2022/10/22

Eating well and cleaning up our diets are good habits we should maintain, but what happens when we take it too far? Focusing on what you eat can easily develop into an obsession, and diet culture can contribute to people having unhealthy relationships with eating and food. Erin O'Hara, naturopath and wellness expert, joined us to talk about how diet culture is linked to eating disorders and how 'eating clean' can contribute to eating anxiety and become unhealthy. "People quite often think of

We have a number of hives on the farm which are looked after by Conrad from Hokianga Pure Honey. Conrad is an amazing bee keeper and is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to all things honey. We have had our hives for 5 years (apart from the odd bee sting, mainly me). They are reasonably easy to keep and our percentage of honey from the hives each year is well over 60kg. Not to mention the pollination of our kitchen gardens and orchard. We use honey throughout the year in all our classes and

The science of how we hear has always been a little bit of a mystery. Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have revealed, for the first time and in near-atomic detail, the structure of the key part of the inner ear responsible for hearing. This breakthrough was aided by an unexpected ally- good old round worms. Dr Joel Rindelaub joined us to take us through the study and the findings.

2022/10/22

Kiwi investigative journalist David Farrier is often drawn to the weird stranger than fiction stories. His new documentary is certainly no exception – it follows the story of a very unique man, Michael Organ. Michael first came to David’s attention through the Bashford Antiques clamping saga. The investigation quickly turns into a game of cat and mouse between Organ and Farrier. The documentary, Mister Organ, is out in cinemas November 10th, and David Farrier joined us to discuss.

Over in the UK, Liz Truss has resigned from her role as Prime Minister, and there's been plenty of speculation about who will replace her. Boris Johnson has been spotted flying back to the UK from a Caribbean holiday, but there's no official confirmation as to whether or not he'll run for Prime Minister again. Rushi Sunak is another candidate who may be a front runner, but he hasn't made any official statements confirming that he'll run either. The deadline for candidates to officially confirm that

Today on The Sunday Panel, TVNZ producer Irene Gardiner and Liam Hehir, legal expert and contributor for The Spinoff, are here to talk about: NZ First's big comeback announcement. Do we need NZ First and Winston Peters back? Will it work in this political climate? And can we trust them? In perhaps the most on-brand for New Zealand story ever, should the Kakapo be expelled for its success ahead of the nation's Bird of the Year contention?

Exiles by Jane Harper. In the last few years she’s become the Queen of Australian crime. Her first book was six years ago, called The Dry (was also made into a movie which has just started screening on Netflix). This new one is set in small town South Australia, where one night a woman goes missing at a festival leaving her baby in a pram.

Kiwi comedian Chris Parker has had a busy couple of years so far, in terms of media appearances and content producing. Between his relatable and compelling lockdown parody videos, and publicised interest in felting (the latter even getting him a spot in the Auckland Museum) from last year and his successful run on reality TV in 2022, he's had lots to do. In between winning TVNZ's Celebrity Treasure Island in 2021, appearing on this year's iteration of Taskmaster, and maintaining a comedy tour

A surprising tip for weight loss that many people might not have considered has to do with the timing of meals. As intermittent fasting becomes more popular, the times you choose to eat have been linked to weight loss or weight gain. For instance, skipping breakfast and delaying lunch til three pm in the afternoon have confirmed links to obesity. Erin O'Hara, naturopath and wellness expert, talked us through picking the right times to eat and how to space out meals in the best way to kick-start

There are few stories which have raised my hackles more than a recent one which has now reached the international news media around our arts council, Creative New Zealand, and its decision to pull funding for a Shakespeare festival. This has been running in secondary schools around New Zealand for around three decades and has involved the participation of more than 120,000 students. Now in its wisdom, or should I say in its short-sighted political bigotry, Creative New Zealand has decided that this

Lab-grown brain cells have developed enough sentience to play arcade game 'Pong', according to recent data. The cells were taught to play the game by the scientists who grew them, and they developed their skills independently. University Of Auckland Research Fellow Joel Rindelaub explained what this means for scientific development and what these cells may be capable of in later studies.

This version of Netflix will be cheaper for subscribers, but will have ads mixed in with the content.
