The government has introduced a bill banning social media for under-16s, and it is about time. Big tech platforms care about eyeballs and profits, not the health and safety of our kids. With one in three NZ teenagers spending five-plus hours a day scrolling, we ask why the two main parties must unite to pass this law. Minister Erica Stanford joins Duncan to break it down.

S3 Finding Heidi UpdateRyan is currently still working on the final two episodes of Finding Heidi Endgame. There are a couple important loose ends that need to be tied up to conclude the season. So this week we're re-introducing The Veil with the Subscriber only special episode - Where is Sara Neithe?On Sunday 30 March 2003, Sara Niethe drove out of Kerepehi in her mother's light green Honda Civic, stopped at a dairy in Ngatea where a security camera recorded her, and carried on to a house at Kaihere. She was never seen again. Her daughter turned ten the next day, with a table booked at a café. Ten years later Mark Pakenham pleaded guilty to her manslaughter — he had injected her with methamphetamine, a drug she had never used, and watched her die. He was paroled in 2016. Sara has never been found. Neither has the car.IF YOU KNOW SOMETHINGThe car is the most useful thing anyone can help with: a light green 1987 Honda Civic hatchback, registration NH4050, which vanished from the Kaihere / Ngatea / Thames area around 30–31 March 2003 and has never surfaced at a wrecker, been re-registered, or turned up in a drain or a paddock. Investigators believe that wherever the car is, Sara is with it.Anything else helps too — ground turned over on a farm that autumn, a paddock people were told to keep out of. You do not have to have done anything wrong to know about it.Bruce Currie, private investigator and former Waikato CIB senior detective, who has worked this case pro bono with Sara's family — 027 844 1349, bruce@mrtracer.co.nz. In confidence.NZ Police non-emergency: 105.Crime Stoppers: 0800 555 111 — anonymous.A NOTE ON SOURCINGMark Pakenham pleaded guilty to manslaughter in February 2013 and was sentenced in the High Court at Hamilton on 16 August 2013 to six years seven months. He was also convicted of two counts of injuring with intent to injure, relating to two women in Auckland between 1990 and 1992; those appear only because the sentencing judge relied on them in open court. He was paroled on 22 June 2016. This episode does not report on his life since. He later denied the account he pleaded guilty to; the Parole Board said this suggested "a person who is dishonest".No other person has ever been charged over Sara's death. The episode refers to one man, unnamed, recorded as having been in contact with Pakenham that day, who died in 2018. He was never charged, no court has made any finding about him, and no allegation is made against him.There was no trial, so no tested evidence and no judgment of fact — only an agreed summary and a sentencing. There is no forensic record: no remains, no post-mortem, no toxicology, no scene examination, no vehicle. Sara's age is reported variously as 30, 31 and 32; we used 31. The view that Pakenham had help disposing of Sara and the car is Bruce Currie's, and is not a finding of any court; police say there is no evidence of it. In October 2024, after an 18-month review, police found no reason to reopen the file.SOURCESNew Zealand Parole Board, Mark Edward Pakenham, 9 June 2016 — paroleboard.govt.nzRNZ, "Police appeal for killer to reveal where body is" (2013); "Body still missing as killer released" (2016) — rnz.co.nzOtago Daily Times (2011, 2013 court reporting) — odt.co.nzThe Valley Profile, Hauraki — the local reporting that carried the 2022–23 searches — valleyprofile.co.nzAnna Leask, NZME (NZ Herald / Newstalk ZB), 2023–24 case reportingMr Tracer (Bruce Currie) case files — mrtracer.co.nzWaikato Times (2008); NZ Woman's Weekly family interview (2011)SUPPORTThis episode deals with the killing of a woman, methamphetamine and long-term grief.NZ: 1737 (call or text) · Alcohol Drug Helpline 0800 787 797 · Family violence 0800 456 450 · Women's Refuge 0800 REFUGE · Victim Support 0800 842 846AU: Lifeline 13 11 14 · Beyond Blue 1300 22 4636 · 1800RESPECT 1800 737 732Guilt is a 100% Independent Podcast.

Airports and ports, pipelines and power lines. Infrastructure is all around us — and demand for it could be entering one of its biggest booms in generations. In this episode, Mike Taylor and Kent Williams of Pie Funds unpack what’s driving that demand, from the rapid buildout of AI and data centres to growing pressure on power grids and the electrification of everyday life. How does Pie decide which infrastructure assets to invest in? Can power supply keep up with rising demand? Will the enormous sums being spent on AI deliver a return? And why is only a fraction of the world’s infrastructure available to everyday investors?

