Nicola Toki joins Emile for Critter of the Week, this week they are turning their attention to New Zealand's Crayfish Flatworm. If you have ever caught one of our koura (freshwater crayfish) and looked closely at their claws, you may have seen something looking back at you. You are seeing Temnohaswellia, hitch-hiking flatworms that rely on the koura to find it its next meal.

Stan Scott joins Emile to chat about DIY projects you could do about the house.

Emile chats to The Hungry Cook also known as Olivia Galletly about her recipe for coconut, oat and chocolate slice. Inspired by her love for a Kingston biscuit, a chewy coconut and oat base with a toasted coconut and dark chocolate fudge top. Olivia loves that it's equal parts base and fudgy top, really great textures and a huge hit of coconut.

Afternoons critic Dominic Corry is in the studio with Emile to share what he's been watching. This week he reviews The Odyssey and Islands - both in cinemas now.

Because in the latest RNZ Reid research poll, more than half the people surveyed said they could be persuaded to vote for a different party. Which says a lot about the state of the parties currently ... but also got us thinking about what political parties need to do to target these so-called swing voters and how much energy would go into creating policies that could appeal to them. Clint Smith has held a variety of roles in Government, including in Jacinda Ardern's Government, And as Senior Policy Strategist for her predecessor, Andrew Little. He is now Director at Victor Consulting, and he joins Emile to discuss.

To football now and as you'll surely know the hopes of English football fans were dashed this morning, as England was dispatched from the World Cup by Argentina in a tense 2-1 semi-final. The Argentinians have now booked a spot in the final on Monday with Spain .. breaking hearts all over England .. so just how awful are the British press going to be .. and what can we expect from the final. Here to help answer those questions and more .. Emile is joined by Fred de Jong .. former All White and now football commentator.

The Kids Lit Quiz is an international competition for 10-14 year olds who love reading. It was founded by New Zealander Wayne Mills, who noticed that while there were plenty of competitions for the sporty kids, there wasn't really anything to celebrate young people who loved books. This year's world final was held here in New Zealand, taking place in Paihia on Friday. Ben Watson from the team joins Emile.

An RNZ story caught our eye this morning discussing the number of vacant Kainga Ora houses in Wellington. An apparent stall in redevelopment is the reason for these properties staying empty. But it got us thinking about the wider issue of so called 'ghost housing' - houses which appear to be left empty for sometimes years. We want to know how much of a problem is it ... And is there a case for following the likes of Vancouver who have introduced an 'empty house' tax. Gareth Kiernan is Chief Forecaster and Director at Infometrics - he chats to Emile.

There is nothing all that new about using AI in healthcare .. indeed just this morning there was another article about how AI tools can mean doctors spend more time with patients and less time on administration. But what's not so positive is people choosing to use AI instead of a professional. It seems more and more of us are treating AI chat bots as 24/7 therapists .. using them to talk through problems or seek support when we're struggling. University of Auckland's Dushanthi Manamalage has been investigating this phenomenon and joins Emile.

Voedselbos Ketelbroek is de plek waar De Nieuwe Winkel wortel schiet. Emile van de Staak fietst er wekelijks naartoe voor planten, bloemen, noten en ideeën die zich aan hem opdringen.Voedselbos Ketelbroek is de plek waar de inspiratie voor De Nieuwe Winkel niet wordt bedacht, maar opkomt. Elke wortel, tak, blad, bloem en noot heeft een gerecht in zich. Of in ieder geval een component.Jonas en Jeroen liepen samen met Emile van de Staak en initiatiefnemer Wouter van Eck door 2,5 hectare eetbare overvloed, op 15 kilometer van Nijmegen. Geen tuin met eetbare spullen, maar een systeem dat groeit, uitdijt en terugpraat. Voor Emile is Ketelbroek geen romantisch decor, maar het wortelstelsel onder De Nieuwe Winkel.ShownotesBij elke aflevering maken we uitgebreide shownotes met recepten uit het archief die passen bij wildpluk, voedselbossen en koken met wat er groeit.

Kelly Gibney is with Emile to share her latest Easy Eat recipe.

In our most recent Solving the World's Problems segment Emile spoke to Verity Johnson, who advocated very passionately for Auckland appointing a night mayor. A Night Mayor's job is to advocate for the community, businesses, artists, venues, and workers that keep a city alive after dark. Many of you were in support of such an idea .. although some of you concerned about more bills to pay for it .. so we thought we should find out how it could work in reality. And we didn't have to look very far to find an example .. if we take a look to Australia, New South Wales already has something very close to that. Michael Rodrigues is the New South Wales 24-Hour Economy Commissioner, he joins Emile.

It won't come as a surprise to any of you that social media can be a minefield of information - and misinformation. You click on something and next minute it is all over your social media feed - for good or bad. A new study from the University of Otago has examined social media through the lens of exercise advice targeting women - and the result may just surprise you. Professor Katherine Black, from the Department of Human Nutrition co-authored the study - and she joins Emile to discuss.

As you no doubt will have heard, yesterday we lost perhaps the finest actor New Zealand has ever produced, Sir Sam Neill, at the age of 78. From Kiwi classics like 'Sleeping Dogs' and 'Hunt for the Wilderpeople', to arthouse darlings like 'Possession', and blockbuster hits like 'Jurassic Park', the breadth of Sam's career was astonishing. Tributes have been pouring in from around the world today from the likes of Steven Speilberg, Jeff Goldblum, Toni Collette, Cillian Murphy, Jacinda Ardern, Christopher Luxon. Kiwi screen legend and a close friend of Sam's Ginette McDonald spoke to Emile. [picture id="4JLJJFY_GettyImages_129738219_jpg" crop="16x10" layout="full"]

Allow me to introduce you to one of the most satisfying corners of the internet. I'm talking of course about the online world of Nathan Stafford, better known as Nathan's Lawns and Gardens. Nathan is a Sydney-based gardener and landscaper who has built up millions of followers by filming himself mowing, trimming, weeding, water-blasting, and restoring neglected properties for people who are doing it tough. And over the weekend he crossed the ditch to spend a few days offering his services to Kiwi families in need - but before that, he popped into our Auckland studio for a wee chinwag.

