Our guest picking the music is Jon Toogood, a name very familiar to music lovers in Aotearoa.
Jon is the frontman of Shihad, the anthemic rock band who have been performing for over 35 years, touring the world and playing hits like ’Pacifier’, ‘Home Again’ and ‘The General Electric’.
Jon Toogood has just released his first solo album Last of the Lonely Gods . It's an album he wrote to make sense of a few challenging years which included the death of his mother, his brother in law, and health issues from long-covid.