Brandon shares how he uses rapid fat-loss days, deficit deloads and high-carbohydrate refeeds, while Mikki explains how PSMF days and structured diet breaks are incorporated into Mondays Matter.Finally, they discuss who rapid fat-loss strategies are not appropriate for, including circumstances where hormonal health, energy availability, training demands or physique goals mean a more conservative approach is warranted.It's a practical and nuanced discussion about when rapid fat loss can be a useful tool, when it can become counterproductive, and why context matters far more than simply labelling an approach as good or bad.Brandon DaCruz at his website https://www.brandondacruzfit.com/, and on Instagram @brandondacruz_Chasing Clarity https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chasing-clarity-health-fitness-podcast/id1619611966 Brandon DaCruz is an online nutrition and physique coach, accredited nutritionist, functional nutrition and metabolism specialist, and health and fitness educator with over 16 years of coaching experience.Throughout his career, Brandon has helped more than 1,200 clients ranging from Olympia-level physique competitors and competitive athletes to business owners, executives, and lifestyle clients improve their body composition, optimize performance, and enhance their overall health.

A calm and composed riding technique with a demeanour to match, are the attributes that have endeared Koby Jennings to many trainers in his fifteen year career. After spending the latter part of his apprenticeship in Sydney the heavyweight rider joined the fully fledged ranks knowing his opportunities would be restricted by weight. Nevertheless he rode winners consistently, earning the respect of some of Sydney's most astute trainers. Koby's CV is highlighted by wins in a Provincial Championship Final and a Golden Eagle. Two years ago he returned to his hometown of Traralgon and the winners have continued to flow across the region. He's currently taking a break from the sweat box and trying his hand as a businessman. He's on the podcast this week to bring us up to date. Koby begins by assuring us that he has no intention of abandoning his beloved thoroughbreds. In fact he's still riding regular trackwork. He talks of his association with Will Hayes who runs Lindsay Park's Pakenham stables.  Koby says it took an age for him to get any traction among the Victorian riding ranks when he relocated from Sydney two years ago.   The 31 year old outlines the reasons for his current absence from the race riding ranks. The heavyweight jockey talks about his acquisition of a Jim's Mowing franchise in Traralgon West. He looks forward to the challenge. Koby takes us back to his original apprenticeship to his late grandfather and the excitement of his first race ride. He says it took him a long time to crack it for that elusive first win. He reflects on that unforgettable day at Stony Creek. The jockey looks back on a loan-out to Darwin trainer Stephen Brown and an exciting eighteen months in the Top End. Also in Darwin was jockey Carl Spry who later got an opportunity in Canberra. Koby says he decided to go with Carl and was fortunate to get a start with trainer Mark Schmetzer who supported him admirably. He talks of a brief stint with the Jones/Joseph team in Canberra which preceded a move to Randwick trainer Kevin Moses. He talks of the valued tutorship from the former ace jockey.  Koby looks back on his chance meeting with a young Dutch girl who was working for Anthony Cummings at the same time. Koby and Nerissa are nowadays the proud parents of son Declan and daughter Riley. He looks back on time spent with Jim and Greg Lee in the latter stages of his apprenticeship.  He reflects on one special day towards the end of his junior term when he won four races for different stables at a Rosehill Gardens Saturday meeting. Koby talks of happy associations with several prominent stables, and pays tribute to the trainers in question. He looks back on a thrilling two year old win on the Gold Coast for trainer Nathan Doyle and a Calibre Syndication ownership group. Koby says his association with Doyle continued after his  move back to Victoria. The jockey looks back on his association with Bobbing, a horse who qualified for the Provincial Championship despite a serious setback. He looks back on the gelding's huge effort to win the $500,000 Final. He acknowledges the training performance by Bernie Kelly. Koby takes us through the “before and after” of his unexpected Golden Eagle win on Colette in the Godolphin colours.  He remembers two stakes wins on the John Sargent trained Luvaluva and a surprise trip to NZ to ride the mare in a Gr 1 event at Te Rapa. In a complete change of direction Koby talks of his passion for deep sea fishing and the fibre glass boat he treated like a prized thoroughbred. He looks back on fishing expeditions many kilometres from home base. He pays tribute to his trainer father Troy who's continuing to train a small team of horses despite ongoing health issues.  It's a nice yarn with a very disciplined  heavyweight jockey who hasn't squandered an opportunity in his fifteen years of race riding.  You can't help but get the feeling his career isn't over yet.

