This week negotiating the settlement for Aotearoa's largest iwi Ngāpuhi has seen yet another twist. Moana Tuwhare, the General Manager of Te Runanga o Ngāpuhi and former Treaty Negotiations Minister Chris Finlayson speaks to Mihi.

In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah invite Art Green to step aboard something of a leaky conversational boat. Ever progressively humbled from his distinguished days of being Aotearoa’s favourite Bachelor, Art’s now deeply embedded in the role of Stay At Home Dad, where he prides himself on running a tight ship. Together, he and Matty attempt to unpack the realities of swapping traditional roles, but mostly get side-tracked by divergent yarns and designing, Maurice, the perfect imaginary personal assistant. In a chat that’s both full of hysterical giggles and uncomfortably real, Art reflects on his admiration for single parents and the realisation that most praise he gets for parenting comes from the novelty of being a dad who shows up to do what many mums do largely unremarked upon everyday. There’s also an admirable listener submission for their extended ‘trampolining session’, tips for cleaning vomit out of car seats, book recommendations, and some cute mutual appreciation amongst the group. Whether you’re a tag-teaming couple, a solo parent on fumes, you’ll feel seen in this one ... or, at least, quite well entertained.

On Saturday, Destiny Church held a protest in the Auckland CBD under the slogan “no immigration without assimilation”, denouncing non-Christian religions and other groups in Aotearoa. The demonstration, which Destiny Church leader Brian Tamaki described as a “lawful, peaceful protest”, involved the destruction and burning of flags including the Palestinian flag and the Rainbow Pride flag. Leaders from a collection of ethnic community groups have called for the toughening of hate speech laws in response to the intolerance displayed at this protest action, which political figures like Deputy Prime Minister David Seymour and Police Minister Mark Mitchell condemned as “unkiwi”, and “vile rhetoric and behaviour”. Seeking to dive deeper into the issue of extremism and hostility towards diverse cultures in New Zealand, I spoke with far right and alt-right extremism expert Byron Clark about the protest and the existence of these groups in Aotearoa. Producer Sara began the interview by asking Clark to explain the kind of ideologies that were on display at the protest.

INTERVIEW: Joel and Phaedra from Pearly* release single "Superglue" by Cass Harrop on Radio One 91FM Dunedin

Since the 1800s, tuberculosis (TB) has been responsible for an estimated 1 billion deaths. In New Zealand today, we don't get many cases of TB, but worldwide it is the leading infectious disease killer. In the early 1900s a TB vaccine was developed. Called the BCG vaccine, it's still used today. While it is the best TB vaccine we have, it's not actually great at preventing TB infection, only providing some protection for the youngest of patients. However, scientists have discovered that the BCG vaccine can boost people's immune systems in other ways. Now researchers at the Malaghan Institute in Wellington are investigating these findings further. Sign up to the Our Changing World monthly newsletter for episode backstories, science analysis and more.Guests:Dr Kerry Hilligan, Malaghan InstituteRebecca Palmer, Malaghan InstituteLearn more:In 2017, Alison Ballance reported on the looming antimicrobial resistance crisis, with drug-resistant TB part of the problem.Other Our Changing World episodes about research at the Malaghan Institute include this 2024 episode on a new way to target rising stomach cancer rates, and this 2022 episode on next-generation cancer therapies.In 2021, Claire Concannon covered mRNA vaccine technology.The What if...?

There's questions over how well vaping regulations will be monitored. New rules come in tomorrow, including stricter advertising restrictions for vape retailers and a ban on disposable vapes Aspire Aotearoa Tobacco Control's Doctor Jude Ball says non-compliance is a problem overseas. But she says the number of enforcement agents has increased, so she's expecting the rules to be enforced. "These measures are designed to protect children and young people from a predatory industry, so without that enforcement, they're really meaningless."

Our guests today are Aotearoa four-piece Phoebe Rings, a dream pop band crafting some of the most transportive music you'll hear this year—blending jazz, Korean city pop, soul, and more. Dubbed a local supergroup, the band features members who've played with Tiny Ruins, Fazerdaze, and Lucky Boy, and recently released their stunning debut album Aseurai. The record expands their sonic palette even further, pulling from disco pop, Bossa nova, and '90s Korean ballads.

It's no secret that Aotearoa is facing a range of monumental infrastructure challenges — much has been made lately of the state of our water pipes, ferries, railways and roads. Successive generations of decision makers have kicked the infrastructure maintenance can down the road, and now we are facing a huge bill if we want to keep pace with our growing population. Infrastructure NZ chief executive Nick Leggett joins Bernard Hickey to discuss the scale of the infrastructure challenge facing New Zealand, and how overseas countries have approached similar issues. Ultimately, it all comes down to one key question: how big do we want our population to be in the future? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Currently, 19 out of 38 OECD countries use incineration as a form of waste management. With the process leading to a range of negative impacts, such as air pollution, Co2 emissions and respiratory illnesses, Aotearoa has luckily remained incinerator free. However, calls have been made by some activists to strengthen New Zealand's legislation to ensure that incineration facilities are not opened up in Aotearoa. For this week's Get Action! Oto spoke to Sue Coutts from Zero Waste Network New Zealand to discuss a petition calling on the government to keep New Zealand Incinerator-free. If you'd like to sign this petition, you can find it here:

