Lowe frequently listed countries and cities that Beats 1 is available in, rattling off names like New York, London, Germany, Brooklyn and Vancouver at double-quick time.
He included New Zealand in that list, giving shout outs to Wellington, Auckland, his mother, and his brother.
It's the first time Kiwi fans have been able to hear Lowe on air: his London-based BBC Radio 1 show, which he recently left to helm Beats 1, was blocked internationally.
Lowe's style, yelling over songs, replaying songs that he loves, and frantically ranting about how much he loves a band, isn't to everyone's tastes.
Lowe's first interview on today's second show is Eminem. Check out the schedule here.
