K Road; A Weary Ode
from Rats In The Gutter
This episode sees our hosts waxing lyrical on their spiritual and physical home amidst New Zealand’s frequently maligned pleasure-strip Karangahape Rd, having resided in and around the place for a combined thirteen years. With a nod to their shared origin working at Cocos Cantina, the pair dispel hysterical mid-lockdown reporting that the CBD had become NYC in the eighties (blatantly untrue), as well as asking just how queer/depraved the strip remains after an influx of natural wine stores and corporate-friendly eateries. Also, a discussion of K Rd in 2022 wouldn’t be complete without a (slightly nervous) nod to the strip’s own Candyman character, The Whistler. Hosted on Acast.
