Shipwreck Sunday Radio Show with Captain Festus and Chalkie the cat
Tune in live via www.radiohydra.org at 12pm on Sundays (NZ time)
Started in 2021, this family radio show is produced and presented by award-winning New Zealand pirate Captain Festus McBoyle. The Captain is joined by nine-year-old co-host ‘Chalkie the Cat’ and together they offer a slightly edgy alternative for those families who require more than just a weekly ‘Wiggle Fix’.
You’ll hear everything from classic punk and rock n roll, to nostalgic family hits and stories, and plenty of the Captain’s back catalogue thrown in there for good measure. Exciting weekly features such as book reviews, facts about animals, insects and birds, fun jokes and poems. They also make regular trips into Miss Lucy’s treasure chest, as well as offering some rather oddball interviews with some very interesting people.
Join them for an hour of madness every week.

The Captain also offers a weekly Spotify playlist with just the songs from each episode. These are also available via the player below.
