Kmart is walking back some of its product recalls following an asbestos contamination scare with kids play sand products. The retail giant is cancelling it's voluntary recall notice for three products. Kmart has informed the Ministry of Business that testing comissioned by the company confirmed no asbestos was found. However, a recall is still in place for some other products. MBIE's Product Safety Spokesperson Ian Cpalin spoke to Lisa Owen.

The production converted an abandoned Kmart in Bismarck into a full movie studio, complete with a snow landscape, lighting rigs, VFX elements, and even horses brought inside for filming. Local audiences will appreciate the creativity of turning a forgotten building into something new. Dundon also spoke about what it means to bring the film home. From her years at Bethelehem Catholic High School to the Freddy Awards to her breakout in Getting Grace with Dan Roebock (who has also been on our podcast), she credits the Valley for giving her the foundation to take on roles like this one.

A Lower Hutt mum whose kids' Kmart play sand tested positive for asbestos says she's stressed out and worried about whether she's done enough to make sure her kids and house are safe. Several coloured sand products have been recalled over the contamination scare. Kmart is the main retailer involved and has sold 67,000 units of the potentially asbestos laced sand play sand. Keren Lee, who's sand has tested positive for asbestos, spoke to Lisa Owen. 

Nick welcomes back the always delightful Stephen Tobolowsky, who slips right into the conversation like he never left. They trade memories about the moviegoing rituals they shared as kids, revisit his early film work on “Josh and Sam,” and dig into the unforgettable day he performed on Broadway for a group of Hispanic schoolchildren who had never seen a play before, complete with Buck Henry running a post-show Q&A. Tobo also talks about the projects he has coming up on both the big and small screens. Esmeralda Leon later joins Nick for a round of Black Friday horror tales that feel equal parts shocking and strangely familiar. There's a sucker punch at Sears, a kid left behind at K-Mart, and even a customer who stepped over a dying person to grab a bargain at Target. Holiday cheer takes many forms, apparently. [Ep 407]

There's an issue burning away at the moment, affecting thousands or tens of thousands of us that I don't think is getting anything like the attention it deserves. Three additional coloured sand products tested positive for asbestos contamination this week. Two on Monday, another on Thursday. Additional brands sold at discount shops around the country to add to the products already announced in the recall earlier this month. I'll put my cards on the table: our 8-year-old is at a school that has been affected by the recall. They tested and found traces of asbestos and a number of classrooms have been affected. Even though the testing found no traces of asbestos in the air, for at least the remainder of the year, the school has been thrown into a situation where they're trying to teach the same number of kids in far fewer classrooms. It means ad-hoc, cramped learning spaces. In two classrooms they're going to have to remove all the carpet, wall coverings, and soft furnishings. Other classrooms require professional deep-cleans. It's not clear if the work will be finished in time for term one next year and the clean-up is going to cost tens-of-thousands of dollars. But as we were informed in a letter home this week —surprise, surprise— no one wants to pay for it. The school's insurance won't cover it. The Ministry of Education won't cover it. Kmart, which in the school's case had sold the dangerous product, has directed them to the manufacturer in China. As it stands, the school is expecting to have to cover the cost of the clean-up. Money that should have been spent on educating children will not be repaid. How many New Zealand schools face a similar situation? All we know is that as of yesterday, nine schools or early learning centres had tested positive for asbestos. 129 were still waiting to confirm testing results, although the Ministry of Education says it's just a voluntary reporting system at the moment (which seems inadequate!), so the number could be higher. You can hardly blame the schools for the situation. They weren't negligent. It's not like they knowingly painted their classrooms with lead paint. They bought a children's product that should have been ideal for creative learning from reputable retailers with an entirely reasonable expectation that it would be safe. And now that this has been discovered, it's not like they can just ignore it. Schools that are testing are doing the right thing. Even if the risk is super low, what parent would allow their child to be taught in a classroom that was testing positive for asbestos? What teacher would teach in it? In my view it would be a great injustice if the schools that are doing the right thing in handling this crisis ended up significantly out of pocket. Surely under our consumer guarantee and product safety laws, retailers can't simply abdicate all responsibility and palm off the affected schools to distant manufacturers in China? And even if legally they can, then surely there is a moral responsibility to do the right thing. One obvious measure I think would help the affected schools is a collective legal effort, so they're not all fighting for redress or compensation in isolation. It's the sort of thing you'd reasonably expect the Ministry of Education to help with coordinating once testing results are confirmed everywhere. There's no telling where this whole thing will end up. But while at least their classrooms will be safe, if schools end up footing the bill for all the testing and clean-up of a product they reasonably trusted, at the end of the day it'll be our kids who pay the price.

