The winding and interconnected story of Mark Michel, Musto jackets, Soulhub, Drake Passage, Antartica, and icebergs.Carmen Rendell reminisces on the stories shared across continents and, now over a decade ago. Some stories should be shared further, and this is one of them. Not just because it highlights the change in our climate, or the remarkable work of Mark and the team in Antartica recording the sounds and images of the icebergs, but because of how the story is told by Mark, and how their experience and his talent transcends the air waves.I wonder at what point we became so estranged from our relationship with this Earth.You're instantly transported to Australis, their vessel, and on the boat with Mark and the team. Antarctica is a place not meant for humankind. colourful and often tragic history reflects this. It is not that we are unwelcome here, more that we are not, perhaps, natural.In simple terms, it a beautiful tale, including how Carmen and Mark connected across the oceans, and still having yet to meet, brings you on board to relive how these Lincoln, Yoko and Ernest icebergs and their micro-environments end up projected onto the Auckland Museum.

Chris Parker is an award winning comedian, actor, writer, show-runner and podcaster. This past year Chris hosted the New Zealand Comedy Festival Gala, and toured his latest show, Give Me One Good Reason Why I Shouldn't Throw My Phone Off This Bridge, to full houses throughout Australia and New Zealand. He also made his prime-time Australian TV debut on Thank God You're Here (where he won the episode) and released the highly anticipated second season of Double Parked. Chris Parker is most commonly known for his funny Instagram and TikTok videos which built him a huge social media audience over the last few years. His legendary win on the hit New Zealand TV show Celebrity Treasure Island made history! His 2018 New Zealand International Comedy Festival show Camp Binch, was awarded the prestigious Fred Award for Best Show in the Festival and went on to play to 5-star reviews and sell-out crowds at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Fun fact, the felt hat he made during the 2020 nationwide lockdown was acquired by and is on display at The Auckland Museum and Te Papa the National Museum of New Zealand. Kinda dramatic – don't you agree? Chris is a theatre graduate from the renowned drama school Toi Whakaari O Aotearoa and he has appeared in and written multiple theatre shows across New Zealand, most notably Hudson and Halls Live! Where Chris played one-half of the famous gay cooking duo, David Halls and won best actor at the 2017 Wellington Theatre Awards. Chris has appeared in feature films such as Baby Done, The Breaker Upperers and Nude Tuesday and has two feature films of his own currently in development. As a comedian and writer Chris is a regular face on New Zealand television appearing on 7 Days, Have You Been Paying Attention NZ, Jono and Ben, Funny Girls, Season 3 of Taskmaster New Zealand and the sitcom Golden Boy. Chris also co-hosts the podcast The Male Gays with fellow comedian Eli Matthewson, which has an upcoming digital video series in production. Chris was listed as The Herald's top 5 Entertainment Heroes of 2020 and in 2021, was nominated for Television Personality of the Year. In 2022, Chris was the recipient of the inaugural Topp Prize awarded by the New Zealand Comedy Trust for Aotearoa's most generous and gifted comedian. That same year released the comedy/documentary special Chris Parker: Back To School, about all boy schools in Christchurch. Chris embarked on an Australian and New Zealand national tour of his show Gentle Man to sold-out crowds and 5-star reviews and his debut novel Here for a Good Time was released through Allen & Unwin. In 2023, Chris toured his new show, Lots of Love, Chris Parker, to sold-out audiences in Australia and New Zealand. Chris's new comedy series, Double Parked, premiered in June and was created and written with Alice Snedden. He was the show runner and writer for the narrative comedy series Double Parked and is currently touring his live stand up (Stop Being So Dramatic) shows across New Zealand and Australia. Stop Being So Dramatic are four words the self-proclaimed People's Princess of Aotearoa Chris Parker has heard his whole life. Now those words also happen to be the name of his show touring Australia and New Zealand in 2025. At the culturally relevant age of 34, Chris is ready to address the drama queen allegations head-on. Stop Being So Dramatic promises to be an hour of high-intensity, feverishly paced and dizzyingly expressive comedy, it's a one-man variety spectacle, chill, stand-up hour of laughs. That doesn't sound dramatic at all – does it? Chris admits, there is some merit to the accusations, such as crying in every speech he's ever delivered publicly, and there may have been a situation this year where he slept on his neck weirdly resulting in a neck brace. Still, Chris is sure he's just a chilled guy, down to Earth and he's ready to prove it to you in Stop Being So Dramatic. We chat about his evolving voice, performing on a broken foot (multiple times), being an improv king and his 10 hour improv day, being the felting guy, his upcoming tour, being a show runner and leadership, thriving on celebrity treasure island plus plenty more!

