Dr Dougal Sutherland: Are pets as good for our...

Saturday Morning with Jack Tame ·

2025/08/30

There’s a common belief that having a pet is good for one’s wellbeing. You often hear stories about how looking into a dog’s eyes gives you an emotional boost or that using real and fake animals in rest homes boosts residents’ moods, but it turns out it’s not a guaranteed path to better mental health – reality is more nuanced. Some studies do find that pet owners report lower anxiety and loneliness, and greater life satisfaction. However, other studies show no significant difference, and some have

Manhattan Down by Michael Cordy On the anniversary eve of the 9/11 terror attack, New York swelters under a heat dome of record temperatures. Even the global leaders assembled at the UN HQ are forced to admit that the climate crisis has reached boiling point and the world's time is running out. That same day, at precisely 5-25 p.m., everyone on Manhattan Island - every man, woman and child, including all the world leaders at the UN - falls unconscious. Everyone that is, except for Samantha Rossi,

Bryan Betty: Iron Deficiencies

Saturday Morning with Jack Tame ·

2025/08/30

Iron deficiencies are an important but often hidden issue – the most common mineral deficiency in the world. Not having enough iron in the body can lead to a range of health problems. Why is iron so important in the body? It’s important for making red blood cells in our blood, which carries oxygen around the body. If we don’t have enough iron, we don’t produce enough red blood cells – we call this anaemia. It’s also important for the immune system and growth and development in children. How

Saturday Morning with Jack Tame ·

2025/08/29

Understaffed 911 call centres are turning to AI to help 911 callers come with some of the most urgent and serious issues, most of the time. But people also, stupidly, call 911 for noise complaints, lost wallets, and more. People see 911 as the way to reach the police. This means the operators are run off their feet dealing with all sorts of nonsense. Now there's a startup training its AI agents on 911 calls to help triage and get humans on the more important calls. It's being used in around a

The Courier smiled as he deposited the two catalogues on our door-step – he knows we’re Nature Nerds, and so do the lovely folk at Kings Seeds. We both settled in front of the fireplace, going through the Nurture/Nourish reading. I was checking all the tomato varieties and other food delicacies, while Juuls browsed all the pretty stuff in Kings Seeds line-up. Always interesting to see how two people focus on the plant species that is close to their Heart, Art, and Stomach! I kept my Tomato wishes

Whether it’s the government, international organisations, higher education, or the media, one of the defining dynamics of the social media age is the deteriorating trust in public institutions. It’s extraordinary, really. At a time when humans are on the whole wealthier, healthier, and more dominant than at any other time in our species’ history, we’re more distrustful of the institutions that are supposed to serve us.

A true New Zealand music legend, Don McGlashan has written some of our most-loved tunes. From ‘Anchor Me’ in his time with the Mutton Birds, through to his incredible work as a solo artist and his compositions for film and television. In 2023 McGlashan went on a very special tour around New Zealand, and off the back he’s released his first solo live album – ‘Take It To The Bridge’.

2025/08/23

The third album from Icelandic singer-songwriter Laufey, ‘A Matter of Time’ represents a shift towards vulnerability and emotional expressiveness. Her two earlier albums were heavily influenced by the ‘Great American Songbook’, filled with her now iconic blend of jazz, classical, and pop influences. ‘A Matter of Time’ is a look inwards, Laufey’s interest in seeing how she could draw out the “most flawed parts of [herself] and look at them directly in the mirror”.

Wolf Hour by Jo Nesbo This killer has a story. When a small-time crook is shot down in the streets of Minneapolis, all signs point to a lone wolf, a sniper who has vanished into thin air. To tell it, he needs to get caught. When the shooter strikes again, it’s maverick detective Bob Oz they call in to crack the case. They don’t think this victim will be the last.

Growing your own vegetables is one way to stay sustainable in the kitchen, but it’s not the only way to keep your food habits sustainable. It’s not just about the garden, there are simple kitchen swaps that reduce waste and packaging, and Kate Hall joined Jack Tame to run through a few of them, including: DIY basics: making your own yoghurt, bread, or soda water (less packaging, fewer additives). Preserving and fermenting (e.g. sauerkraut, kombucha) is cheap, healthy, and reduces food waste.

Haydn Jones is a little late to the trend, but this week he started baking sourdough. Falling in between the craft beer and veggie garden stages, nothing says you’ve hit middle-aged quite like a sourdough starter. This was exemplified for Haydn by the visit he and his friend made to Briscoes on their hunt for a good baking dish. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ruud Kleinpaste: Winter movements with silk

2025/08/23

Before we lose our Winter Scenes, it might be an idea to get up at sunset and look around your garden (or a nearby forest, if you like). Spiders are in many places, despite the cold, icy conditions. The best time to see their “websites” is on dew-laden mornings – the owners are nearby and await the rising of that wintry sun. Spider silk glands have liquid proteins called spidroins. They're actually kind of gooey and are pressed out gently to form silk. It’s strong, yet light and flexible – a
