Jack Tame: The Epstein files have been illuminating

Saturday Morning with Jack Tame ·

2026/02/06

I’m generally sceptical of conspiracy theories. Call me old fashioned, but I’m pretty sure we landed on the moon. I think 9/11 was al-Qaeda, not an inside job. I think climate change is real. But I’ve got to admit, I’ve been captivated by the information released in the Epstein files. And while I still don’t think it reveals a coordinated paedophile ring, the trove of information released so far has been far more enlightening than I ever anticipated it would be. Truthfully, I thought it would be a

Nici Wickes: Blueberry Muffins

2026/02/06

Sometimes we forget about trusted old favourites in favour of the latest trend or new fancy ingredient, but can you remember your first blueberry muffin? The joy and juiciness of each bite, the fact that they’re very likely better on day two, and that buttering them will change your life. Make the most of late season blueberries this weekend.

Saturday Morning with Jack Tame ·

2026/01/31

The 2026 Winter Olympic Games are just one week away. New Zealand’s presence at the Games is growing, with 17 athletes set to compete this year. And though he won’t be competing this year, two-time Winter Olympic medallist Nico Porteous knows how they’ll be feeling. At age 16, he won the Bronze at the 2018 Games in PyeongChang, and four years later, took the Gold in Beijing. But last year he decided to shift focus, stepping away from the Olympic-level competition. Porteous had been in high

Kevin Milne: A Banksy moment in the old Yellow Pages

Saturday Morning with Jack Tame ·

2026/01/31

Privacy has been a big topic of discussion this week, and it got Kevin Milne and his wife Linda thinking about the old Yellow and White Pages. There was a time where every household had their own copy, and while they haven’t been discontinued entirely, they are a lot less common nowadays. But one notable year, some workers at Yellow Pages pulled a Banksy, and the doodle wasn’t noticed until much too late. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chris Schulz: Yumi Zouma - No Love Lost to Kindness

Saturday Morning with Jack Tame ·

2026/01/31

The fifth studio album from NZ indie-rock quartet Yumi Zouma, ‘No Love Lost To Kindness’ is a turning point for the band. In this album they made a deliberate effort to shed the soft-focus production of their previous works in favour of a heavy and more emotionally exposed feeling ‘No Love Lost To Kindness’ was recorded in Mexico City, and tackles themes of confrontation, diagnosis, disillusionment, risk, and honesty. Chris Schulz joined Jack Tame to share his thoughts on the album. LISTEN ABOVESee

"For Kiwis heading to Asia or onwards to Europe, Singapore can feel like the gateway to the world. But rather than just transiting at Changi Airport, breaking up long-haul flights with a restorative layover in the Lion City is one of my tried and trusted ways to minimise the insidious scourge of travel fatigue. For Kiwi families travelling with children, I strongly recommend threading a stopover on Sentosa Island into your long-haul plans to combat jetlag. It’s like a holiday within a holiday, a

Dear Debbie by Frieda McFadden Sometimes, enough is enough… Debbie Mullen is losing it. For years, she has compiled all of her best advice into her column, Dear Debbie, where the wives of New England come for sympathy and neighborly advice. Through her work, Debbie has heard from countless women who are ignored, belittled, or even abused by their husbands. And Debbie does her best to guide them in the right direction. Or at least, she did. These days, Debbie’s life seems to be spiraling out of

Kate Hall: Things I'm not buying in 2026

Saturday Morning with Jack Tame ·

2026/01/31

We’re all guilty of buying things we don’t need sometimes, but there are ways to curb that behaviour and make things a little bit more sustainable. Kate Hall has a list of things she’s not buying in 2026, paper towels, seasonal decor, and fast fashion just a few, but instead of giving them up entirely, she’s figured out a few alternative options.

Ed McKnight: The importance of having a will

Saturday Morning with Jack Tame ·

2026/01/31

For one reason or another, many people don’t think about what will happen when they die. What will happen to their belongings, their money, their assets. But in a world where blended families and complicated dynamics are becoming increasingly common, it’s becoming more and more important to ensure you have a will organised. Ed McKnight joined Jack Tame to discuss the importance of having a will – telling a story of how the lack of one tore one family apart. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener

Ruud Kleinpaste: Growing Pomegranates

Growing Pomegranates is not a very popular gardening subject in New Zealand, yet, once you get into it you might be surprised what the shrub looks like and how the fruits taste when fully grown and mature. Punica granatum is the one with red flowers that hails from the Mediterrané and Tropical and Sub-Tropical regions. The Socotran Pomegranate hails from the Socotra Island (Yemen) and has pink flowers but less sweet fruit when it ripens. My research tells me they grow well in warm regions, but I

2026/01/30

Apple makes a surprise acquisition Apple isn't known for being an M&A machine, but has made a $2 billion deal (according to the FT) to purchase an AI company – surprise, surprise. Q.ai is a four-year-old startup in the speech detection space, which can understand whispered speech and improve speech detection in noisy environments. They also have a patent to read your lips and understand micro-expressions on your face. I'd expect to see this new tech deployed on the Vision Pro and the AirPods.

In our house this week, the juggle gets real. After a year’s maternity leave, my wife is heading back to work. With a nearly-one-year-old and a nearly-nine-year-old, we’re balancing the two kids with two working parents. Every day is logistical jiu jitsu. My wife has been making this point for ages, but as we’ve counted down the days to the new normal, I’ve come to appreciate its salience more than ever. Even though young people are the key to our future, economic and otherwise, somehow we’ve
