There was a shock announcement this morning that Newshub on Three will be closing down, effective from the end of June. It means the loss of hundreds of jobs. Veteran journalist and television broadcaster Janet Wilson talks to Jesse.
Five weeks on from the election and two weeks since the final vote was confirmed, coalition talks between National, ACT and New Zealand First are still in progress. Incoming Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and NZ First leader Winston Peters met briefly in Auckland over the weekend. ACT leader David Seymour also met with Mr Peters, but there are no signs yet of any agreement between the parties. Unionist and political commentator Shane Te Pou, and media trainer and former National Party press secretary Janet Wilson spoke to Corin Dann.
The fifth annual National Climate Assessment was released and reveals that climate change is already making people sick in the U.S., and sometimes killing people. Grist's Zoya Teirstein joins us. And, a new investigation from ProPublica and The Desert Sun found that just 20 farming families in California's Imperial Valley use more water than some Western states. Janet Wilson, senior environment reporter with The Desert Sun who worked to identify those families, joins us. Then, after devastating wildfires on Maui killed at least 97 people and leveled whole towns, the island is reopening to tourists. Brandon Chu, general manager of the Paia Inn on Maui's North Shore, joins us to talk about recovery efforts.
New Zealanders have voted for change, giving the National party a clear mandate to lead the next government with 50 seats in parliament and just under 39 percent support. Voters have splashed blue across the country, and red seats in the North and South have flipped to National, the Greens and Te Pati Maori. National and ACT together have 61 seats in a 121-seat parliament. Labour support fell to just under 27 percent. Former National Party press secretary and media trainer, Janet Wilson, former ACT Party press secretary Trish Sherson, consultant and former political reporter Scott Campbell, former Labour candidate and political commentator Josie Pagani and former Green MP and now a member of the Wellbeing Economy Alliance Gareth Hughes spoke to Morning Report's post-election special.

Ethan Sellers of Logical Fleadh emailed: "Hey Marc - Just wanted to send a belated thank - you for the Mother's Day spin. Such a nice thing to highlight the women in Celtic music. The strong presence of women - especially instrumentalists - in traditional music is one of the things I really appreciate about the field. Cheers," Ann Peck McBride emailed: "I first heard the podcast about 13 years ago! And it's taken me all this time to become a Patreon member. Sorry, Marc! I'm embarrassed to say I listen to your podcast while I'm doing housework. (It's a treat I give myself so that I'll actually do the housework) I am always surprised at the wonderful new Celtic artists you play. I first listened to you because I needed to hear all the Celtic music I could. I listen now, partly for that reason, and partly because for the last few years, I have co - hosted a Celtic Music Hour program in Salem Oregon, on KMUZ. As my friend (and I think yours) Steve Behrens said, "We've fallen down the rabbit hole of Celtic music!" And here in the Pacific Northwest, we have a LOT of Celtic musicians... Thanks" Debra Roche emailed a photo: "Hello, Mark, I recently played your St Patrick's Day 2023 podcast from SiriusXM and loved it! Many years ago (1985 - 1991)I had opened The Celtic Cottage & Roche's of Ireland in Davenport, & Bettendorf, IA which brought me to do an Irish show at St Ambrose University for their college radio show. How much fun that time in my life was! Whenever you give back to your community it is just the best when your family roots are connected! As my father's parents where from County Limerick Ireland. Glin & New Castle West. Hope you're well and thank you for your music podcast!” Melissa Helman emailed a photo of her dirty dishes: "So exciting, I know. Keep up the great work with the podcast." Christopher Patrick of Salem, MA emailed a couple photos: "Hello Mark! I can't tell you how happy I am to have discovered the ‘Irish & Celtic Music Podcast!' But I'm gonna try, all the same! You see, in my childhood, my 5 siblings and I would get loaded up into our family station wagon every Saturday morning by our mother. She would then proceed to drive us all into Boston for our weekly Irish Step Dancing lessons. Our rides both in and back were spent listening to Boston's AM's radio show, ‘The Irish Hour,' and later, ‘The Irish Hit Parade,' (still on the air to this day!) So, those jigs and reels were ingrained in us in our step dancing, and the other traditional music was from our rides there and home. My mother soon landed us an agent, and we, the six kids, danced all around the Greater Boston area. So, it is no real big surprise that these days, I play in an Irish Music Band with my family. Comprised of myself, my brother, two sisters, and brother - in - law, we perform under the name of ‘FitzBlarney,' based in Salem, Massachusetts. I've attached a coupla' photos for you, too - one of the six of us in our 1970s step - dancing attire, and one from this past St. Patrick's Day, where FitzBlarney played out at The Witches Brew pub in Salem. The music you play means a lot to me, so, I recently became a patron. Just out of appreciation! Thanks again, and ‘Sláinte!' P.S. I would love to one day get on your podcast! That'd be so cool!"