Margi Mellsop, CEO of the Middlemore Foundation, recently joined Mark Longbottom on the Purposely Podcast to talk about her career and the charity she now directs. From her early days founding the International Comedy Festival in New Zealand to leading marketing efforts for the Auckland Museum and World Vision, Margi's journey shows her ability to adapt and contribute in different fields. In the podcast, Margi explained the mission of the Middlemore Foundation, which works to improve healthcare and wellbeing for the people of South Auckland both inside the hospital and outside in the community. The foundation provides essential resources and runs initiatives to help the community. Under Margi's leadership, the foundation has grown its reach and made a real difference in people's lives. Margi talked about the importance of working with local leaders, celebrities and organisations to meet the foundation's goals. By partnering with others, the foundation can address the specific challenges faced by South Auckland communities. “Partnerships are key to sustainable success and meaningful engagement,” she said. Margi's career has been varied. She started out by founding the International Comedy Festival in New Zealand, an event that brought entertainment to many and gave her valuable experience in event management and fundraising. These skills have been useful in her later roles. After her time with the Comedy Festival, Margi moved on to the Auckland Museum. There, she led marketing campaigns to increase visitor numbers and membership and support the museum's work in preserving and sharing New Zealand's history and culture. Her efforts brought people together and secured funding for important initiatives. She then joined International Development charity World Vision playing a key role marketing their New Zealand fundraising and campaigning efforts. For the future, Margi aims to further raise the profile of the Middlemore Foundation and expand its impact. She discussed the need for sustainable fundraising approaches to ensure the foundation's continued success. Balancing work with her personal life is also important to her. Outside of her professional role, Margi values spending time with her family, enjoys sailing, and supports her son's equestrian interests. She believes that having a balance between work and personal life is essential. Margi'S career shows how skills and experiences from different areas can come together to help others.

The arrival of photography to New Zealand in 1848 was more about business than art. A cumbersome kit meant photographers needed carriages or horses to lug their gear across unsealed roads to sell their wares. These early images provide a valuable insight to the country's colonial era, with stunning portraits and landscapes now being presented in a new book entitled A Different Light: First Photographs of Aotearoa. Susie is joined by Shaun Higgins who, along with fellow book editor Catherine Hammond, has pulled together the extraordinary and extensive photographic collections of three major research libraries - Auckland Museum, Hocken Collections, and Alexander Turnbull Library. The book is also being celebrated with a travelling exhibition.
Today on the panel, Emile Donovan and panellists Kathryn Graham and Allan Blackman discuss Auckland Museum's decision to pass on a major exhibition out of fear of offending visitors and the disturbing behaviour that a charity giveaway resulted in.
A gesture for peace has backfired badly for the Auckland War Memorial Museum. They've apologised today after lighting the museum in Israeli colours last night, a move that sparked protests outside the building last night. Palestinian supporters say the museum was misinformed, while the Jewish Council is disappointed by the museum's backdown. Finn Blackwell has more.
The Jewish Council says events around Auckland Museum are 'distressing'. The Museum lit up with the colours of the Israeli flag last night, intending to express hope for peace. It's since apologised for offence caused, after a Pro-Palestinian protest outside the building. Council spokesperson Juliet Moses says the apology feels like a betrayal. "My community is feeling very much in pain, very much in shock- for them to make this lovely statement of solidarity and then to apologise really does just compound that pain." It's understood Jewish schools and synagogues that closed fearing protests, have re-opened. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Glow-in-the-dark fungi, parasitic orchids, slime moulds that hunt the forest floor for prey - it's a lost world hiding in plain sight. According to ecologist Robert Vennell our forests are overflowing with peculiar organisms. Specimens responsible responsible for providing us with fire, food, and medicine - they have had an outsized impact on human history and lives, yet remain, largely, in obscurity.

