INTERVIEW: Prof. Rangi Mātāmua on new book 'Matariki ki te Ao' by Zac Hoffman on Radio One 91FM Dunedin

e kō, nō hea koe is the debut poetry collection by award-winning slam poet and filmmaker Matariki Bennett (Ngāti Pikiao, Ngāti Whakaue, Ngāti Hinerangi).  Published by Dead Bird Books, e kō, nō hea koe is “a series of goodbyes and attempts to slow the shedding, it's a group of teenagers sparking up as they watch the great pacific garbage patch catapult into space and become a second moon, it's endless conversations with Grandmama about stars, it is the constant rebirth of whakapapa and learning that silence isn't the best part of her.”  Sofia caught up with Matariki about the themes of this body of work and how it came to fruition.

BEST OF TST: Halloween (and thanksgiving) is celebrated around the world in a variety of forms, often in ways westerners, and particularly Americans, would find confusing or out of place. Setsubun in Japan is a spring cleaning festival which helps to cleanse the home of evil spirits, something which, from an American perspective, would incorporate elements of both Imbolc, spring cleaning, and Halloween. Dia de los Muertos in Mexico, Correfoc in Catalonia, Basler Fasnacht in Switzerland, Gai Jatra in Nepal, Matariki in New Zealand,  Fet Gede in Haiti, Awuru Odo in Nigeria, as well as Hungry Ghost in southeast Asia, are all examples of man's attempt to bring in good fortune while purifying himself of evil in the form of ignorance, darkness, cold, and the like.-FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKWEBSITEPAYPALCashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.

2024 was a bit of a rough year, with job losses, hard economic times, and low business confidence. The new year offers a chance to reset. Dr Dougal Sutherland offers his top tips for starting 2025 off with some oomph: If you have a job, count your blessings! Lots of people lost theirs last year and so it's important to remember that even though it may not be the best job in the world, at least you're in paid employment! Plan out your holidays for the year as best you can. Have a look for the public holidays that are happening in 2025, can you make any of these into longer weekends (e.g. four days instead of three) and give yourself that extra time to rest and recover? Looking ahead I can see there is quite a gap of public holidays between Matariki and Labour Day – can you plan for some leave then? Four months is a long time to go without a break, especially in winter. Make a daily ‘Have to, Hope to, Love to list' – “Have to” are things you must do today; “Hope to” are things that you can do if you have time; “Love to” is at least 1 thing per day that fills your cup – make sure to give this as much priority as “Have to”. Take some time to reflect on 2024 – what did you learn from the year? What went well and you would like to keep doing? Anything that you would like to avoid doing again that you did last year? Think about the people in your life – are there some who you would like to see more of? Can you plan ahead to make time for them? On the other hand, is there anyone who it may be better off not to have in your life? Are there some (polite) ways that you ease off these relationships?

Through colonization, hyper capitalism, and unaddressed trauma, many of us have forgotten how to play our part in the orchestra of the natural world. Join a conversation between two remarkable activists and legal practitioners from different continents, working in different communities, but who happen to share a belief in the power of creative expression help us reconnect to the entire web of life. They discuss interdependence, forgotten ways of relating to each other and all species, and how well-harmonized songs can bring delight and balance to the human spirit, to trees and plants and to our fellow fauna. Resources Video of this conversation from the 2024 Bioneers Conference Featuring Erin Matariki Carr, of Ngāi Tūhoe and Ngāti Awa descent, lives in her traditional homelands in Aotearoa/New Zealand and works in law and policy, with a focus on the interface between Indigenous and Western legal systems and methodologies. She previously worked as Manager of Planning & Design to create and implement policies under the world-first legislation conferring legal personhood to the Te Urewera rainforest. Matariki is currently a project lead at RIVER, where she focuses on the constitutional transformation movement in Aotearoa with a number of other teams, including Tūmanako Consultants and Te Kuaka NZA.