Retail giant Kmart has been accused of violating customers' privacy with its use of facial recognition. The company says it trialled the technology to tackle increased theft and fraud and is considering appealing the Privacy Commissioner's ruling. - রিটেইল জায়ান্ট কেমার্টের বিরুদ্ধে অভিযোগ উঠেছে, তারা চেহারা শনাক্তকরণ প্রযুক্তি ব্যবহার করে গ্রাহকদের গোপনীয়তা লঙ্ঘন করেছে। কোম্পানিটি জানিয়েছে, চুরি ও প্রতারণা বেড়ে যাওয়ায় তা মোকাবিলার জন্য তারা পরীক্ষামূলকভাবে এই প্রযুক্তি ব্যবহার করেছিল। এছাড়া, তারা প্রাইভেসি কমিশনারের রায়ের বিরুদ্ধে আপিল করার বিষয়টি বিবেচনা করছে।

Are you a successful medical professional or leader trapped by the "golden handcuffs" of your high-income, high-demand career? In this episode of The Willpower Project, host Will Humphreys welcomes Clint Harris, a former medical sales professional who built his own off-ramp to achieve financial, time, and location independence.Clint, who spent 16 years selling medical devices, realized the unsustainable nature of trading time for money. He and his wife strategically invested in real estate—starting with single-family homes and eventually building a portfolio of short-term rental properties and a property management company.Now, as the co-founder of Nomad Capital, Clint has shifted focus to a high-scale, less-headache model: converting vacant big-box retail buildings (like Kmart) into climate-controlled self-storage facilities using syndication.Listen in as Clint breaks down the powerful, yet often misunderstood, world of real estate syndication. Learn why seasoned investors, including the "Sharks" on Shark Tank, consistently point to real estate as the ultimate foundation for wealth creation and generational financial velocity. Clint offers a transparent look at the pros and cons of passive real estate investing and how busy, high-net-worth individuals can leverage their capital to grow wealth without sacrificing their valuable time.Key Takeaways You'll Learn:The Problem with Golden Handcuffs: Understanding the cycle of trading more time for more money, and why it's a barrier to true freedom.The Three Components of Real Estate Success: Why you need a combination of time, experience, and money, and how syndication allows you to leverage other people's time and experience.Syndication Explained: What it is, why it's a powerful tool for diversification, and how busy professionals can get started without becoming real estate experts.The Power of Conversion: Why Clint's strategy of converting old retail spaces into self-storage is so lucrative, yielding potential double to triple returns on asset valuation.The Difference in Valuation: Learn why commercial real estate, unlike residential, is valued by Net Operating Income (NOI) and a market cap rate—and how operators can force appreciation by increasing rents.Passive Investor Returns: What a typical investment profile looks like, from minimum investment amounts to projected annualized returns (often in the 15-20% range) and how the "general partners" (like Clint) make their money.Focusing on Independence of Purpose: Clint shares the deeper motivation behind his financial goals: creating a life of freedom, travel, and empathy to raise better humans.Don't Invest Blindly: Clint's crucial advice on vetting operators based on their ethics, transparency, and communication—not just the glossy deal sheet.Leveraging Retirement Funds: How you can use self-directed 401ks and IRAs for alternative investments to diversify beyond volatile paper assets.As Will wisely notes, "If you have any money that's sitting in a bank account, you're losing money with inflation."

The head of the Principal's Federation is calling for the government to pay for asbestos testing and clean-ups in schools after a contamination scare with kids play sand. Retail giant Kmart has sold 67,000 units of the potentially asbestos laced sand. It's being recalled along with 4000 unites of other similar products. President of the New Zealand Principals' Federation Leanne Otene spoke to Lisa Owen.

