How long do you have? In all seriousness, we love dads, and millennial dads are absolutely raising the bar on what it looks like to be a father. This chat is about society, and why dads seem to get praised for their parenting while mums are just… plain old parenting (and complaining about it on their hot mum walks, IYKYK). Our listeners had a lot to say on this one when we opened the polls up – 96% of you thought that dads do get more praise for parenting. Is it because of deeply entrenched traditional gender roles? Is it a general lack of care for mothers and motherhood? Is it mums being cast as the ‘default' parent who are *just” doing what's expected of them? Is it stereotyped language around dad's being ‘hands on' or ‘babysitting' their own kids? Listen and hear from us, as well as you, our listeners, as we break this one down together. Studies/articles mentioned in this chat:Grattan Institute Research on parenting dynamics in early years.

Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey 2022 on housework division.Australian Survey of Social Attitudes 2022 on Traditional Gender Norms.

Episode 104: James Beck works with an organisation called A Rocha Aotearoa NZ (https://arocha.org.nz/) which is a Christian environmental conservation organisation. In this conversation we discuss the trajectory of his spirituality and work, especially how and why he made intentional choices to move away from the up-and-coming charismatic preacher kind of life, to become someone who instead is pouring his energy into environmental care, both in his own faith community and also in helping to cultivate this across a diverse range of faith communities in NZ. We talk about the tension between despair and active engagement that can come in this kind of work. We also reflect on how the 'outcomes' of ecological action (e.g. reversing climate change etc) are not the only measure of the importance of caring for our environment; there is something deeply human and deeply spiritual that can resonate in this space. As a part of his work, James is the director of the Eco Church network in New Zealand (https://www.ecochurch.org.nz/), as well as the host of the podcast Ngā Here – the Many Connections - a podcast that explores the connections between faith, caring for nature, and living in the context of Aotearoa NZ.

In this bonus episode, economist Tony Alexander tackles your burning questions—from the case for a land value tax, to the flood of Kiwis heading offshore, to what financial education should mean for kids..

Plus, his take on why financial education needs to go beyond budgeting—and into the world of startups . This Q&A follows our full chat with Tony on the state of the property market.

Can we really reverse biological age?  In this groundbreaking episode, I sit down with Greg Macpherson, biotechnologist, pharmacist, and founder of SRW Laboratories, to explore the cutting-edge science behind reversing biological ageing — backed by real human clinical trial data. We discuss SRW's latest clinical study, which demonstrated measurable reductions in biological age markers through targeted supplementation. Greg unpacks how biological age is assessed using epigenetic markers like DNA methylation, and how SRW's formulations are designed to influence key aging pathways including: sirtuins, NAD+ production, AMPK, and mTOR modulation. What you'll learn from the episode:  What biological age really means  How SRW's trial measured age reversal using TruDiagnostic epigenetic clocks  Key molecules and compounds driving the effect  The importance of cellular senescence, mitochondrial function, and genomic stability  What's next in the field of longevity biotechnology Whether you're a health professional, biohacker, or longevity enthusiast, this episode is packed with science-forward insights and actionable takeaways.

Independent economist Tony Alexander is back to give us the lowdown on the housing market, interest rates, and what’s driving investment sentiment in 2025. He unpacks why lending is still lagging behind 2021 levels, despite a lift in business and consumer credit, and why the cost of living remains stubbornly high, with some commodity prices reportedly up around 17%. Why are private debt levels looking lower in the South Island than in the North? What happened to the housing market recovery some expected late last year? And why does Tony believe interest rates could be close to hitting their floor?

New Zealand Rugby have secured a new sponsor. They've partnered with American company Gallagher Insurance, who's logo will appear on both the training and match day shorts of all our national teams. It comes two months after Ineos terminated their $21 million a year contract with the union. NZR CEO Mark Robinson told Mike Hosking Gallagher's got a deep connection with the sport, having been involved with World Rugby and the English Premiership, as well as already being involved in NZ rugby at the provincial level. He says they're connected to the values and ethos of the game, and they obviously feel that there's a strong opportunity for branding, as well as business opportunities.

Mel Bracewell is one of New Zealand's funniest comedy exports — and in this episode of Between Two Beers, she opens up in a way you've never seen before.We dive into her rise from internet cult figure to TV star, the pressure of performing in Australia vs NZ, and the mental health journey that's shaped her along the way.From swearing in front of the Australian Prime Minister, to her viral Seven Days moment (“Classic Kiwi Taste”), to her ADHD diagnosis and life on anti-depressants — this is a funny, honest, and deeply relatable chat with one of the country's brightest comedic minds.We also cover the chaos of working in radio, her famous family, the weight of imposter syndrome, and why she once flew across the country with a rabbit.

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Raj, Baldy and Stu discuss an eventful couple of weeks, which have seen RCB win their way to the IPL final, England demolish Zimbabwe, Karun Nair strengthen his case for a Test recall, Shubman Gill named India Test captain and Copilot names its favourite podcast host. We start by talking about IPL 2025's most recent game, which saw the Mumbai Indians advance, ending Gujarat Titans' season in the process. Sai Sudharsan was brilliant once again, but ultimately it was another stunning delivery from Jasprit Bumrah that turned the match. We also discuss Royal Challengers Bengaluru's first appearance in a final since 2016, with Josh Hazlewood and Virat Kohli leading the way with ball and bat respectively. But will they face Mumbai or the Punjab Kings in the big dance? Next we head to England to discuss their recent victory against Zimbabwe. Was it the perfect way to start the summer? Is Shoaib Bashir the answer? Is there a way in for Jacob Bethell after Ollie Pope's huge hundred? And how many references can we make to songs by Sam Cook? India named their Test squad to face England, and it is filled with stars but has a very new era feel to it thanks to the retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Karun Nair's made a strong case for inclusion against the Lions, Sai Sudharsan's New Zealand-based fan club is growing and Shubman Gill has been named captain. To round out the show, there's brief mention of the World Test Championship Final build up (full preview coming next week) and the Black Caps' coaching search, which looks set to be finalised very soon.
