While many high schools across the country have decided to refuse to televise 1st XV rugby matches, Napier Boys' High thinks otherwise. Napier Boys' High has stated that they think televising the 1st XV rugby matches is good for the players' development, and have worked out a deal where one match per week is broadcast on Maori Television. Other Super 8 schools in the central North Island, such as Hastings Boys' High, will be doing something similar with their 1st XV rugby matches. Brendon Ratcliffe, the Director of Rugby at Napier Boys' High School says that televising the matches is good for the players, as they work really hard to get to their current level. As such, Brendon argues that having the matches on TV helps them take pride in their skills. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Historian, Anglican minister, TV presenter and social commentator Dr Hirini Kaa (Ngati Porou, Ngati Kahungunu and Rongowhakaata) has long been interested in the engagement and the interaction between Christianity (and in particular the Anglican Church) and iwi in Aotearoa-New Zealand. This complex and sometimes tense relationship- with claims of religious power, followed by assertions of imperial authority, and degrees of Maori adaptation and transformation- dates back to the time the first English missionaries arrived on these shores back in the early 1800s. It was the subject of his PhD thesis and is now the basis of a book called Te Hahi Mihinare- The Maori Anglican Church. In more recent times Kaa has spoken out on the cannabis and euthanasia referenda and their impact. He also presented, researched and co-wrote the series The Prophets for Maori Television.
