SCRUBCUTTERS
Scrubcutter is punchy, personal, thought provoking. In 90-seconds it aims to inspire listeners to think about life's issues. It communicates a positive Christian perspective in an intelligent and entertaining way. Scrubcutter is broadcast across New Zealand's top rating nation-wide NewstalkZB network every week day afternoon (excluding Auckland/Wellington).

REAL LIFE WITH JOHN COWAN
8pm-9pm on NewstalkZB every Sunday night Real Life with John Cowan is a nationwide chat show, featuring a different high-profile guest every week. John talks with each guest about their life, their passions and their view of the world. And in particular, we chat about faith, spirituality and "God-stuff". Guests to date have included Paul Holmes, Judy Bailey, Dave Dobbyn, Graham Henry and many others. Click here to see the full list of guests to date.