A marine scientist is astounded at the government's striking lack of ambition to protect the Hauraki Gulf. The latest State of the Gulf Report, being released today, shows the ecosystem is facing multiple threats such as overfishing, excessive sediment and nutrient runoff, and catastrophic climate changes. That means big fish, such as Snapper, are skinnier; seabirds are starving; mussels are drowning in mud; and tropical sea urchins are moving into the area. Auckland Museum head of natural sciences Dr Tom Trnksi spoke to Corin Dann.

""study for a stranding in 1861 (kia tūpato/beware)" uses the recording as the basis of a composition that explores the phenomenon of seismic shooting for oil exploration, and the link to both whale beaching (via sonic disorientation of finely-tuned Cetacean communicative channels) and Anthropogenic Climate Change. In the process, the piece draws on longer histories of the mediation of the oceanic environment by anthropogenic sound, a cultural development itself arguably indebted to the extraordinary communicative and navigational abilities of Cetaceans and other non-human creatures at home within the different ecology of this medium/media, inhabiting a sphere (sense of planet) that sees them use the ocean like a telephone or a shortwave radio, a non-human cultural practice that pre-dates the European experimental investigation of radio waves, sonar, radar, etc, by millions of years. "In addition to the use of this sound, which can be heard as a dull, monotonous distant thud throughout the piece, source material for "study for a stranding in 1861 (kia tūpato/beware)" includes ocean field recordings made at Taroona and Verona Sands on the coast of lutruwita/Tasmania, a region that has seen several unprecedented mass whale strandings in recent years, the most recent of which, resulting in the deaths of over 200 pilot whales, occurring while the piece was being composed. Instrumentation includes accordion and zither recordings that have been harnessed to provide a range of textures and tones, partially in the service of mimicking polar natural Geophonic phenomena such as sea ice and aurora "natural radio" sounds, as well as Anthropophonic/Anglo-Western cultural sounds such as the creaking hulls of 19th century ships. Several recordings made at the offices of TMR (Tasmanian Maritime Radio), the state's official Coast Radio Service, whose services routinely include providing a listening watch on VHF and HF distress and calling channels, pay homage to the state's pioneering (1911–1914) Antarctic radio link, established when Radio was still a new technology. Other source sounds from the artist's extensive physical record library of the mediated history of anthropogenic ocean sounds, and related cultural material, include a recording of a Sofar (Sound fixing and Ranging) bomb and other demonstrations of undersea communications audio from the 1968 album "Sound in the Sea" produced by the Electro Marine Sciences Division of Marine resources, and the run-out grooves of a 78rpm recording of the song "Asleep in the deep" recorded in 1913 by Wilfred Glenn and the Victor Orchestra. "This last record's refrain "many great hearts are asleep in the deep, so beware, beware..." is the key to the title of the piece, which is a reference to a report of the stranding of a massive white sperm whale, washed up on the black sands of Whatipu, a remote beach on the west coast of the Auckland Region in the North Island of New Zealand in 1861. Local Māori, who in their role as kaitiaki (guardians of the land, sea and sky), had arrived to greet the whale, reported that on the second night of their stay, the whale gave an enormous groan, then spoke to them. The creature said, “Kia tūpato” ("beware"). These indigenous guardians, believing the giant, ancient, battle scarred whale, that had over 20 harpoons embedded in its flesh, had prophesied the end of the world, and that death and destruction were coming, immediately put a rāhui (a form of tapu) on its carcass, but this wasn't respected by a group from Auckland Museum, who arrived to remove its gigantic teeth and 10 of the harpoons, mutilating the carcass in the process. Some sources say this ancient sperm whale's beaching on an Auckland shore may have been the last resting place of the whale that earlier inspired Melville to write 'Moby-Dick; or, The Whale' (1851), a story that remains as tantalising as it is potentially fanciful. What perhaps remains more pertinent, on the other hand, are the whale's apocalyptic predictions, that continue their relevance in a world where the rich nations of the West are still intent on mining fossil fuels for profit, endangering not only themselves but the less culpable, including indigenous cultures and the nonhuman, and indeed all life on earth."