It has been revealed Kmart has sold tens of thousands of potentially asbestos laced children's play things. The retail giant confirmed it has sold 67,000 units of coloured children's sand that are now part of massive recall that was expanded even further today. That number doesn't include suspect products sold through different retailers. Some councils have now set up drop-off sites for the recalled products. MBIE's Product Safety Spokesperson Ian Caplin spoke to Lisa Owen.

Asbestos is highly carcinogenic, is banned and can't be imported in Australia. But in the last week it's been found in various children's coloured sand products from China, causing a major alarm across the community. The discovery has led to the closure of dozens of schools and products have been recalled from stores including Kmart, Target and Officeworks.Today, Associate Professor Anthony Linton from the Asbestos and Dust Diseases Research Institute on the health risks the sand poses and why every state is dealing with it differently.Featured: Anthony Linton, academic and research director at the Asbestos and Dust Diseases Research Institute

Dismayed parents are grappling with whether their homes could be contaminated as they try to rid them of play sand that could have traces of asbestos. They are angry and feel there has been no real responsibility taken for the dodgy sand, and that the buck has been passed. 24 schools and 16 early childhood centres have closed - or have plans to - after a significant recall last week of educational colours rainbow sand, creatistics coloured sand and four products from K-Mart. They're going through special testing, but some parents want to know why the same isn't being offered to them. Kim Baker Wilson reports.

Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Jennie Moreton and Rajorshi Chakraborti. First up, schools are shut and inspectors are carrying out urgent assessments across the motu, after Kmart recalled a kids sand product due to the presence of asbestos. Laura Gemmell, chief executive of Eco Choice, warns that these kinds of chemicals are in more products than you might think. Then, the Green Party has launched a policy to repeal new fast-track mining projects. Minerals West Coast manager Patrick Phelps shares his two cents.

The first-ever Super Kmart in America once stood in Aaron's hometown of Medina, Ohio—a place where he grew up under blue light specials and late-night wanderings with friends. Years after the store shut down, seagulls claimed the empty parking lot, and his daughter renamed it the “Seagull Zoo.” Now that the building has been torn down and replaced by Meijer, Aaron is left wondering—stores may change, but do the memories, and the moments we share in them, ever really fade?

In this episode of The Storykeeper on Words on a Wire, host Tim Z. Hernandez sits down with poet, performer, and educator Darren J. de Leon to explore his new collection The Hoops and Crosses of Mt. Vernon (Hinchas Press, 2025). Blending poetry and fiction, de Leon's debut offers vivid portraits of life in San Bernardino's working-class neighborhoods and the formative tensions of growing up between danger and possibility.De Leon reads from his stories “Kmart” and “This Street Does Not Go Through,” weaving memories of skateboarding under the glow of a department-store sign with reflections on inheritance, family, and survival. He discusses how his years teaching youth “in risk” shaped his desire to write for young adults—those on the edge of choices that can determine their futures. For de Leon, language itself becomes liberation: “There are no laws in poetry, only the word.”The conversation traces his journey from the Mission District classroom to San Francisco's electrifying 1990s spoken-word scene, where he co-founded the avant-garde ensemble Los Delicados. With Hernandez, de Leon revisits that era's fusion of poetry, politics, punk energy, and Afro-Cuban rhythm that redefined Latinx performance art.The episode closes with de Leon's powerful reading of a coming-of-age poem about youth, desire, and self-discovery—an echo of the book's central themes: voice, risk, and the freedom to define one's own story.

