I'm up / working late...

We all know the reason Sabrina Carpenter is late, it's because she's a singer. But OJ wants to hear why you're up late, even better if you sing it to OJ...

We all know the reason Sabrina Carpenter is late, it's because she's a singer. But OJ wants to hear why you're up late, even better if you sing it to OJ...

Midnight Mastermind is the quiz where you ask the questions and test OJ on your own specialist subject. He never knows the subject beforehand and has just one song to revise before facing the questions.

Wish You Were There is your chance to soundtrack a story or situation that OJ will tell you all about. He wants your suggestions for the perfect song to capture that moment.

OJ will call the Midnight Caller phone at bang on 02:15am, will it be out of Christchurch NZ yet?

Shiftfaced is for everyone on the nightshift, working hard to keep the country going. Tell OJ what you’re up to, who you’re with and where you are. And he’s always keen to know what snacks are powering you through!
