10 Titles
Talk Talk is a nosy and entertaining talk show series filled with conversation, music and a determination to probe the private lives and pubic attitudes of those New Zealanders lucky and gifted enough to earn a living from their creativity. Fronted by former Listener editor, broadcaster and award-winning Sunday Star-Times columnist Finlay Macdonald, the 30-minute series of 13 follows a classic talk show format - two interviews and a song. The focus of the interviews will be more on the artists talking about their lives and less on asking them to dissect their art. Featured guests will be drawn from the wide world of the New Zealand arts - music, writing, acting, fashion, photography, painting, dance, architecture and everything in-between. Just no politicians, CEOs, TV presenters or dusty sports legends. In the music spot, which will form a centrepiece of each episode, guests will again range over the whole breadth of stand-out local music - from pop, to classical, jazz to opera, country to R&B.
