On NZ's infamous Crate Day, a routine sober-driver night flips fast. Broadcaster/funeral celebrant Melanie Kerr recounts how a friendly lift request turned into a mongrel mob confrontation, a king-hit that knocked her partner unconscious, and a street-side triage while waiting for police clearance. We get the wild backstory (a stolen Uber, a cop's party, and a shirt-off metamorphosis), the sound of a skull on bitumen, and the aftermath: hospitals, court calls, and the eerie coincidence of a memorial post for another victim tied to the same offender. Mel also shares a later run-in at a rugby club—defusing tension with a hug… and a Justin Bieber gag. Heavy yarn, big heart, and a masterclass in staying human when it gets feral.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

TV/radio fave Melanie Kerr returns with a raw origin story: growing up Pākehā on the Māori side of the 1860s confiscation line in Ruatoki/Tāneatua (Tūhoe country). We unpack what that line actually was, how colors mapped to gangs (Mongrel Mob red, Black Power blue), why the primary school uniforms ended up road-worker orange, and what it felt like to be a blonde farm kid in a staunch community. Mel leaves home at 14, heads to WA's outback (cattle stations, gold mines), then lands in Dunedin—a world of bagpipes, churches, and culture whiplash. Plus: the anatomy of Crate Day and a very Kiwi idea for “upgrading” it with an Aussie pool challenge… right before it all goes sideways. Proper history, proper laughs, proper true yarn.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

¿Puede nuestra infancia predecir cómo será nuestra salud, riqueza y bienestar cuando seamos adultos? En este episodio de AMADAG TV / La Teoría de la Mente, exploramos uno de los estudios científicos más fascinantes y reveladores de las últimas décadas: el Estudio Longitudinal de Dunedin. Este estudio pionero ha seguido la vida de más de mil personas nacidas en 1972 en Dunedin, Nueva Zelanda, recopilando una cantidad asombrosa de datos sobre su salud física, bienestar mental y trayectoria vital desde la infancia hasta la adultez madura. Lo más impresionante es su extraordinaria tasa de retención, algo prácticamente inédito en la investigación longitudinal. Pero, ¿qué ha descubierto exactamente este estudio? ¿Por qué es tan relevante para entender nuestro futuro? Entre los hallazgos más impactantes está la conexión directa entre características tempranas —como el autocontrol, la personalidad y los comportamientos sociales— con resultados concretos en la vida adulta, como la salud física, el éxito profesional y la estabilidad emocional. Además, uno de los aspectos más sorprendentes es cómo ciertos rasgos visibles como la apariencia juvenil podrían estar relacionados con un envejecimiento biológico más lento. Es decir, verte joven podría significar realmente envejecer más despacio, lo cual abre un abanico de implicaciones fascinantes en la medicina, la psicología y el bienestar. En este episodio, te llevamos a través de los datos más relevantes y qué pueden significar para ti, tu desarrollo personal y tu salud mental. También reflexionamos sobre cómo la comprensión temprana de estos factores puede ayudarte a tomar decisiones más conscientes sobre tu estilo de vida, crianza o desarrollo emocional. Este contenido es especialmente útil si te interesa: La psicología del desarrollo La salud mental a largo plazo Cómo influye la infancia en la adultez Estudios científicos aplicados a la vida real La conexión entre cuerpo, mente y entorno social Este episodio no solo ofrece información, sino que puede cambiar tu forma de ver el futuro y lo que haces hoy para influir en él.

Ambassador Melanie Kerr joins us fresh from Dunedin's K9MD lab, where specially trained dogs are being used in research to detect cancer via urine samples. We swap the “fluffy mic” mix-up story for a deep dive on how scent detection works, why negative results matter as much as positives, and what a real research session looks like (controlled, peer-reviewed, and nothing like a pooch sniffing your bits). We talk early detection, blokes avoiding checkups, and why this world-first program could one day sit alongside standard bloods—simple, non-invasive, life-saving. Plus: foster families, doggy buses, Labrador legend “Hogan,” and a shout to the mates who couldn't make the trip. Raw, hopeful, and genuinely inspiring.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast.

A fresh blueprint has been developed to boost Dunedin's future. Business South's new targets include delivering more than 15 thousand high-value jobs by 2034, welcoming 150 new businesses a year by 2029, and growing Māori-owned businesses by 129% in four years. CEO Mike Collins says the goals may be stretched, but are going to be remarkable, with many motivated people backing the growth. He told Mike Hosking they're firing up some wraparound support services that would identify the gaps in a business' practices and match them up to what they need.

While the earthquake-prone building system overhaul has been welcomed by many in the North Island, building owners in Dunedin are facing a different prospect. Dunedin Property Developer Russell Lund spoke to Corin Dann.

