A Middle East expert isn't jumping to conclusions, despite Israel's Prime Minister comparing an alleged plane hijack attempt to 9/11. The captain of the Israel-bound flight - Smit Machchhar - was stabbed but opened the cockpit door, letting in others who subdued the pilot accused of the attack, and landed the plane. Machchhar is Indian, but trained in Dunedin in the late 2000s. Gordon Robison says we still don't know a motive. "There are a lot of details about this incident - that at this point, we either don't know at all, or which are essentially hearsay." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Crawley's back, Producer Harry's right where he always is (in the corner of the studio, doing what he's told) and, with the extra hour of sunlight, things were flying. We trialled a new segment, now dubbed Singles in Your Areas. Producer Harry spun three little ripper 7-inches from TeeVee Reparimann, Midnight Snaxxx and Cuticles. Professor Emeritus Peter Lineham phoned in to talk about religion in France, in light of the Pope's recent visit. And Lou popped in for a mini rock 'n' roll book report on the Ween Zine, put together by Dunedin's foremost design and zine fella, Ash McFarlane. Ngā mihi to The Beer Spot.

Hollow Bones by Jodi Picoult. This is Jodi doing what she does best. It's the story of Molly Fitzgerald and her husband Jesse (he was a character in Jodi's much loved book My Sister's Keeper and there is a reference to that previous work in here, although it wouldn't matter if you haven't read the previous book - it's just a nice continuation for anyone who did). Molly's mother died in the Twin Towers in the 9/11 attacks and she's made her career working in emergency response. But things aren't quite what they seem and a serious incident sparks the discovery that everything that Molly and Jesse had thought to be true was in fact a lie. That Woman by Silvia Cartwright. She is of course a notable New Zealander - she was our first female High Court Judge and our second female Governor General. She chaired the Cartwright Commission in a major enquiry at National Women's Hospital, and was a judge of war crimes in Cambodia, along with many other achievements throughout her long career. This is her revealing story from a difficult childhood in Dunedin, to blazing a trail, told with humour and empathy and warmth. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As wildlife flourishes in a fenced Otago ecosanctuary, mahi is ramping up to protect the birds flying the coop. In July, Predator Free Dunedin received $3.9 million over three years from the Department of Conservation to boost its predator elimination work. That funding means they'll soon be targeting mustelids, rats, rabbits and feral cats lurking around the Orokonui Ecosanctuary. Tess Brunton reports.

Daniel Basubas thought New Zealand would feel very different from the sprawling Southern California communities where he grew up. Instead, he found many of the same development patterns and many of the same arguments over parking, bike lanes, and who streets are for. In Dunedin, he now helps lead the Urbanerds Ōtepoti Dunedin, a Strong Towns Local Conversation that meets at the local pub. The group gives people a low-pressure way to talk through those issues, meet others who care about the city, and get more comfortable participating in local decisions, whether that means commenting on a council plan or speaking at a public meeting.

A woman who scammed a man out of more than half a million dollars was posing as a police recruit in Australia. She made promises to cross the Tasman and move to Dunedin to be with the man, when in reality the scammer was unemployed and living rent-free in Auckland with her mother. Court documents released to RNZ reveal the scale of the romance ruse that strung along the man for 18 years, even as he battled lung cancer. Reporter Finn Blackwell spoke to Lisa Owen.

An emergency department doctor is urging the University of Otago and Police to get tough after a party of 400 people in the city's quarter left one person with serious injuries and others having to be treated for alcohol and drug-related harm. The party comes less than a week after a Coroner warned students about excessive alcohol consumption following the death of a 20 year old who choked on his own vomit at a Dunedin party in 2023. Anastasia Hedge reports.

A search gets underway today in the hope of solving the mystery of a plane that went missing nearly half a century ago, with seven people on board. The aircraft vanished in 1978 during a chartered scenic flight from Dunedin through Queenstown, Milford Sound and Preservation Inlet. Senior Sergeant Mark Kirkwood, the officer in charge of the search operation spoke to John Campbell.