If you want proof that people will see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear, I've got it for you. And it's to do with last night's leaders' debate on TV3. Which, by the way, blew last week's debate on TV1 out of the water, didn't it? Not just because Chris Hipkins appeared to be awake this time. But also because it had a much better structure and didn't waste time on pointless questions about what book the two leaders are reading at the moment. Yes, there was quite a bit of Chris Hipkins and Christpher Luxon talking over eachother. Especially at the start. But Paddy Gower didn't let them get away with not answering questions. Although there were a couple of times when he realised he wasn't going to get an answer. But that spoke volumes and so he let it be. In fact, someone texted me afterwards saying they thought Paddy was the winner on the night. But, right from the start, Chris Hipkins showed that he had obviously listened to Helen Clark who, apparently, called him up after last week's debate and said he'd been as weak as tea and needed to harden up. I made that bit up about her saying he was as weak as tea last week. But it is being reported today that Helen Clark was so unimpressed last week that she got on the blower and gave Hipkins a bit of a talking to. And he listened. And he was much stronger last night. Much stronger. And, as always happens, people are asked who they thought won the thing. Which I'll get to. But first, I've got to say that aside from beating TV1 with the debate itself, TV3 also beat TV1 hands-down when it came to the panel they put together to provide analysis afterwards. You'll remember last week how we had Tau Henare and David Cunliffe going into overdrive with the sporting analogies, which was just cringe-material, wasn't it? Last night, TV3 had Josie Pagani, Julian Wilcox and Janet Wilson. And there were zero sporting analogies. Which was brilliant in itself. And, as I say, the inevitable question was asked: who did they think won? And they all pretty much said Hipkins was the winner. I agreed with them, though, when they said that Hipkins performed more like an Opposition leader and Luxon performed more like a Prime Minister. But, overall, they thought Hipkins was the winner. And then you read all the analysis by all the other political commentators. And they're saying the same thing. Luxon wasn't necessarily bad, but Hipkins upped his game big time from last week and they're all saying he was definitely the winner on the night. Which brings me to what I was saying earlier about people —especially voters— seeing what they want to see and hearing what they want to hear. And the evidence today that that is definitely what happens. There's an online poll running on the NZ Herald website, asking people who they think won last night's debate. And the results, so far, are the complete opposite of what all the commentators are saying. When I last checked, 62% of people were saying that they thought Christopher Luxon won the debate, and 32% were saying Chris Hipkins was the winner. Which I think says a lot about how effective these debates are when it comes to informing voters. I know they're promoted as being the big chance to find out which leader sings from your songsheet, but I don't think they are at all. Wherever you are on the political spectrum, how could anyone think that —based just on what we saw last night— how could anyone think that Chris Hipkins wasn't the winner on the night? Yes, I'm just as tired of Labour as the next person. I'm just as cynical as you are of all the about-turns Labour has done in the last few weeks, desperately trying to stay in government. And, like most people, I think Labour's GST off fruit and veggie policy is just lame. It's sudden interest in having more cops - I think that's rich coming from a party that's been in government for the past six years. In fact, I'll go as far as saying that I don't think Labour even deserves another shot. But, even then, I can still see Chris Hipkins' performance last night for what it was and acknowledge that, yes, he was definitely the winner on the night. But it seems —going by this poll on the Herald website— that the majority of voters can't do that. And that the majority of voters watch things like these televised debates and see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A former National Party press secretary says she doesn't expect Judith Collins to go anywhere soon, despite losing the job of leader of the party. National MPs will elect the party's