The Building and Construction Minister says new earthquake building rules are more nuanced. Changes to the rules will remove Auckland, Northland, and the Chatham Islands from the regime. Coastal Otago, including Dunedin, will be classified as a medium seismic hazard area, and will remain within the earthquake-prone building system Building Minister Chris Penk says the rules are ultimately designed to protect life. He told Mike Hosking under the current system some owners were unable to afford the upgrades. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After more than 140 years of making traditionally-crafted leather footware, the McKinlay family is looking for someone else to step into their hard-wearing shoes. The Dunedin-based business produces between 130 to 160 pairs each day, everything from roman sandals for the playground, to boots for the battlefield for Peter Jackson's film The Hobbit. Its fifth generation owners David and Graeme have put up a for sale sign and they're prepared to search high and low for the right fit to take over the family legacy. Graeme McKinlay spoke to Lisa Owen.

In New Zealand, bowel cancer is responsible for the second highest number of cancer deaths, and one in ten people diagnosed are under the age of 50. Globally, what was once seen as a disease of old age is now affecting an increasing proportion of the younger population. Research shows that our gut health has a lot to do with prevention and managing risk. Associate Professor of Surgery at Imperial College London, James Kinross, is a colorectal surgeon, scientist and best-selling author. His book Dark Matter explains in practical terms what you can do to look after your microbiome - the ecosystem of micro-organisms living inside you - and the key to a healthy immune system. Dr Kinross will be in New Zealand next month as a guest speaker at the 2025 New Zealand Society for Oncology Conference in Dunedin. He speaks to Mihingarangi Forbes ahead of his trip about our 'internal climate crisis', the use of faecal transplants and why exposure to microbes is necessary for our survival.

Dunedin uni students who come into conflict with their landlords over the filthy state of their flats, or whose bonds are withheld for no apparent reason, have said the Tenancy Tribunal is not fit for purpose. Among them is second year University of Otago student Zoe Eckhoff, who recently won a Tenancy Tribunal case after finding her newly-leased flat in a shocking state. However, she said she was only able able to do this because she had the support of her parents and was able to hire a lawyer. Now the University's Vice Chancellor, Grant Robertson, is among those calling for change. Bella Craig reports.

Tess talks about the planned new gold mine being fast tracked in Otago, students struggling with bad flats, water costs blames for rates rise in Waitaki and the winners of the Big Sing.

Annual secondary school choral competition The Big Sing wrapped up in Dunedin over the weekend, with Auckland schools taking out all six Gold awards. Westlake Boys choir director David Squire spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

In today's episode, the cost of living holds its place as the top issue for New Zealanders in the latest Ipsos Issues Monitor; The aviation industry says support from the government is long overdue and will help some struggling regional airlines but warns it won't solve everything; DOC's launching a huge campaign to increase awareness about the fragility of nature and help drum up some funds for its work; Annual secondary school choral competition The Big Sing wrapped up in Dunedin over the weekend, with Auckland schools taking out all six Gold awards; Kerry-Anne Walsh has the latest from Australia.

The Big Sing Finale co-ordinator is Rosemary Tarbotton - she updates Kathryn Ryan just hours before the competition starts. 

Students at the University of Otago say with the lack of jobs in the city, climbing rent prices and cost of power, they're struggling to make ends meet. The situation has got so bad, some are even leaving their flats altogether to move into vans and cars to sleep. The student's association has said a recent survey shows some students are resorting to sleeping rough. Bella Craig reports.

A thousand choir singers are converging on Dunedin as the Big Sing competition reaches its crescendo. More than 200 secondary school choirs pitched for a position in the Big Sing Finale with the top 24 performing for gold, silver and bronze awards from tomorrow until Saturday's gala concert. An Otago choir hasn't made Finale for more than five years, so it set a special tone for the host city when Columba College made the cut. Tess Brunton reports.

This week we are joined by Dr.  Olivier Jutel, a lecturer in the Department of Media, Film & Communication at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. His scholarly focus is in communication studies and media theory, particularly around populism, digital media, political economy, and critical theory. Travis and Julian chat with Olivier about his iconoclastic take on the paradigms that have dominated U.S. technology and communications policy since 2016. Olivier argues that fear of foreign influence has been leveraged by a coalition of Silicon Valley firms, national‑security agencies and allied think‑tanks to deflect structural reform of platforms. Drawing on Cold‑War communication theory, this coalition frames all online conflict as “information warfare,” treating citizens as passive targets for behavioral manipulation while ignoring deeper political‑economic drivers of democratic decay. Jutel retraces the military origins of mass‑communication research, critiques Shoshana Zuboff's “surveillance capitalism” thesis, and dissects the role of high‑profile disinfo professionals whose methods, he contends, don't question the core assumptions of tech industry platforms and national‑security priorities. Olivier concludes that while this disinformation framework is past its heyday, its war‑like view of social life persists, empowering actors such as Palantir while sidelining antitrust and public‑interest remedies. The solution? A shift toward true democratic governance of digital infrastructure.