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 schedule, he also found time to write and release a book.

A counter-protest supporting democracy is planned to go head-to-head with a rally led by Brian Tamaki's Freedoms & Rights Coalition in Auckland this weekend. Counter protest organiser Mark Graham said it was a spur of the moment decision to show up and "save the nation's democracy". "The coalition and Brian Tamaki are not calling for freedom and rights, they want things to be done the way they want. That's just selfish. "He is throwing a tantrum because he is not getting what he wants. This is not democratic." Graham said their group was building in numbers since last night's decision to head to Auckland Domain on Saturday. "It is an important issue for us. We do not like what the coalition is doing, it is just not right. "We hope more people will show up to save our nation's democracy." Police have confirmed they are in talks with organisers of this weekend's anti-Government protest in and around Auckland Domain, which organisers threaten will be "impactive". A police spokesperson said they were discussing potential routes and plans with the group. "Police recognise the lawful right to protest. We also recognise the rights of the public to go about their lawful business. "We will monitor and respond to the situation accordingly to ensure public safety and to make sure any disruption to the public is kept to a minimum." A call has been made on social media for people who oppose the anti-government sentiments to gather as a counter-protest, with some saying they would block motorway entrances to prevent any attempt by demonstrators to disrupt traffic. The rights coalition stormed the Southern Motorway last month. The group, led by Destiny Church's Brian Tamaki, are calling Saturday morning's protest a "Kiwi Patriots Day and March". The group revealed it was also planning a major demonstration at Parliament grounds in a few weeks Details of this weekend's march route have not yet been shared with the public. It has said it would not be the same as the previous protest but would be "impactive". Newmarket Business Association chief executive Mark Knoff-Thomas said it hoped the protesters would respect the business owners' right to trade. "The last one caused major disruptions to our trade. We saw an immediate impact as Newmarket was cut off from the public so shoppers could not come in. "Saturday's our busiest day and in these times we need all the business we can get." Bishop Brian Tamaki led group plans to host a 'Kiwi Patriots Day and March' at Auckland Domain on Saturday morning. Photo / Brett Phibbs Auckland Council says it has concerns about potential health risks posed by the event and protestors desecrating consecrated ground around the area of the Cenotaph and Court of Honour. Director of customer and community services Dr Claudia Wyss said the proposed activity could result in "damage to the Domain, interruption of public enjoyment, prevent access to the Auckland Museum, and disrupt scheduled sporting activities". And given the high level of Covid-19 in the community, there were health risks. "It is important to note that the proposed activities require prior approval from the council, and that an application for the relevant event permit and other associated trading permits has not yet been received. "Events and activities held in a public place without prior approval can result in enforcement action." The council had written to the organisers making their position clear, Wyss said. "We are in touch with the police and will support them in any action they deem necessary on the day to prevent a breach of the law or damage to public property." The group claims the upcoming march will be an "opportunity to unite freedom fighters across the North Island and rally the public for the coming events ahead". A similar demonstration is also planned for Christchurch the following weekend. Police yesterday said they were still making inquiries about the last month's protest, and no charges had been laid. - Akula Sharma, NZ HeraldSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Then we'll move local to a survey called ‘OceansIQ', the results of which will create a ‘best practice' standard of ocean literacy teaching, and ultimately create an ocean literacy portal for marine education in Victoria. • And we speak with Dr. Marianne Nyegaard, Research Associate with the Auckland Museum in New Zealand, about her exciting research on Mola, the giant ocean sunfish, and the mysteries she is uncovering about the heaviest bony fish on the planet.
In this Voices podcast, botanist and associate curator at the Auckland Museum, Yumiko Baba, shares her long-standing love for a particular native tree. Produced and presented by Kadambari Raghukumar.
