AJ reckons his 2015–2018 era in Auckland was a full-blown heater — TV show attempts, MC gigs, and running social campaigns (including a massive Snapchat growth run). But the wheels properly fall off with two all-time public blow-ups.First: he's working content for a Blue Sky / Spring Break party trip heading to Rarotonga. He's filming the hype on a delayed Jetstar charter, steps near the cockpit to grab a shot, and the captain reckons he's filming inside - final call is the captain's, so AJ gets escorted off by police and left watching the party flight take off without him. He books the next-day flight anyway… only to arrive and get quarantined in his room for two days so the crew can “lay low” in case it hits the news. That ends his Blue Sky run.Then: an international match at Seddon Park (Hamilton) where security mistakes AJ for another bloke in the same classic Black Caps top. He gets cut off, then cameras catch him taking a sip of a mate's beer - and he's escorted out. A snarky push turns into AJ saying “I'm walking” … and it escalates to handcuffs, right as the Northern Districts CEO clocks the whole thing. The result: AJ loses the upcoming MC gig for the grand final, and he takes it as the final straw.After that, he heads back to Dunedin, slows down, and the rest is history - meets his future wife on Tinder, kid, new job, calmer chapter.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast.

How much do you hate daggy sheep? Well, what started as a frustration with daggy sheep ended up reshaping this week's guest's entire farming system.This week, Allan Richardson explains how his determination to eliminate daggy sheep ultimately led to three decades of organic farming and the adoption of regenerative principles.He began by wanting to select for low dag score, but a local vet encouraged him to focus instead on worm resistance. Selecting for worm resistance made organic certification achievable. From there, Organic farming opened the door to regenerative principles focused on soil biology and long-term system health.Farming inland from Dunedin in a summer wet climate, Allan shares his wisdom from nearly 40 years of selection for worm resistance, resilience, short tails and longevity. Head Shepherd is brought to you by neXtgen Agri International Limited.

AJ rolls in dusty after a big night and immediately delivers one of the loosest sports yarns you'll ever hear.Back in 2013 in Dunedin, AJ gets recruited to fire up the Highlanders student section (“The Zoo”) at Forsyth Barr Stadium - but instead of a normal mascot gig, he ends up in a full chicken suit, half cut, and armed with a “bag of gags”… including a black dildo that (somehow) becomes part of the entertainment.It goes exactly as you'd expect: the sponsor finds out, emails start flying, and AJ cops a life ban… until they change their mind and invite him back with one condition: no dildos.Then it levels up. Mid-season, a streaker hits the field and AJ - still dressed as a chicken — absolutely crunches him in a tackle that blows up across radio, news, and even lands on ESPN Top 10 plays. But the fame comes with a cost: a news outlet tries to unmask the mascot, forcing AJ into a choice that changes everything.From there it turns into a three-week Highlanders championship bender: packed pubs, the “Landers Army,” printing champions tees, trophy tours, a cooked Bedford bus with shithouse brakes, cops pulling them over, and a 21-day tear that ends in pneumonia… and a relationship ultimatum he definitely ignores.This is pure chaos, pure NZ rugby culture, and a proper true yarn from start to finish.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast.

Super Rugby Pacific kicks off tomorrow night in Dunedin, where the bruised Highlanders are facing the Crusaders. That's just one of a number of interesting clashes in the first round. Sports reporter Jamie Wall spoke to Lisa Owen.

Spring has sprung for your Toronto Blue Jays, who are gathering in Dunedin to begin the drive for a second straight American League championship—and, ideally, more—as we speak (or, you know, as you read this). But that's not all that's been sprung this week in Jaysland. The team has sprung some fairly significant news here at the dawn of camp, announcing that the shoulder that torpedoed Anthony Santander's first season now requires surgery that may make his second year a write-off as well, that Shane Bieber continues to be dealing with fatigue in his surgically repaired arm and will be brought along slowly, that Bowden Francis is going under the knife and will be out for the season, and—though this was more a Sportsnet thing than a Jays thing—that the legendary Buck Martinez has decided to hang up his microphone, announcing his retirement after an incredible career in Major League Baseball that began before Woodstock.Not great, Bob!

In part two, crossing the road shouldn't feel like a gamble on your safety, but that's how an Invercargill high school is describing it. According to staff, cars and cyclists regularly whiz past the pedestrian crossing outside the junior campus of James Hargest College. The Panel hears from principal Mike Newell. Then, a brave 12 year old in Dunedin has guarded a sealion mum who's decided to give birth in the same St Kilda street twice.

They are now spending tens of thousands of dollars taking her to Europe for further treatment, saying they no longer have trust in the New Zealand health system. Ruth Hill reports.

New Zealand has a reputation for being breathtaking—but what is it actually like to experience it by cruise? In this episode, I'm sharing a port-by-port review of my New Zealand itinerary, including Waiheke Island in Auckland, a pearl farm and beachcomber cruise in Picton, Lord of the Rings filming locations in Christchurch, wildlife encounters in Dunedin with Nature's Wonders, and scenic cruising through Milford Sound. Next week, I'll also share my honest review of the ship and explain why it plays such a big role when cruising to destinations like New Zealand. If New Zealand is on your travel list, or you're curious whether a cruise is the right way to experience it, this episode offers a grounded, realistic look at what makes this destination so special.

I had the idea for this episode sometime during mid-summer 2025. Then I became distracted by the big project I'm working on now, then the holidays, sick cats, and the random hassles of life. This one's only 34 minutes long. My deepest apologies for all the mispronunciations of Maori names. This is the story of Choie Sew Hoy 徐肇开 and the times he lived in during the 19th-century Chinese immigrant scene in New Zealand. There was a lot more going on in the history of Chinese New Zealanders. This story is mostly limited to the events surrounding the Otago Gold Rush of the early 1860s.