Dame Silvia Cartwright has been a trailblazer for women in the fields of law and justice, and she's detailed her life story in a new memoir. She was one of two women studying law at Otago University in the 1960s, and went on to become New Zealand's first female High Court judge and the second woman to hold the role of Governor-General at a time when the sector was overly male. She's been on an extraordinary professional journey, which she's detailed in her new memoir That Woman. "I do remember reading, or at least glancing at a book about Roman law when I was about 14 - but I think it was a process of elimination. In those days , if a woman studied at university, the options were fairly limited to teaching, nursing, or - being Dunedin - medicine."

Well, what do you do if you're Ed Sheeran today? His tour is in turmoil. All four support acts have pulled out in solidarity with Macklemore over the Palestine support stuff. He's been slammed in newspaper columns for not standing up for Macklemore, and now his mural in Dunedin has been defaced. So, what do you do? You know what you do? You carry on. You play the gigs anyway - because probably Ed Sheeran doesn't need support acts, just like Lady Gaga doesn't need support acts. He will fill the stadium anyway because there is a good proportion of his audience, if not the majority of his audience, who are mums and their kids out to listen to some pop hits sung by Ed Sheeran himself who actually don't care about politics. And that actually is his intention. At least at the moment, things are moving pretty fast, but right now he intends to continue his tour. Now, I'm not particularly a fan of Ed Sheeran's, but I feel sorry for him in this. He has become the whipping boy in a spat between two other people. On one side, you've got Robert Kraft, the Jewish owner of the Gillette Stadium, that has banned Macklemore from performing on account of the fact that Macklemore's been speaking out against Israel over Gaza, and 12 years ago he wore a mask on stage that very clearly made fun of Hasidic Jews, even if he said he didn't realise it at the time. On the other side is Ed's support act, Macklemore, who wants to - and should be able to - speak out in support of Gaza. But "should be able to" also comes with the consequences of doing that. And that is that Macklemore cannot be surprised that people with power who support the state of Israel will not like what he is saying and that, especially in these days of concerns about the safety of Jewish people in crowds in Western countries, he was eventually probably going to run into some opposition. Now, I'm not going to tell you whose side you should be on because, frankly, you're probably going to choose based on how you feel about the Gaza situation, aren't you? This is not a debate where people change their minds very easily. And so, I think blaming Ed Sheeran for staying out of the public debate, which is one that people don't change their minds on very easily, is unfair when there are a lot of people who are also choosing to stay out of this public debate.

Dunedin's landmark Ed Sheeran mural was defaced with the words 'Free Palestine' and splashes of red paint as the UK singer faces growing backlash. Rapper Macklemore was removed from Sheeran's US tour for making pro-Palestinian remarks on stage, and it's inspired the other openers to quit the tour - as well as plenty of criticism directed at the singer. The Country's Jamie Mackay weighed in on the situation. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dunedin's Pukekura/Taiaroa Head National Park is home to the Southern Hemisphere's only mainland colony of Northern Royal Albatross - or toroa. Right now, last season's chicks are preparing to leave their nests and a new lot of breeding adult birds will soon make landfall. But with the H5N1 Bird flu virus now wreaking havoc in Australia, there are concerns for this coming breeding season. Claire Concannon, host of RNZ's science podcast - Our Changing World - visited the Otago Peninsula, to find out how they're preparing.

About 1300 people took the opportunity to explore the new Dunedin Hospital outpatient building as part of a free community open day on Saturday. Otago Southland reporter Tess Brunton was there.

