Wilhelmina Shrimpton: Timing really is everything

Saturday Morning with Jack Tame ·

2024/01/26

I want to talk about timing, because it really is everything. It can be the difference between whether you say or do something, and it can be the difference between whether you don’t. It can shape opinion, and it can morph public perception. The timing of an announcement or an incident can also dictate how it’s received. I think we’ve well and truly seen the importance of timing when it comes to our politicians and their mental health struggles. I know that Francesca Rudkin spoke about this

Saturday Morning with Jack Tame ·

2024/01/20

Home-grown in Aōtearoa, Erny Belle released her debut album in 2022. 'Venus is Home' is flavoured with the sounds of alt-folk, country, and Pacific-pop and is an ode to her connection with her grandmother and growing up in rural Aōtearoa. Her latest album 'Not Your Cupid' expands upon its predecessor, adding new influences. The album is less narrative and more focused on imaginings, the throughline a little more cryptic and intuitive.

Mike Yardley: Encounters in Glacier Country

Saturday Morning with Jack Tame ·

2024/01/20

"South Westland’s natural splendour seems to grow in awe-inspiring intensity the further south you go. There’s a fairytale quality to the sense of escapism, as you drive through those long and leafy highway glades, where the forest canopy drapes across the road. I wended my way to Whataroa, where nesting is the star attraction. Just out of Whataroa, the rare white heron/kōtuku nest at the Waitangiroto Nature Reserve from September to March." "Just 25 minutes south from Whataroa, Ōkārito is an

Dr Bryan Betty: The importance of yearly check-ups

Saturday Morning with Jack Tame ·

2024/01/19

Why bother with a yearly check-up? - Prevention is better than cures. - There are many things that we may not be aware of that we can do something about. - In many cases it’s not about now but about the future. - Three main areas to think about: checking for cardiovascular risk factors, early detection cancer, and prevention of disease. What things will your GP check for? - They’ll check for the ‘hidden’ issues. - Physical: look at blood pressure and weight in particular. Both can cause

Saturday Morning with Jack Tame ·

2024/01/19

Some new research suggests our fingerprints may not be as unique as we thought they are. The common thesis has always been that each of our fingerprints is unique, but researchers from Columbia University have run AI over 60,000 fingerprints and found that it's possible to detect when two fingerprints belong to the same person with 75-90% accuracy. Here's the scary part - they don't know how AI is doing it, but it doesn't seem to be using the markers that forensics experts have been using for

Francesca Rudkin: Are we too hard on politicians?

Saturday Morning with Jack Tame ·

2024/01/19

This week I found myself wondering if we’re too hard on politicians? Is there enough support for those who choose to go into public service? And why do we forget they’re human too? When we see some of politics’ most passionate, talented, hard-working participants, some touted as potential leaders, hit mental health road bumps which often derail their careers, you’ve got to wonder if it’s worth it. This time last year our then Prime Minister called a press conference and announced she didn’t

It was left to my wife to break the bad news. Our boy was sitting patiently in the back of the car and as we made our way across town, she gently asked him about the letter which we’d just discovered he’d written to Santa. “When did you write it?” She asked. “A couple of weeks ago. I didn’t tell you, cos it was going straight to Santa.” “Fair call. Good thinking. Who helped you do it?” “My Kaiako... my teacher.” “And... um... What did you ask for?” “Oh, nothing major,” he said. “The

Mike Yardley: South Westland's World Heritage wilderness

Saturday Morning with Jack Tame ·

2023/12/16

"One of my favourite Kiwi road trips can be mistaken as an unsung feeder route in South Westland, stitching the West Coast’s Glacier Country to the glittery allure of Wanaka and Queenstown. Rushing is the problem. Anyone who races through the ravishing Haast Pass Highway is unwittingly short-changing themselves. Set aside the time to devour its epic glories. As the last mountain pass to be constructed over the Southern Alps and only fully chip-sealed in 1995, this 140km-long panoramic alpine pass

‘Tis the season to eat, drink, and be merry. Emphasis on drink. Increased alcohol consumption can be a problem at this time of year, especially as people are under increased amounts of stress and pressure. This can sometimes contribute to problem drinking, as people increasingly use alcohol or other drugs as a way to cope. At Christmas, drinking becomes even more socially acceptable, and workplaces have a role in this, often via work Christmas functions which give people the license to drink as