The Green party recently made renewed calls to the government to sanction Israel for its illegal occupation of Palestine following the seizure of the Madleen, a vessel that aimed to deliver food and medical aid to Gaza. The vessel, which was en route to Gaza, was intercepted in the Mediterranean by the Israeli Defence Forces before being rerouted to Israel with all those on board, among whom was Swedish activist Greta Thunberg. Earlier this week, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Immigration Minister Erica Stanford recently announced the Parent Boost Visa, part of the government's self-described commitment to supporting parents living overseas to visit and stay with their families here in Aotearoa. And, over in the United States, 2000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines have been deployed to Los Angeles in response to protests opposing the city's recent immigration raids. For our weekly catchup with the Green Party, Oto spoke to MP Ricardo Menendez March about all of these issues

This week marks Men's Mental Health Week in Aotearoa – a time to kōrero about the challenges that many men face, and to break down the stigma that still surrounds emotional well-being. For a long time, the phrase ‘harden up' has shaped the way men think about vulnerability, and in turn, often pushes men to bottle up emotions, instead of reaching out for help. ‘Soften Up Bro' is a kaupapa grounded in Te Ao Maori values, encouraging men to embrace softness, honesty and connection. To talk about men's mental health in Aotearoa and this movement, I spoke to co-founder of ‘Soften Up Bro', Heemi Kapa-Kingi.

For our weekly catchup w/ the Green Party's Ricardo Menendez-March, Oto spoke to him about the seizure of the Madleen freedom flotilla by Israeli Defence Forces and the greens' calls for Sanctions on Israel, The government's new Parent Boost Visa and the unrest in Los Angeles opposing the US immigration policies and how it could impact immigration policy here in Aotearoa. For this week's Get Action! Oto spoke to Sue Coutts from Zero Waste Network New Zealand about a petition calling for Aotearoa to be kept incinerator free. And he spoke to Neal Curtis a professor in the Faculty of Arts and Education at the University of Auckland to discuss why “reclaim the wealth” is a better phrase than “tax the rich.” Max spoke to Brigid Carroll, a professor at the University of Auckland, to talk about the traits that make an effective leader. And he spoke to Heemi Kapa-Kingi, Co-Founder of the ‘Soften Up Bro' movement, to talk about men's mental health.

The commons or common land are cultural and natural resources available to all members of a society. In Europe they are prevalent but when early colonists came to Aotearoa they instead prioritised private ownership. The theory at the time was private ownership derives progress. But as we're now seeing that comes with its own drawbacks. In her latest book, An Uncommon Land, Catherine Knight looks at the genesis and evolution of the commons in New Zealand. She speaks to Mark.

You've probably come across Oxygen Advisors if you've spent any time around Aotearoa's startup scene. And if you haven't, well - you've almost certainly heard of the companies they've helped grow. They've been behind the scenes with the likes of Tracksuit, Auror, Ideally and dozens more - helping them grow, operate best in class finance teams and raise capital - guiding them through the tough parts of building. With over 100 startups backed and a 97% survival rate, Matt Dold and Mike Mandis have built a track record that's almost unheard of. In this episode, they join us to pull back the curtain - sharing the frameworks that work, the good habits to cultivate, and the mistakes they help founders avoid. They're speaking more publicly now because they want more founders to succeed. And if you're building something - or thinking about it - this conversation's well worth a listen.

This week on the Tuesday Wire... For Dear Science our expert, Professor Allan Blackman, chatted with us about new theories about the big bang, maths anxiety, and the legitimacy of a silver Dutch basin. In our weekly catchup with the National Party's Tom Rutherford, Wire host Castor asked about Chris Bishop's comments at the Aotearoa Music Awards, the suspension of Te Pāti Māori MPs from parliament, and the new Parent Boost Visa.  They also spoke to CEO of immigration advisory group Aims Global, Arunima Dhingra, about the Parent Boost Visa and how it addresses the issues migrants are facing in Aotearoa. And they spoke to the owner of Hard to Find Books, Warwick Jordan, about news that the bookshop's lease on Saint Benedicts Street will end at the start of next year.  Producer Faith spoke to Kate Stone from Justice for Palestine NZ, about why she thinks our government should recognise the state of Palestine. She also spoke to PhD student Yuan Gao from the University of Auckland's health psychology department, about her research on how robots can help people with dementia.

Every week Jesse cold calls a different information centre somewhere in Aotearoa. They don't know he's calling and he doesn't know who will answer the phone. Will it be a disaster or a lovely, fun chat? You'll have to listen to find out.

In today's episode, from September, parents of citizens and residents will be able to get a five-year visa allowing them to come and go, with an option to extend for a further five, the National Guard has begun deploying in Los Angeles on the orders of President Donald Trump in a bid to quell clashes with ICE agents that've been ongoing since Friday, the National Business Review has released its 2025 rich list, painting a picture of Aotearoa's rich and powerful, former All Blacks wing great Stu Wilson has died at the age of 70. Wilson was regarded as one of the world's finest attacking players during his hey-day with the All Blacks in the early 1980s, and we cross the Tasman to get the latest from Kerry-Anne Walsh.

The National Business Review has released its 2025 rich list, painting a picture of Aotearoa's rich and powerful. NBR co-editor Hamish McNicol spoke to Corin Dann.

Weaving comedy and truth through her new collection of short stories, award-winning writer and journalist Michelle Duff's new novel Surplus Women explores power and patriarchy through women set in past, present and future Aotearoa.

Cherida Fraser, Wellington co-ordinator for the Aotearoa New Zealand sex workers collective spoke to Lisa Owen about how the Prime Minister has ordered a review of vetting processes for parliamentary staff after his Deputy chief press secretary Michael Forbes quit following allegations he recorded intimate audio of sessions with sex workers and was in possession of intrusive photos of women. There were dozens of photos and footage on the former staffer's phone and some appear to have been recorded in public places and shot through windows at night.

Send us a textA three-minute protest staged in 1979 echoes across the decades as a potent indictment of systemic racism and a lens through which to re-examine Aotearoa's national identity.