Chef Clayton Parrett has spent more than two decades in kitchens, but he still considers himself a student. Growing up in rural South Louisiana, Clayton's earliest education came from the land. Hunting, fishing, livestock, agriculture and eventually working around a slaughterhouse taught him where food came from long before he understood that cooking would become his life. That path eventually took him offshore, cooking on drilling operations in the Gulf for weeks at a time. The isolation and relentless routine taught him patience, discipline and responsibility, lessons that would follow him through restaurants, universities, convention centers and hotels before ultimately bringing him to the historic Fenway Hotel in Dunedin, Florida. But Clayton says one of the biggest turning points in his career came when he learned something entirely different: How to fail. Accepting failure gave him permission to experiment, take chances and become more curious about food. It also helped shape a philosophy he still carries today. Clayton doesn't particularly believe in mastery. There are too many cultures, ingredients, techniques and traditions he hasn't experienced yet. "I prefer to say I'm a student for life." That curiosity is now helping drive the culinary direction at Fenway, where Clayton and his team are exploring global beef, ingredient provenance and the kind of luxury dining experience capable of competing on a much larger stage. One of their long-term ambitions is earning consideration among the world's leading steakhouses. And Clayton brought that same curiosity into the Walk-In Talk studio. Using wild boar tenderloin from studio partner Shogun Farms, Clayton created a dish rooted deeply in memories of Louisiana, incorporating field peas, persimmon, satsuma, sumac and produce from Cahaba Club. It's a plate built around the landscape and flavors that helped shape him as a chef. He followed it with an entirely different exploration: an antelope croquette with smoked Gouda and three vibrant sauces, combining classical French technique with an ingredient many diners rarely encounter. And then came the beef. Japanese A5 Wagyu rated BMS 12, representing the level of sourcing, education and product knowledge Clayton and his team are working to bring to Fenway. What's Hot Tampa Bay Leah Wilson of Creative Loafing Tampa Bay also returns to the studio for her recurring What's Hot Tampa Bay segment, and this time the conversation is all about Best of the Bay. Leah breaks down how the long-running Tampa Bay competition works, from public nominations and voting to the annual Best of the Bay celebration, and why the recognition means so much to the restaurants, chefs, businesses and personalities selected by the community. There's an added connection this year: Chef Clayton Parrett and Fenway are participating in the Best of the Bay celebration, putting Clayton directly into one of the biggest hospitality and culture events on Creative Loafing Tampa Bay's calendar. It makes for an episode that moves naturally between where a chef comes from, what keeps him learning, the food he is building today and the Tampa Bay community he is now helping shape. Chef Clayton Parrett Fenway Hotel | Dunedin, Florida Featuring Leah Wilson Creative Loafing Tampa Bay | What's Hot Tampa Bay Featuring ingredients from Walk-In Talk Media studio partners Shogun Farms and Cahaba Club. A Walk-In Talk Media production. From the industry. For the industry.     Key Takeaways His culinary education began with the land. Growing up in South Louisiana gave Clayton an early understanding of animals, agriculture, seasonality and the relationship between food and community. Work ethic became survival early. He left home young, lived with friends, finished school and worked long hours because quitting was never really part of the plan. Offshore cooking changed him. Spending weeks at a time on Gulf drilling operations taught him patience, routine, responsibility and how to function when there is nowhere else to go. Learning to fail changed his relationship with food. Clayton says his real passion developed once he understood that failure was acceptable as long as he kept trying. He does not believe the learning ever ends. Rather than chasing the idea of mastery, Clayton sees himself as a lifelong student of ingredients, cultures, techniques and people. Food is education. To Clayton, an ingredient is never just something to cook. It is an opportunity to understand geography, biology, agriculture, culture and technique. Community remains central. Whether talking about Louisiana, hurricanes, family or his kitchen team, Clayton repeatedly comes back to the idea that people survive and grow together. Leadership means giving knowledge away. He wants the cooks who work with him to leave knowing as much as he can possibly teach them. The Fenway's beef program is becoming increasingly ambitious. Clayton is studying breeds, origins, grading systems and global sourcing while building a team capable of understanding luxury beef at a deeper level. Recognition is a goal, but not the purpose. The dream of landing among the world's top steakhouses matters because of what it would say about the work of his team, not because Clayton is chasing a title for himself.