The Prime Minister has brushed off his faux pas yesterday, when he seemed to be taking a crack at Australians. Minister Paul Goldsmith was being questioned over removing Māori greetings from his Matariki invitation to an Australian Minister. In his defence, Chris Luxon said in his dealings with Australians, it pays to be incredibly simple. ZB political correspondent Barry Soper said the Government had bigger things to worry about on our shores. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tonight on The Huddle, Ali Jones from Red PR and Matt Heath from Radio Hauraki joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more! The Interislander's Aratere is in hot water again after hitting a ramp docking in Wellington this afternoon. What's really going on here? The Government is requiring new teacher trainees to pass NCEA Level Two maths going forward. Are these measures fair? Do we need our teachers to be better educated? The Australians have responded well to Luxon making a joke at their expense - but the issue of Minister Paul Goldsmith removing Māori language from a Matariki invitation. What do we make of this? A group of Wellington Council members raised eyebrows after they walked out of a contentious meeting - do we agree with this choice?  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Inevitably, the Aussies have picked up on the slur from Chris Luxon, where he said when talking to Aussies - it pays to be ‘incredibly simple'. And they seem to be largely taking in the spirit it's intended, which is just a bit of humour. And it also means Luxon's play worked. Which is - by having a crack at the Aussies to distract us from the actual issue, which is Paul Goldsmith taking Māori words out of the Matariki invitation.Look, let's get to the heart of this, this was a dumb thing for Paul Goldsmith to do. Yeah, I get he might want an invitation from him to be authentic to him and if he doesn't make a habit of going around using Māori words in a tokenistic fashion to show off his inclusivity credentials, then sure, he might want to take out the Te Reo and replace it with English - fair enough.But Paul Goldsmith is going have start being a little bit smarter and strategic about this, because this Government doesn't need a petty issue like this on race relations to deal with. It has got enough going on as it is. A lot of what the Government's doing on race relations is worthy and does need to be done. Repealing the Māori wards, tidying up the Treaty Principles, halting co-governance, putting an end to certain ethnicities getting priority surgery - and they can defend that stuff quite easily on democratic and equal rights grounds.But when Paul Goldsmith does something like taking Māori words out of an invitation - although it may be true to his way of speaking - what he does is he makes this democratic and equal rights reset just look like an anti Māori thing for some people. Now to be fair to him, he's not the only minister who's been caught fighting petty battles like this, he's just the latest.But it would pay for these guys the next time they want to take Māori words out of a document to really think about whether that, if leaked, is something they want to add to the Government's race relations agenda. Because there is a very fine line between appearing to be for equal rights and appearing to be just anti-everything Māori. And frankly, there are much more important things going on in this country right now. An energy crisis, a possible recession, a massive problem in health - just to name a few. But what are we going to remember about this week? Paul Goldsmith's invitation. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

My dear darling sister (with the beautiful name of Roos) sent me a picture from the Netherlands; it was a pretty orange slug hiding inside her robotic lawn mower named Albertus. It came out of the mower to show itself in all its glory.  Roos immediately linked this slug to a complete disaster when she came home from Holidays in France: Albertus had failed to keep up with his task as the grass was a couple of feet from touching the Matariki stars.  Investigation of the inner workings of Albertus showed a heap of soft, sticky and shredded plant material, covered in sloppy slug slime.   It's a great habitat for the mollusc pests in the garden and at the same time a magnificent form of transport to your favourite plants.  In such a wonderful, sheltered spot slugs and snails can have a great theatre for reproduction: eggs will be stuck to all surfaces, and they'll hatch as soon as temperatures are becoming a bit milder…  Photo / Supplied But that was not all that Roos found.  How about a rather large and active ants-nest full of white “eggs” around the battery and other electric wiring! By the way, those white “eggs” are actually the larvae and pupae of the ants; when you disturb an ants-nest they'll run around to save as many babies as they can.  Photo / Supplied These ants may well be the electrical disruptors of your technology. I've seen them short-circuiting a switch in the wall of my old house in Auckland: an ant (accidentally?) touching both switch plates and getting fried in 240 volt, while releasing a “panic smell” of formic acid. This acid also works as a defence mechanism and deterrent against predators (not very effective when you are battling the 240 volts!). The nearby ants respond immediately to this SOS call for help and are also electrocuted.  In the switch you can hear the massacre taking place with each ant increasing the formic acid cloud.  In my wall we vacuumed up hundreds and hundreds of fried ants. The smell was amazing!  You can also imagine that these kind of disruptors can cause the beginning of a fire.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matariki is a holiday we have here in New Zealand to celebrate the Maori New Year. It is an event that causes confusion within the Christian community. Some ignore the holiday, some view it as demonic and some can use it as an opportunity to point their kids to Jesus. In this episode, I unpack what the holiday is, how we should navigate it with our kids as believers and how we are going to use the holiday to point our kids to Jesus. It's an awesome episode and can be relevant for others who have national holidays that cause confusion and how they should navigate it with their kids. I pray this episode blesses you!

I missed you, Matariki is a new exhibition by Levi Kereama and Whiro Walker at Window Gallery in the University of Auckland General Library.  The accompanying text reads: I missed you Matariki. I needed you yesterday. There's been too much mamae. Too much tangi and too much mate. Give me a fresh start, a good feast Give me a glimpse at the ones I've lost and some hope the next season will be a good one Haere mai, tōku Matariki I mokemoke au mōu. Sofia spoke with one of the artists, Levi Kereama, about the kaupapa of the show and his work. 

Max Alexander grew up in Papakura, and has been living in London for the past 30 years. He's back in Aotearoa for the next few weeks to participate in Matariki and add a new section to his exhibition "Our Fragile Space - Protecting the Near-Space" that opened at Lloyds of London and has been shown in Europe and the United States. 

Green Party Co-leader Marama Davidson says she's feeling grateful that her breast cancer will be treated - and she has the care and support to focus on it.  Davidson will work up until Matariki, before a partial mastectomy next month and further treatment.  Breast Cancer Foundation Chief Executive Ah-Leen Rayner told Heather du Plessis-Allan “We take it for granted in metropolitan areas that screening is readily accessible.”  Rayner said that for people living rurally - if you miss mobile-unit screenings, some may have to travel up to three hours.  She said "It's not equitable in terms of access."