fifth leader in four years next Tuesday, after a vote of no confidence went against Judith Collins on Thursday. The implosion comes after a late Wednesday night press release from Collins, where she accused MP and former leader Simon Bridges of " serious misconduct" at a party event in Premier House five years ago. Bridges said this was "truly desperate stuff" from Collins who would go to any length to hold on to her leadership. She was forced to step down after her caucus issued a motion of no confidence in her. Janet Wilson became the National Party leader's chief press secretary after Todd Muller rolled Simon Bridges in 2020 and stayed on when Collins took over. She left shortly after the election She has seen all the changes in the party over the last 18 months and has been highly critical of Collins' leadership. Despite that she told Morning Report Collins did well at the start of her tenure as leader to guide MPs through the election period. It was after that when things went bad. Wilson said Collins admitted the party needed renewal but did not provide it. She does not expect many changes from Collins post demotion either. "What she'll do is she'll lay low for a while, but the planning and scheming and lack of judgment that is sort of part of her, her leadership, will come to the fore again. "She's always been a bit player within that caucus, and she's always been a schemer, so to speak. I would expect her to be a malignant force on the back bench eventually. "I don't think she's going anywhere fast."

Today Melanie talks with Pediatric Optometrist, Dr. Janet Wilson, who has practiced as a developmental functional vision specialist over the past 13 years. Janet is also mother to a 3-year old son and is actively parenting a low-tech lifestyle with him. Janet discusses how visual development is linked to other childhood developmental milestones that actually assist children in gaining 17 visual skills as they grow. She goes on to explain what is at risk when we interrupt child development with exposure to hand-held screens and how we may be unknowingly affecting our children's lifelong skill development. Janet also identifies three problem areas she sees in her field of practice that are related to the overuse of screens: vision and learning, the increase in diagnosis of myopia or nearsightedness, and the increase in dry-eye disease in teenagers. This episode is wonderfully educational as well as encouraging parents to protect eye health by less exposure to screens and more interactive play in nature and in our daily lives as we are raising our children.

One word: Why? Why did Janet Wilson give that interview to the Spinoff? This is not good strategy.Janet Wilson was Judith Collins' press secretary during the last election campaign. She was asked by the Spinoff news website for an interview and declined. But after Collins had a go at Siouxsie Wiles last week, out of the blue on Saturday, Janet text the Spinoff and said yes.In the interview… she slates Collins. She says Collins "prizes loyalty above all else. But then her ugly stepsister, paranoia, steps in, and she has these almost paranoid storms."And then this assessment of the party's problem: "The enemy is within, it's not outside. Act is merely capitalising on what's happening within the Nats at the moment and their complete lack of discipline on all levels."None of it is particularly enlightening. I didn't learn anything I didn't already know. I already knew – and I'd imagine you did too, that Collins is erratic in her strategy and either doesn't' take advice or takes bad advice. So, there's very little value in the content. The interview's only real worth is that it is shocking how badly this party is disintegrating.But, it's rich of Janet Wilson to accuse to the Nats of a lack of discipline when she gives an interview like this.I can only hazard a guess at why Janet did this, and my guess is that she decided she needed to distance herself from Collins reputationally, that she needed to put it out there that none of Collins' bad calls were because of her advice. I'm not sure this will work. This is not reputation enhancing. This is a bad call.It never looks good when a former staffer turns on the boss. Look at Dominic Cummings turning on Boris Johnson in a series of repeat public attacks. Who came out of that worse? Cummings did. In this case, the real victim is the National Party. Because the more people associated with that party turn on each other like this, the less trust people have in the entire lot of them.
