Whitcoulls recommends Geraldine Brooks and Robbi Neal

2022/06/19

Horse by Geraldine Brooks (the wonderful Geraldine Brooks!) A wonderful mix of history and fiction, art and science, based on the true story of the famous 19th century Kentucky racehorse Lexington and the social milieu in which he came to fame amidst slavery, injustice, and an obsession with horses. A painting of him unites a young couple in 2019 – Jess who studies the skeleton to understand the champion’s physiology, and an art historian named Theo. The care and reverence in this book is remarkable

Hearing of long waiting times in our hospitals ED’s – sometimes with terrible consequences. GPs are also struggling. We don’t have enough GPs – people are waiting weeks, often over a month to see a GP – and yet universities are saying they can take more medical students. Can you see any logic in the caps on the numbers of medical students Universities can take? What do you want Matariki to be for New Zealand? Do we have an opportunity here to have a really positive, big New Zealand

Would you let a company pay you $2k to release 100 cockroaches into your home to live with you for 30 days all in the name of science? Last week a company in North Carolina called the Pest Informer put out that exact request with the advert: https://www.thepestinformer.com/get-paid-to-live-with-cockroaches/ Participants must grant the company permission to release roughly 100 American cockroaches which are the largest of the house-infesting roaches into their homes and film over 30 days as they test

2022/06/18

I’m a Blues rugby supporter. It’s been a long and winding road supporting this team, and I haven’t always been the best supporter. Some years the Blues have failed to grab my attention, and other years my attention has drifted elsewhere – I’ve surprised myself by becoming a bit of an NRL fan now too. But I will always be a Blues supporter at heart. I’ve never been tempted to support a team other than the one based in the city where I was born and have spent the majority of my life. I could have

Whitcoulls recommends John Grisham and Mohamed Hassan

The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin ·

2022/06/12

Sparring Partners by John Grisham. It is, in fact, three novellas in one book, each of which is an intriguing read. One concerns Jake Brigance – a character familiar to Grisham readers, who’s a lawyer in a town with too many of them, struggling to make a buck. Then there’s a guy on death row whose time is running out; and a family law firm torn apart by murder, ego and plain bad behaviour. As always, Grisham delivers a truly entertaining read – these stories are up there with his best work. How to

I mentioned before the news, that my next guest almost inspired me to up and leave the family … to head off into the hills on an adventure. One day journalist Hazel Phillips did just that, ditched the laptop and set off for three years living in mountain huts and tramping alone for days at a time – all while holding down a full-time job. Hazel has shared her story in a new book, Solo: Backcountry Adventuring in Aotearoa New Zealand. After returning to the real world for a few years, she’s

Mushrooms! Who loves them? We all do! (well, I would have to say most people do apart from my two girls) But here's hoping that will change as they get older. The reason why I want to talk about mushrooms this week. First reason: as the rain has come this week, with it has come the mushrooms growing under our totara tree. Second reason: for anyone wanting to know more about mushrooms and more so, growing your very own! We have a class coming up at the school which is all about that on the 14th of