SHARESIES · MARKET MOVEMENTS · 11 AUGUST 2026Jacki Neumann, Head of Capital Markets at Sharesies Note: Filmed Monday 10 August ↑ WHAT’S UP — The S&P 500 hit a new record close to finish the week up 3.6%, the Nasdaq up 5.2% in its best week since May, and the ASX 200 climbing 3.2% to its own new record. Strong corporate earnings helped power the rally: Palantir jumped 29.5% after 93% revenue growth, AMD posted record quarterly revenue of US$11.5 billion, and SpaceX surged around 23% on its first public results. ↓ WHAT’S DOWN — ResMed shares fell after a mixed underlying result. Oil was choppy, falling initially on hopes of a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, only to climb later in the week as Iran moved to restrict US and Israeli vessels. ! BIGGEST SURPRISES — The US July jobs report shed 23,000 jobs against expectations to gain around 80,000, even as the unemployment rate fell to 4.1%. Markets read it as easing Fed pressure, cutting September rate-hike odds to 41% from 55%. ◎ WHAT TO WATCH — The RBA decides on Tuesday, with a hold at 4.35% expected, and US July CPI and PPI will test whether price pressures are easing after the oil run-up. Reporting season continues with RocketLab, Cisco and Super Micro in the US, and CBA, ANZ, Westpac, QBE, IAG and Suncorp locally. ◈ BIGGER PICTURE — Records across Wall Street and the ASX show a firmly risk-on market, powered by strong earnings and tentative signs of easing Middle East tensions. Appetite remains for the AI and growth trade, demonstrated by Palantir, AMD, and SpaceX. But unsettled oil prices and the impact of a soft US jobs print sit in the background as potential swing factors.

After a 16 year hiatus, Vietnamese-Australian writer Nam Le returned to the literary scene with his award-winning poetry collection '36 Ways of Writing a Vietnamese Poem'. An unapologetic interrogation of what it means to be a part of a diaspora, Le took the much-coveted Book of the Year prize at last year's New South Wales Literary Awards Le's parents left Vietnam by boat as refugees when he was one year old, eventually settling in Melbourne - an experience he grappled with in the title story of his previous short story collection, 'The Boat'. He spoke to Kate about his upcoming trip to NZ to perform poetry as a part of WORD Christcurch early next month.

The most famous shipwreck in the world is undoubtably the RMS Titanic. Despite sinking 114 years ago, we remain fascinated. What's less well known is the human stories that go along with the vessel.

We've all heard jumping can help build our bones. But here's the catch: the gains don't come from the jumps; they come from how you land. This week we break down the mechanics of bone-building and how to make your skeleton stronger no matter what your age with bone health researcher Tracey Clissold, PhD. Tracey explains what it really takes to turn bone “on” with impact—and why just walking, running, or weight-bearing exercise is not enough for midlife women who want stronger skeletons. We unpack why bones respond to how you land, not just that you jump; what “bone-jarring” stiff, flat-footed landings are, and why they need to happen quickly to stimulate bone remodeling. You'll also hear success stories, including one woman who went from a hip/spine T-score of –3.8 at age 65 to out of the osteoporotic range at 70 using impact, food, and vitamin D—without medications.Tracey Clissold, PhD has over 30 years of academic experience as a lecturer and researcher in Exercise Science, Sports Nutrition and Women's Health. She is currently a lecturer at Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology in New Zealand and is a nutrition consultant for national and international athletes and coaches. Tracey completed a PhD at Auckland University of Technology on ‘The effects of an osteogenic jump-landing programme on bone health in premenopausal women,' and her research is ongoing. She and the OSTEO-GAINS team have created a Women's Bone Health Phone App which is receiving incredible attention in NZ and worldwide. Tracey is the mother of two and has previously represented New Zealand in distance running, winning several national and international marathon titles, including winning the Auckland Marathon four times.