John MacDonald had his weekly interview with National Party Leader, Judith Collins.They discussed the Māori Party petition to rename New Zealand to Aotearoa, the Covid elimination vs. suppression strategies and Janet Wilson's recent public comments about her time working for the National Party.LISTEN ABOVE
Janet Wilson is an experienced journalist and public relations consultant who last year took on the role of chief press secretary for the National Party during their ill-fated election campaign, working first under the leadership of Todd Muller, then Judith Collins. In this episode she joins Duncan Greive for an explosive interview in which she discusses Collins' leadership as a threat to the party's very existence, and assesses both the bizarre 2020 campaign (the prayer, the Ponsonby Road walk) and the way the party has ignored the lessons of its drubbing in favour of an autocratic focus on loyalty tests.The Fold couldn't be made without the support of The Spinoff Members.

Johanna Moise, a native Floridian, spent 17 years dancing and ultimately moved to New York City to follow a career in the arts. Throughout the episode, Johanna and I discuss the tug of war she finds not only between the arts and sciences but the battle between her aspirations and the expectations of a systemically oppressed society. While the American Dream lends credibility to a decadent life, Johanna reveals how she uses her identity to reinvent what the American Dream means to her. Johanna stands where she does today due to the immense perseverance she embodies as a Black woman succeeding in the arts industry.
I want to take a moment to speak directly to all of you about recent events. Eric Garner. Michael Brown. Trayvon Martin. Freddie Gray. Janet Wilson. Pamela Turner. Christopher Whitfield. Breonna Taylor. Ahmaud Arbery. George Floyd. Their deaths alongside the deaths of countless others at the hands of the police and the hands of fearful White people are tragic, intolerable, and remembered. These black lives matter. ALL black lives matter. These black experiences matter. ALL black experiences matter. These black voices matter. ALL Black voices matter. These black stories matter. ALL black stories matter. As I continue to record and produce episodes with people from all across our country writing stories for all different children, I want to reiterate my commitment to using this platform to lift marginalized voices and their stories. This work is ongoing, though it is also of the moment, and I will continue to communicate my value of these stories and these voices through the interviews I conduct and share in the weeks and months and years to come, bringing you voices speaking their truths, speaking for justice and visibility, sharing stories that see and lift up our children, especially those who so seldom are seen and lifted up. I encourage you to listen again to voices you’ve heard on this show. Voices like Cheryl and Wade Hudson and their book WE RISE, WE RESIST, WE RAISE OUR VOICES. Voices like ANGELA JOY and her book BLACK IS A RAINBOW COLOR. Voices like Breanna J. McDaniel and her book HANDS UP! Voices like TONY MEDINA and his graphic novel I AM ALPHONSO JONES. And voices like MAHOGANY BROWNE and her book WOKE: A YOUNG POET’S GUIDE TO JUSTICE. These and other books are here and have been here for you and for readers. There are other exceptional books, for more than I could possibly cover through interviews on this show, but I will continue to bring forward and lift up those books that are changing our world by seeing our kids and affirming their beauty and strength and world-changing presence. For now and for always, in solidarity.
Black Lives Matter. If hearing that bothers you, then this episode/podcast isn't for you, because that's what we're going to be talking about for the first hour or so in this episode. The murder of George Floyd, BreonnaTaylor, Eric Garner, Atiana Jefferson, Tamir Rice, Mya Hall, Janet Wilson, and COUNTLESS other Black People is unacceptable! So read the room because we have a LOT to say! Also, you know it gets real when you go and piss off LeVar Burton!!!

