In January 2020, the 58-meter yacht once known as Lady Ghislaine—the same vessel on which Robert Maxwell died mysteriously in 1991—was sighted in New Zealand, sparking a wave of intrigue and speculation. Now renamed Dancing Hare, the yacht docked at Akaroa before moving south to Dunedin's Victoria Wharf, its arrival prompting widespread coverage due to its grim legacy. Built in 1986 and named after Ghislaine Maxwell, the vessel symbolized the wealth and decadence of her father's media empire. Its reappearance decades later, in the waters of New Zealand, revived interest in the Maxwell family's dark history and the unanswered questions surrounding Robert Maxwell's death, as well as Ghislaine's later involvement in Jeffrey Epstein's operations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

INTERVIEW: Ella Pollett on new track 'Losing My Mind' by Jon Bakos on Radio One 91FM Dunedin
There's a form of economic nimbyism that's going on in this country. And if we want to get ahead, everyone knows there must be trade-offs. No economic miracle. New business or growth opportunity comes without a cost. Whether its intensive agriculture on the environment or water to run the data centres that power your smart phones. Every success costs you something. The trick is to be reasonable and take risks then mitigate them or just be willing to wear the costs. The problem we have here is not a lack of opportunities. Not even, in many cases, investment. I was in Otago just recently. Beautiful place. Stunning. There's a gold mine permit been issued. Sam Neil's dead against the project, as are many others. There's opposition and legal challenges etc etc. Fair enough. He has a house around there and is worried about trucks on the road etc. But it's also an area that would be serviced by this brand-new hospital Dunedin's getting. Half the towns and buildings in Otago wouldn't be there to be begin were it not for gold mining. The permit's been issued and the rest is set for the fast track. Wānaka said no to a McDonald's, in part due to concerns about healthy eating. Residents objected to a solar farm in part because of something called lunar reflection. That the moonlight might reflect off a solar panel like it would, oh I don't know, a lake or the ocean. Which is all well and good but if want stuff like new hospitals, highways and potholes fixed, it must somehow be paid for. There's a little too much economic nimbyism going on for anyone to be seriously complaining about the state of things.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

FENZ says there have been as many as 30 fireworks-caused fires throughout the country since sales began on Sunday. Incidents include a house fire overnight in the south of Auckland; and on Monday night firefighters and police being shot at with fireworks in Dunedin's student area. FENZ says conditions in a lot of the country are windy and dry, meaning fires could spread quickly. It is warning people to check conditions before lighting up - and for those in rural areas to ensure burnouts are totally out. Adrian Nacey is a national manager at FENZ.

Rev. Desi Lugo, UPCI missionary to New Zealand, preaches from Matthew 28:18–20, Acts 1:8, and Isaiah 6:8, challenging believers to answer the Great Commission with obedience. Drawing from his family's journey from pastoral ministry in the U.S. to missions work in Vanuatu and now Dunedin, New Zealand, Bro. Lugo emphasizes that the same Spirit that empowers us locally compels us globally. The harvest is great, and every believer is called to go, give, or send in the work of the Kingdom.

Tess has the latest with the Otago councillor accused of financial misconduct, court action over protecting the hoiho, and Dunedin's new mayor.
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.
