Jack Tame: It really puts our other problems in perspective

July 28, 2023 21:42 - 5 minutes - 4.77 MB

Have you ever been to the Hanmer hotpools? They were my first hotpool experience. North Canterbury. And they hold a bit of a special place in my heart.  What about Polynesian Spa in Rotorua? Think about how it feels to walk into the hot pools. You dip a toe or a foot, you kind of brace yourself as you wait to adjust to the heat. And then, how you ease yourself in. How you move slowly, you find a spot to sit down and slip beneath the warm water. They gently do their thing, easing and relax...

Bad Summer People – Emma Rosenblum  None of them would claim to be a good person, but who among them is capable of murder?  The families on the island have been vacationing here for years; the Weinsteins, the Metzners, the Grobels - and unlucky in love Rachel Woolf. Outsiders aren't welcome.

July 22, 2023 00:37 - 5 minutes - 4.78 MB

This weekend I am in Taupo – basically to celebrate a Company that has been trapping vermin and exotic pests to create predator-free forests and landscapes.

Nici Wickes: Marmalade Steamed Pudding

July 21, 2023 23:13 - 5 minutes - 4.98 MB

Jack Tame: As fans, we never know

July 21, 2023 21:42 - 5 minutes - 5.08 MB

Amidst all of the amazing sporting action we’re being treated to at the moment, I’ve been mad for the Tour de France. I was sucked in by the Netflix series following last year’s competition, and I’ve keenly prioritised watching the highlights over the last few weeks of racing. The Tour is almost over and the final result is essentially a foregone conclusion. Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard is about to back up his win last year and ride to glory along the Parisian streets. For most of the tour,...

Ruud Kleinpaste: Hibernating (Overwintering) in unexpected places

July 14, 2023 23:53 - 5 minutes - 4.89 MB

Insect life cycles vary from species to species. It all depends on where they live and what the temperatures are in summer, and in winter Many “overwinter” as eggs – which is easy: no eating needed, no movement needed… which is handy as temperatures are low in winter and insect movement can only happen when temps are comfortable.  Remember: they are cold-blooded, so rely on external temperatures to get energy for movement. So, cold conditions means not much movement. Examples: aphids (on h...

The NY Times has declared The Great Resignation over... but people quitting their jobs without another one to go to is still a very common occurrence (often *cough* at a particular time of their lives).   Not only do we see it often – but we see how it can often go wrong, and there are definitely things you can do to stop it being a source of relationship friction, financial stress and a recipe for a crisis of confidence.  LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Actors have joined the Writers in striking - and again AI is a key issue  160,000 performers stopped work at midnight - no more publicity tours, events, filming and more for the biggest names in Hollywood.

July 14, 2023 22:02 - 5 minutes - 4.92 MB

Matariki is a time to celebrate all things Aotearoa; relax, think, and kōrero about what the coming year can bring. It’s best to do this around a tableful of food I find : )  It’s a great opportunity to focus on ingredients that are locally grown and I just love this peppery pesto made with watercress and NZ-grown pine nuts.    Ingredients A few big handfuls fresh watercress, washed  ¼ cup pine nuts – use Pinoli which are grown in NZ!  30-50g grated parmesan  Juice from one lemon  ¼ ...

Jack Tame: Sometimes you have to make unpopular calls

July 14, 2023 21:33 - 3 minutes - 3.66 MB

I was driving about some of the outskirts of Nelson this week and it took me a bit of time to notice it. Since my last visit to the region earlier this year, several of the large billboards that had been hammered up on the sides of the road to protest the Three Waters reforms have been removed and not obviously replaced. I don’t know if it’s a Nelson thing or if the billboards have just been moved to another location, or if their removal is symptomatic of something greater nationwide. But ...

Ruud Kleinpaste: Reproduction

July 07, 2023 23:24 - 3 minutes - 3.13 MB

Spent some time looking at Julie’s wonderful display of bright pink Cyclamen – they are flowering beautifully – such an old-fashioned plant… (my mother had them in pots outside, all those years ago) But those Cyclamen Coum have not always been in the large pot in which the Cumquat grows its small bright-yellow/orange citrus fruits; It was one of those experimental accidents that seems to be the result of Julie’s arty Green thumbs. A few years ago, she put a small pot with Cyclamen under th...

Meta says 70 million people have now signed up for Threads and there have been over 90 million posts. It took Twitter four years to build that audience.     Elon is now threatening to sue Meta, alleging Meta has copied Twitter, saying  "competition is fine, cheating is not".

Jack Tame: Distracting kids on road trips

July 07, 2023 21:32 - 4 minutes - 4.06 MB

The drive was only three hours but we knew we’d have to distract him. It’s not his fault! 6-year-olds simply do not have the biologicial composition for sitting still in place for more than about 14 seconds. And even a relatively simple drive, Auckland to Rotorua, is an almighty test for the first weekend of the school holidays. When I was a kid, my parents used to try and placate us with food.

July 01, 2023 00:50 - 10 minutes - 9.45 MB

Lusciously located at the confluence of the mighty Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers, the very name Phnom Penh conjures up an image of the exotic. I recently visited Cambodia’s capital with Emerald Cruises on their magnificent week-long float from Ho Chi Minh City. From the fluttering saffron robes of passing monks to the glimmering spires of the Royal Palace, Phnom Penh struts its Buddhist stripes at every turn. But the Cambodian capital’s shine was egregiously tarnished by the ravages of the Khm...

July 01, 2023 00:45 - 4 minutes - 4.41 MB

One of the common queries from the Garden involves the phenomenon of leafcurl on the leaves of peaches, nectarines, apricots, almonds …. STONE FRUIT in other words. It is caused by the fungus Taphrina deformans. The leaves (especially in spring) are discoloured and contorted (if there is such a word) disfigured and looking quite awful. Colours vary from pale green to pink and deeper purple colours, but the distortions are very diagnostic: as if the leaves have become a lot “thicker” The ...
