Gosh, we live in an amazing country. There’s been plenty of talk this year about how we’ve lost our mojo and the country has lost its way with the cost of living, the state of our health and education systems - and they’re all appropriate conversations to have. But if you get the chance to step away from your day to day concerns and get out into the wild, you’re quickly reminded there’s so much to love about this beautiful country of ours. It was a real treat to have a weekend off last week -

The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin ·

2023/11/26

Resurrection Walk by Michael Connelly: this is another of his books with two of his big characters both starring – Mickey Haller and Harry Bosch (who are half brothers). Haller has agreed to represent a woman who’s in prison for killing her husband who was a sheriff’s deputy, and he hires Harry Bosch to investigate it. The sheriff’s department closes ranks as he starts digging and it’s soon apparent there are a lot of people who really don’t want this case reopened. It’s classic Connelly, done as

How is it that so much of what’s happening across the world remains both physically and mentally aloof from you and I, on an ongoing basis? Sure, we talk about the war in Ukraine, we mutter comments of condemnation about the atrocities unfolding in The Gaza Strip; but what is it that any of us do that actually makes a difference? Our new Government along with Australia and Canada’s – are also very reluctant to make any real noise about the genocide taking place in The Gaza Strip. Chris Hipkins

The ability to get around any city through an online map service is only possible thanks to satellites in space helping to guide us to our destination. Satellites are also crucial for world-wide communication and connection as well as monitoring weather and climate change. While all of this sounds amazing, our increased desire for more means that the number of satellites in orbit is expected to increase dramatically over the next few years. We already have over 10,000 satellites and over 100

'47 Ronin' director Carl Rinsch was given millions to develop a sci-fi series for Netflix- a series that will never see the light of day. It was revealed that Rinsch allegedly spent some of the $55 million provided by Netflix on stocks and Dogecoin, before spending more money on sports cars and luxury goods. Netflix has since cancelled the planned 13-episode series. Flicks.co.nz editor Steve Newall says Rinsch had been described as 'erratic' before signing on with Netflix. LISTEN ABOVESee

ZB's resident travel expert Megan Singleton says there's a lot of misunderstandings as to what a luggage warranty covers. Travellers have plenty of misconceptions as to what a warranty can take care of- and what types of wear and tear call for a replacement. She says checking for damage while you're at the airport is essential, as the airline is only expected to cover damage incurred between check-in and post-flight collection.