Chosen by Dylan, Once Were Warriors was adapted from Alan Duff's bestselling 1990 novel by screenwriter Riwia Brown. Made for approximately NZ$2 million and filmed over a demanding six-week shoot, it marked the feature-directing debut of Lee Tamahori. Much of the production took place around Ōtara in South Auckland, grounding the film's urban Māori setting in real locations rather than a carefully polished studio version of New Zealand. Rena Owen and Temuera Morrison lead the cast as Beth and Jake Heke, supported by Julian Arahanga, Mamaengaroa Kerr-Bell, Taungaroa Emile and Cliff Curtis.The film became a major domestic success, earning approximately NZ$6.7 million and setting a new record at the New Zealand box office. It swept nine categories at the 1994 New Zealand Film Awards and collected further honours at festivals including Montreal, Durban, Venice and Rotterdam. Its international acclaim launched Tamahori towards Hollywood and helped raise the global profiles of Owen, Morrison and Curtis. More than three decades later, it remains one of New Zealand cinema's most influential, confronting and difficult-to-forget films. Definitely not one to throw on when the family asks for “something light.”TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISIn the streets of South Auckland… one family is fighting a war that nobody outside their home can see.Beth Heke dreams of holding her family together. But her husband Jake is a man of charm, pride and explosive rage—and when the drinking starts, their home becomes a battleground.As their children search for belonging in gangs, institutions and the traditions of their ancestors, Beth must rediscover the strength of the people she came from. This time… being a warrior means knowing what is worth fighting for.FUN FACTSOnce Were Warriors opened in only four New Zealand cinemas, yet still earned a record-breaking NZ$114,000 during its opening run.The house used as the Heke family home was a real state house on O'Connor Street in Ōtara.Local residents reportedly complained about the noise generated while the production filmed the Hekes' late-night parties.Producer Robin Scholes had previously worked mainly in television; this became the first feature released by Communicado Productions.Stuart Dryburgh's cinematography helped him build an international career that later included The Piano, The Painted Veil and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.Temuera Morrison later became internationally recognised as Jango Fett and the clone troopers in the Star Wars franchise.Rena Owen also joined the Star Wars universe, appearing in Attack of the Clones and providing additional voices for the film.Cliff Curtis has portrayed characters from numerous ethnic backgrounds throughout his career, but Once Were Warriors gave him one of his earliest major New Zealand film roles.A sequel, What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?, arrived in 1999, with Morrison and several other cast members returning.A twentieth-anniversary documentary, Once Were the Cast of Warriors, reunited members of the cast in 2014 to examine the film's impact and what happened after its release.SUPPORT THE SHOW If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.

Kurt Eklund has one of the most unique journeys in New Zealand rugby. A Super Rugby champion, Māori All Blacks captain and one of the most respected hookers in the country, Kurt's path to the top was anything but conventional.He spent eight years working as a builder, and admits he never thought professional rugby was a realistic goal. After only starting two games for Auckland across four seasons, a devastating knee injury left him ready to walk away from rugby altogether. But after losing his mum to breast cancer, everything changed. Determined to make her proud, Kurt found a new purpose, reignited his love for the game, and eventually made his Super Rugby debut for the Blues at the age of 28.Some other parts that stood out for me in this episode were…- Why he never believed a professional rugby career was possible- How losing his mum completely changed his outlook on rugby and life- The story behind making and captaining the Māori All Blacks- Winning Super Rugby with the Blues after years of grinding away- Why he's heading to Japan and the next chapter for his young family- His passion for fishing, protecting New Zealand's oceans and life beyond rugby- Plenty more hilarious stories Kurt is one of the most genuine people you'll come across. Humble, funny and incredibly self-aware, his story is a reminder that success doesn't always come early and that everyone's journey looks different. He truely is one of the great lads in NZ rugby!

The All Blacks are here! Confirmed by Ant in a plush Cape Town Virgin Active, the Kiwis have landed are preparing hard for the opening game against the Stormers this week. While the ABs sip cocktails in Clifton, a 26-strong Bok squad is quaffing Malbec in Buenos Aires, readying for their warm up against Argentina. There's more antici…pation than a Rocky Horror number and more hype than an NZ rugby journo's X account as we gear up for the Greatest Rivalry (TM CC LTD PBO). Ant, Andrew, Phil and Dick dive into the build-up to the first test, discussing whether the famous rivalry still deserves its billing and why these fixtures continue to stand apart from every other contest in international rugby. From history and respect to contrasting styles of play, the panel explores what makes South Africa versus New Zealand the benchmark by which every other rivalry is measured. Attention then turns to the rugby itself. Are the Springboks entering the series as deserved favourites? Has Rassie's side reached another level over the past year? And while Dave Rennie's All Blacks have shown encouraging signs, can they tighten up defensively against the most complete team in world rugby? The boys also discuss the contrasting approaches of Super Rugby and test rugby, the role of South Africa's franchises in preparing the All Blacks for what's to come, and why this series feels like a genuine measuring stick for both teams heading into the remainder of the international season. Plus predictions for the series, a look at the key individual battles, and why even in an era of expanded competitions and global tournaments, some matches simply matter more than others.