Hair loss affects millions of people, but it's something many of us still feel uncomfortable talking about. For some it's simply part of getting older, but for others it can have a real impact on confidence and wellbeing. Hair transplants have become far more common over the past decade. But how do they actually work? Who are they suitable for? And what should people know before considering one? Dr. Kai leads the hair transplant team at The Auckland Clinic and Emile put all your questions to him. [picture id="4JTFGGP_Dr_Kai_JPG" crop="16x10" layout="full"]

Cyber criminals and nation-state actors are no longer relying on malware alone – they're exploiting trust. Here's what you need to know to fight back. ThreatLocker's Emile Barakat joins Cyber Daily's David Hollingworth to help Australia's business leaders understand how threat actors target professionals on platforms like LinkedIn – and how it needs to be addressed. Whether it's a fake recruiter, consultant, or business partner, attackers invest weeks or months in building credibility before asking victims to open a file, run code, or share sensitive information. The old advice of "don't click suspicious links" is no longer enough – employees must learn to question suspicious opportunities just as much as suspicious emails. Traditional security awareness training also needs an overhaul. Quarterly phishing exercises remain important, but modern attacks increasingly hide behind legitimate-looking software, trusted open-source tools, and highly personalised AI-driven social engineering. The message for business leaders is simple, says Barakat: assume your organisation is a target, regardless of its size. Enjoy, The Cyber Uncut Team

It's been a tough week for many of you in the South Island coping with the effects of flooding, closed roads and damaged infrastructure. For those not affected it can be hard looking on and not knowing how to help. Although that's not a problem for our next guest.

We chatted about power prices on the show yesterday and boy did you have thoughts! The Electricity Authority says most households have seen an average increase of about eight percent to their bills this winter and that's on top of the eight percent rise last year. It prompted lots of questions from you about how to save money on power bills and ways to use electricity efficiently. So we thought it would be a good idea to have an expert in to answer those questions, and any others you might have. Do send us any questions you've got to 2101 or email us afternoons@rnz.co.nz.

Jonas en Jeroen bezoeken De Nieuwe Winkel in Nijmegen en spreken chef Emile van der Staak over botanische gastronomie, voedselbos Ketelbroek, Michelin en de toekomst van plantaardig koken.Wat gebeurt er als een chef besluit dat de toekomst van gastronomie niet in foie gras, kaviaar of wagyu ligt, maar in kastanjes, zaden, bladeren, fermentaties en een voedselbos bij Nijmegen? In deze aflevering gaan Jonas en Jeroen langs bij De Nieuwe Winkel, het volledig plantaardige restaurant van Emile van der Staak met twee Michelinsterren.Jeroen en Jonas eten bij De Nieuwe Winkel, bezoeken voedselbos Ketelbroek en spreken met Emile over zijn weg naar de keuken, de ontwikkeling van zijn restaurant en zijn filosofie: botanische gastronomie. Hoe bouw je een topkeuken op planten? Wat betekent de eiwittransitie voor gastronomie? En hoe blijf je eigenwijs als Michelin, de markt en de restaurantwereld allemaal iets van je vinden?Emile vertelt hoe Noma de manier van kijken naar wildpluk veranderde, waarom topkeukens niet op angst hoeven te draaien en hoe gerechten bij De Nieuwe Winkel ontstaan uit componenten, wandelingen en het lab. Daar werken ze aan toepassingen die verder gaan dan het restaurant: plantaardige sauzen, amandelkaas en eten voor veel grotere schaal.ShownotesBij elke aflevering maken we uitgebreide shownotes, met informatie uit de podcast en links naar recepten.

It's fair to say the action on the pitch at the Football World Cup has been a rollercoaster of emotions. But it's what has happened off the pitch that seems to have got some fans' blood truly boiling. That's because it turns out US President Donald Trump called the FIFA president asking him to review a red card suspension for the USA's breakout star Folarin Balogun. The red card would have seen Balogun unable to play in the match happening right now against Belgium .. and yet .. there he is on the pitch. RNZ sports reporter Felicity Reid joins Emile to discuss.

In his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde tells the story of a handsome young man who makes a deal with the Devil—his soul, in exchange for eternal youth and beauty. But there is a portrait of Dorian in the attic of his house, and as he moves through the years with his handsome face not aging, the portrait ages—and it also begins to show the poison seeping through him as he lives his life in soulless, selfish pursuit of hedonistic pleasures. He drives a young woman to suicide and doesn't feel bad about it. He becomes more and more of a toxic force in the lives of the people around him. And when his friend finally calls him out on it, Dorian murders him. He couldn't bear the fact that his best friend could see him for what he really was—the true, monstrous face behind the handsome façade. It's a hell of a metaphor, and it's what we've said so many times on our show about narcissists: that they want to indulge themselves at the expense of everybody else, but would rather die than be exposed for it. Today's story is about a real-life Dorian Gray, a man who used his charm and charisma to lure in a talented, intelligent woman, only to throw her life into chaos and leave broken wreckage behind.
