The Paleface Parabola - 19-08-2026 Radio.The drug I wish no withdrawal symptoms from. Radio is electrifying at its best. Our show isn’t the best but most weeks we’ll stand by it. Like this week. I sought redemption from my sin-drenched life on our Parabola and lo and behold, trouble knocked on the door but ran away when it heard laughter. Yucks make the heart joyous Music does too. And just for a moment. A too brief moment, considering I had three hours of music plus the Mystery Man’s time in the warm sun to end the programme. We didn’t need Route 66 to get our kicks! Here’s your music tease about our programme this week but imho, the full Monty is the better cultural trip. Give us an hour and 58 to live your best life with ears to match. We were pleased to roll out new and live Sparks, The Staple Singers, Dean Ween, U-Roy with the Mighty Diamonds, and the Odds and Ends from 1965. The Mystery Man got ethereal on us with dream music from Estonia, and we we then fled like snow leopards. Listen

Tanglaw Connect Ep 10 - The Home She Prayed For We meet Josephine Caldona, an Overseas Filipino Worker whose journey has taken her across different countries in search of work and a better future. Like many OFWs, Josephine learned to be strong and independent while living far from the Philippines. But behind her courage was a deeply personal dream: to find a place she could truly call home and, most importantly, to be reunited with her daughter. As a single mother, Josephine carried the weight of providing for her family while navigating life and work in different countries. The journey was not always easy, but she continued to move forward, holding on to the hope that one day she would no longer have to choose between earning a living and being with the daughter she loves. It was in Aotearoa New Zealand that Josephine found the opportunity she had long hoped for. New Zealand became more than another country where she could work. It became a place where she could build a life, reunite with her daughter, and finally experience the sense of home she had been searching for. Join Glady Mabini as Josephine shares a deeply personal story of motherhood, sacrifice, courage, perseverance, and faith. A story of a woman who journeyed through different places, carried many responsibilities, and never stopped hoping for the day when she could finally say, “I am home.” Tanglaw Connect celebrates resilience, faith, and the Filipino spirit while fostering connection, belonging, and encouragement for listeners wherever they may be.