In this episode of MAFFEO DRINKS, host Chris Maffeo speaks with Hunter Gregory, Bar Manager at Maybe Sammy in Sydney, Australia, about scaling cocktail culture beyond the usual suspects and making premium cocktails accessible to everyday drinkers.The conversation explores Sydney's cocktail scene positioned "10 years behind London" despite having quality bars that rival global standards, but revealing how average consumers struggle with understanding enhanced cocktail experiences just like other cities.Hunter shares the origin story of Maybe Sammy's transformation from a serious hotel-style bar to an energetic showmanship destination when founder Stefano Catino bought a bubble gun from Kmart and decided "f**k it, let's have some fun."We examine the strategic use of mini martinis during happy hour as a trust-building gateway that gradually brings guests on a cocktail journey from classics to experimental drinks like milk-washed Negroni, Americano with Vegemite macadamia milk.The discussion covers how Asian cocktail trends increasingly influence Australian bars as European bartenders migrate eastward, the philosophy of "your guests are not always right, but they're always your guests," and why the shift from serving gin and tonics at 10pm to serving complex cocktails throughout the night represents six years of earned trust.Hunter provides insights on breaking down intimidating cocktail menus, managing consumer expectations around "serious" bar environments, and understanding that people seek experiences that make them feel better rather than just drinks.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction: Scaling Cocktail Culture to Wider Audiences02:15 Sydney Cocktail Scene: 10 Years Behind London06:30 Australian Drinking Culture: Amazing Bars vs Everyday Pubs09:45 The Demographic Challenge: Experience vs Getting Drunk13:20 Asian Influence on Australian Cocktail Trends17:40 Maybe Sammy Origin Story: From Stuffy to Fun21:25 The Bubble Gun Moment: Breaking Hotel Bar Barriers24:50 Show Business Philosophy: Serious About Craft, Not Ourselves28:10 Mini Martini Strategy: Building Trust Through Happy Hour32:15 Guest Journey: From Classics to Experimental Over Six Years35:40 Wrap up: Making Cocktail Culture Accessible and Fun

We're less than a week away from Halloween, and that's a big night for both children and adults. The kids go for the candy, and the adults go for the party with the wild costumes. I've never been a big fan of Halloween, and that goes back to my younger days when we all wore those costumes you bought at Kmart or even the grocery store. You know the ones with the mask that had the elastic string that went around the back of your head. I didn't like the masks because I wore glasses, and that didn't make things fun. Today, it's big business with those Spirit Halloween stores popping up nearly every block...

Have you ever wondered if you can use home equity to buy something else you need… like a car? The low interest rate makes it sound like the ultimate hack, but would it really be the money win it feels like... or are you just turning a car loan into a decades-long debt trap? We’ve got the receipts. And just when we thought we’d seen it all, a community member slid into our DMs with a first-birthday invite that came with a twist: instead of saying no presents, it asked for something that we'd never heard of before. Is it genius, or the kind of ick that makes you want to run to Kmart for a noisy plastic toy out of spite? We’re divided, the community’s divided, and you’re definitely going to have thoughts. Of course, it wouldn’t be Friday without your fave money wins, broke tips and a sprinkle of our signature unhinged chaos to kick off the weekend.Need the team’s take on your money dilemma?

Today's episode is for the scrappy, heart-on-fire entrepreneur who knows there's treasure hidden in places no one else dares to look. You see, I grew up learning to spot potential where most saw "junk." From yard sales with my dad to watching my mom transform discarded plants into a blooming garden, I learned that value isn't about what something looks like—it's what you make of it.And guess what? That's the SAME mindset I use to build my business.In this solo episode, I take you on a trip down memory lane—back to Kmart garden centers, tiny motorhomes, and our thousand-square-foot family home—to share the unexpected ways my childhood shaped how I show up as a CEO. I talk about what it means to “sift through the dirt” and why being willing to do what others won't is the ultimate business edge.We cover:The unexpected connection between thrifting and scalingWhy you need to embrace imperfect, slow growthMy 3-part content plan that gets me results (and it's NOT glamorous!)How to treat your “weeds” like potential bloomsThis episode isn't just about nostalgia—it's about real business strategy rooted in grit, consistency, and seeing what others overlook.

The New Orleans rock band Zebra has always existed out of time. Despite having one of the fastest selling debuts in Atlantic Records' history, Zebra never really fit in with the glammed up ‘80s metal bands they were being lumped in with on the pages and airwaves of Hit Parader and MTV. But that apparent inability to fit in may be exactly what endeared them to hordes of avid listeners who would wear out their bare bones cassette of ZEBRA and eventually go to Kmart and stealthily rip open a vinyl copy of the record to steal the lyric sheet so he could figure out what Randy Jackson was singing. Okay. We may be talking about Scott here. ANYWAY — this week we're thrilled to welcome Mr. Jackson to the podcast to talk about the 50th anniversary of Zebra, recording with Jack Douglas, being a rock band in New Orleans, being a rock band in Long Island, befriending Twisted Sister, touring with Cheap Trick, seeing The Beatles live, being forced to talk about Bon Jovi, and the lyrical prowess of the Moody Blues. And more black beans.
