Explore space, time, and technology in science fiction through indigenous lenses with award-winning author Dr Gina Cole (Black Ice Matter; Na Viro) and writer, critic and producer, Dan Taipua. Dr. Gina Cole is an award-winning author of Fijian, Scottish and Welsh descent. Her collection Black Ice Matter won the Hubert Church Prize for Best First Book Fiction in 2017. Her science fiction fantasy novel Na Viro (Huia, 2022) is a work of Pasifikafuturism following sisters wayfinding through sea and space. Awarded the 2023 Fulbright-Creative New Zealand Pacific Writer's Residency in 2023, she is currently working on the second book in her Turukawa Trilogy. Dan Taipua (Waikato-Tainui) is a writer and critic working in Tāmaki Makaurau. His interests cross through art history, popular culture and Te Ao Māori with a particular focus on futurism and imagined worlds. In 2015, Dan Taipua and Sophie Wilson produced the documentary Aotearoa Futurism for RNZ Music, interviewing Māori and Pasifika artists whose works explore the boundaries of technology and time. This work has inspired further study of indigenous futurisms by scholars and creators alike and continues to shape Taipua's own critical practice. This talk is in association with our sci-fi exhibition 'Other Worlds' and the 'Tāmaki Untold' series. Exhibition is open from 19 February to 2 August 2025 in the Heritage Gallery, Level 2, Central City Library / Tāmaki Pātaka Kōrero.

The Lord of the Rings film trilogy won 17 Academy Awards and its legacy endures nearly 25 years after the first film's release. The trilogy's success has put its filming location, New Zealand, on the industry map. The motion picture business contributes at least $2.12 billion a year to New Zealand's economy. That's also been a boon for Indigenous cinema. Māori film critic and programmer Leo Koziol calls it a “renaissance". The recent Māori-led film The Convert, directed by Lee Tamahori, is garnering critical acclaim. We'll talk with Koziol and hear from Māori creatives who worked on Lord of the Rings about progress on Māori representation in film since then. This is an encore show and we won't be taking live calls from listeners.

Portfolios looking to make a real-world impact are increasingly considering real assets as part of their investment strategies.With a trillion-dollar investment gap in our global infrastructure, this seems like a smart move. Real asset investing is not only driving progress worldwide, it's also a smart long-term investment to secure our planet's future.But some may ask… what is the real extent of impact that real assets can generate? In this episode, we're going to find out. My guest is Anish Majmudar, the Head of Real Assets at M&G plc whose team focuses on investments in infrastructure, agriculture, and nature-based solutions. He studied economics at University College London and entered the world of finance and asset management in 2012 thanks to the graduate program at M&G.Anish is here to share his remarkable insights on overseeing a vast portfolio that amounts to nearly $400 billion in assets across public and private markets.His curiosity for alternative assets ultimately led to a crucial role in growing Prudential Assurance Company's real assets portfolio division. In this episode, Anish and I lay out all the opportunities and challenges within the real asset impact investing space, an area that M&G is opening up for a broader range of investors, having previously been the preserve of large institutional pools of capital. These investments aim to bridge the massive infrastructure spending gap with sustainable solutions, focusing on energy transition, responsible consumption and production, and social and economic inclusion.We also discuss how this strategic approach is about much more than just capital investment for returns; it's about leveraging private capital and M&G's expertise to create clean energy, improve biodiversity, and open doors for underserved communities, thereby driving decarbonization and advancing global sustainability.Tune in to gain a better understanding of the deep impact that strategic investments in real assets can bring to our world.  —Show notes—About the SRI 360° Podcast: The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing.

“If you try to balance your writing career against your parenting as though it's on a scale, like, ‘I'm balancing my life like a scales of justice scale, and there's only these two things and one goes up and the other goes down'--If you try to do that, you are guaranteed to be miserable because whenever your parenting is going great, you will think that your writing is going badly. And when your writing is going great, you will feel like your parenting is going badly. And that is not how one should look at life.”~ MM De VoeJoin Kaitlin as she chats with MM De Voe, a writer of internationally acclaimed speculative literary fiction and poetry. Born to a traditional Lithuanian family of six in College Station, Texas, M as her writer friends call her, was raised Catholic and bilingual by an organic chemistry researcher and a Montessori directress. She's the founder of the literary nonprofit, https://www.penparentis.org/ (Pen Parentis), and the author of the fun instructional memoir Book and Baby, which won first place in writing publishing at the 2021 indie awards. She lives in Manhattan, where as she puts it, she spends her days reveling in irony. M is deeply passionate about the subject matter of the intersection of parenting and writing, and naturally, this podcast conversation seeks to shine a light on the origin of this passion. MM and Kaitlin talk about: How M juggled her writing with caregiving when her children were much younger, and how this fuelled the birth of https://www.penparentis.org/ (Pen Parentis). Several insightful tips and pieces of advice that M has for parents who are writers. What M refers to as the Mobile Model; a healthier and more balanced way of viewing the different roles we juggle as creatives, members of society, wives, children and caregivers. Cultivating the art of being fully present with our children in order to offer them the best quality of our time, as opposed to stewing in the guilt of not being able to offer them the larger amounts of time we unconsciously deem good enough. The Pen Parentis community and how it supports writing parents, whatever phase of life or expertise they may be in. https://www.postpartumproduction.com/episodes/09 (Click here) for the full episode show notes. As an aside, you might hear Kaitlin's daughter playing in the background during this episode. As Kaitlin mentioned earlier, she was literally doing what MM De Voe discusses in her book. This episode was recorded right after school was on break and Kaitlin's 6 year old daughter, C, was in the room; she contributed a little bit to the conversation as you'll hear.