House prices have fallen four months in a row, and investors are on the sidelines. Is property still Aotearoa's favourite wealth-builder? Independent economist Tony Alexander gives us an overview of the latest data, where 49% of agents are seeing fewer investors, even as first home buyers finally get a break. Find out how the rising cost of debt changes the maths, why older landlords are selling early, and why Tony warns rates could go higher and stay there longer than most forecasters expect. Plus, Auckland's townhouse oversupply, a rise in building consents, and what the looming election could mean for landlords' tax bills.

They discuss how astrology once sat alongside herbal medicine, food, seasonal living and close observation of the natural world as part of a practitioner's medical map.This is not a conversation about newspaper horoscopes or using a birth chart to diagnose disease. Instead, Kira explains how medical astrology may be used as a constitutional and reflective framework for considering temperament, health patterns, resilience, vulnerability and timing. They explore the roles of the four elements, the relationship between planetary cycles and the body, and whether astrology can sometimes provide language for experiences that are not easily captured by standard testing.Drawing on Kira's background in naturopathy and nutrition, they also examine how ancestral knowledge might complement modern healthcare without romanticising the past or abandoning scientific scrutiny. Ultimately, the conversation asks whether health is only about identifying what is wrong with the body, or whether it can also involve understanding the patterns the body may be expressing.Kira is an Australian Naturopath, Nutritionist, Herbalist and Medical Astrologer. Known for her vibrant, straight-forward teaching style, Kira has lectured in Medical Astrology within Australia, North America and Europe.In private practice for over 25 years, Kira combines her knowledge in Natural Medicine with her passion for Medical Astrology into a wonderful mix of mind/body medicine. Kira's Medical Astrology training and mentoring programs attract hundreds of students every year from around the world, with rave reviews about her teaching style and breadth of knowledge and application.

What actually makes a bank a bank? New Zealand is overhauling the way our banking system is regulated, meaning that more organisations may soon be able to call themselves a "bank", while new deposit insurance gives you peace of mind. University of Auckland finance expert Chanelle Duley explains why more competition isn't always straightforward, what to look for when you choose where to put your money, and how regulation and technology could reshape banking over the next decade.

SHARESIES · MARKET MOVEMENTS · 3 AUGUST 2026Jacki Neumann, Head of Capital Markets at Sharesies Note: Filmed Monday 3 August ↑ WHAT’S UP — Equity markets snapped back, with the S&P 500 up around 1%, the Nasdaq up 1.6%, and the ASX 200 gaining 2.3% to break a falling streak. Rio Tinto shared strong results, while Microsoft and Amazon rose on Azure and AWS cloud growth. ↓ WHAT’S DOWN — The 30-year US Treasury yield jumped to its highest level since 2007 as investors demanded more compensation to hold amid lingering inflation doubts. Meta's earnings fell short on legal and AI infrastructure costs and Apple's record quarter was overshadowed by weak guidance. The NZX 50 bucked the trend, slipping 0.5%. ! BIGGEST SURPRISES — The Fed held rates steady despite three votes to hike, and again offered no forward guidance, leaving markets pricing a 65% chance of a September move. In Australia, June quarter CPI came in lower than expected at 3.8%, cutting the odds of an RBA hike by year-end to roughly 60%. ◎ WHAT TO WATCH — More earnings this week, with SpaceX reporting for the first time as a public company, and AMP, ResMed and REA Group due locally. Friday brings July’s US jobs report, a key read on the labour market as the Fed weighs its next move. ◈ BIGGER PICTURE — As long-dated yields hit a 9-year high, the bond market clearly doesn’t believe inflation is beaten. Investors are still responding cautiously to earnings, rewarding Microsoft and Amazon for proving that their AI spending drives revenue, while unenthused about results that don’t show a clear payoff.