Documentary celebrating the Irish aid worker who saved the lives of many Jewish children during WW11 "It’s estimated that at least 80 children were directly saved by Mary Elmes. She never sought any attention for her actions, and her story has only recently become known". In her new radio documentary feature, ‘Mary Elmes’, premiering this weekend on Newstalk 106-108fm as part of the Documentary On Newstalk Series, producer Bairbre Flood tells the extraordinary true story of Irish relief worker, Mary Elmes, who smuggled dozens of children to safety during WW2. The radio premiere of ‘Mary Elmes’ airs on Newstalk 106-108fm on Sunday 31st May at 7am, with a repeat broadcast airing on Saturday 6th June at 9pm. Podcast goes live after first broadcast. In ‘Mary Elmes’, producer Bairbre Flood tells the story of the only Irish person recognised as ‘Righteous Among the Nations’ for saving Jewish children during the Holocaust. Mary Elmes, Irish Aid Worker credited with saving the lives of many Jewish children during World War 2 Mary Elmes was an Irish aid worker credited with saving the lives of dozens of Jewish children during the Holocaust, by hiding them in the boot of her car. A fascinating character for many reasons, her work during the Spanish Civil War and then in Rivesaltes Refugee Camp in the South of France are noteworthy even in themselves. But it’s for risking her life, rescuing Jewish refugees who were being sent to concentration camps that she’ll be most remembered. Her story raises all kinds of questions about moral courage and humanitarianism - and contrasts sharply with the official policy of the Irish government during the Holocaust. Producer Bairbre Flood talks to Ronald Friend and Charlotte Berger-Greneche (two of the people whose lives she saved), her biographers Clodagh Finn and Paddy Butler, her family, long-time Quaker researchers Bernard and Janet Wilson, Mervyn O’Driscoll (Head of History, UCC), and Heino Schonfeld of the Holocaust Education Trust Ireland. It’s estimated that at least 80 children were directly saved by Mary Elmes. She never sought any attention for her actions, and her story has only recently become known. ‘She was not alone. There were a lot of people doing the same thing with her. She couldn’t do all that without other people,’ - Mary’s daughter, Caroline. Caroline pointed out that her mother never desired recognition for her work, eschewing a saviour narrative, and acknowledging the many people who worked together to do what they could under dire circumstances. And yet, there’s no doubt Mary Elmes was a remarkable woman - a humanitarian who ‘had a tremendous ability and persistence to do what was right,’ as her cousin, Mark Elmes puts it. ‘She stuck with it through thick and thin, and all she was concerned about were the victims. The radio premiere of ‘Mary Elmes’ airs on Newstalk 106-108fm on Sunday 31st May at 7am, with a repeat broadcast airing on Saturday 6th June at 9pm. Podcast goes live after first broadcast.

Dr. Jack Kevorkian is a polarizing figure. Some call him a murderer. They think he earned the nickname “Dr. Death.” But to others, Dr. Kevorkian was a compassionate man who performed a necessary service. Over his lifetime, Kevorkian assisted in the suicides of more than 100 terminally ill patients. He was a champion of the right to die movement. But Kevorkian’s detractors were loud and powerful, and took him to court several times. Next, put that syrup away. Brandi’s talking about the other IHOP — the International House of Prayer. In the winter of 2012, a young nurse named Bethany Deaton was discovered dead in her car. Police discovered a suicide note, along with a few bottles of pills. But did Bethany really take her own life? She had so much to live for. She’d just gotten married, she was at the start of a promising career, and she was part of IHOP’s tight-knit church. In fact, she and her charismatic husband, Tyler, were part of an even more tight-knit religious group, known as “the community.” Days after Bethany’s body was discovered, Micah Moore came forward. He said that he’d killed Bethany — under the instruction of her husband, Tyler. But as Micah’s trial grew closer, he recounted those statements. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.

Peter s lunch guests are in very non traditional aspects of the entertainment industry. Mike Dardant is a magician. His abilities with sleight of hand, comedy, and pickpocketing have earned him International awards, as well as character roles and consulting jobs on films and music videos. Janet Wilson is Executive Director of an improv comedy troupe called Funny Bones. Don t call Ticketmaster looking for tickets to a Funny Bones show. Funny Bones performances are free. But you have to be child in a hospital to get to see them. New Orleans is home to all kinds of new and innvoative entrepreneurial businesses. Comedy and magic hearken back to an age and centuries past that pre date the internet and NOLA the brain gain, but Janet and Mike are taking both comedy and magic to, literally, places they have never been.
