New Zealand's classical public radio network features Randy Newman as its composer-of-the-week this week - only one 'popular' composer gets this coveted slot each year (in previous years they have deigned to feature Dylan, Zappa, Joni Mitchell, Bowie). The 6 x 54 minute programmes are podcast for two weeks here...
