"One of life’s great truths is that Las Vegas never rests on its laurels. It is constantly in a state of evolution and reinvention, unfurling ever brighter and more ambitious embellishments to enrich its entertainment arsenal."

As we approach the Easter break —a time typically filled with texts, chocolate, memes, and quick check-ins— new research from 2degrees suggests Kiwis may be craving something more meaningful. The study reveals a modern contradiction: Kiwis have more ways to stay in touch than ever, but two thirds say meaningful conversations are harder to come by. While texting and social media have become the default, a phone call still has the greatest emotional impact - 77% say they feel meaningfully better

Ruud Kleinpaste: Amazing slugs and snails in New Zealand

Saturday Morning with Jack Tame ·

2026/04/03

It might not be obvious in Aotearoa, but there’s something like 1400 different species of snails! They’re in many groups and with many different jobs to do, in the forests, in liquid habitats, on tree trunks, and in your garden. Native snails consume dead and decaying leaves, fungus, and algae (they don’t eat your veggie garden) and leave behind nutrient-rich poo for soil health. The Leaf-veined slug is one of those Molluscs that slithers around in the evening and at night. Their movement can be

Australia's social media ban's first report card is in and there’s room for improvement The regulator says the big social media companies are not doing enough to keep children off their platforms, particularly having insufficient measures to prevent kids from creating new accounts, not providing effective ways to report under-16s, and allowing those who said they were under 16 before the ban to say they were actually over 16.

Saturday Morning with Jack Tame ·

2026/04/03

For my birthday this year, my wife went above and beyond. I didn’t want a product. I didn’t want a thing. For the last year of my thirties, I asked for an experience. And a couple of months before the big day, I casually dropped it into conversation. “How would you feel,” I asked. “If for my birthday this year, you took on all of the family duties for a bit... So I can duck off for a couple of nights in the bush?” I’ll admit to a bias —I’ve spent more time in that any other— but I reckon the

Chris Schulz: Robyn - Sexistential

Saturday Morning with Jack Tame ·

2026/03/28

The ninth studio album from Swedish musician Robyn, ‘Sexistential’ is a return to an earlier form. Unlike the softer sounds of her previous album ‘Honey’, her latest release is reminiscent of her 2010 trilogy ‘Body Talk’ – Robyn working with the same producer, Klas Åhlund, as she did on that project. In Chris Schulz’s opinion, the album is easily the best pop album of the year so far, and he joined Jack Tame to share his full thoughts. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy
