Shaped by the forces of 1970s Ireland and by a mother raging against her hemmed-in life, broadcaster, writer and podcaster Noelle McCarthy escaped Ireland for party town Auckland in the early 2000s – seeking a new world far away from the cultural fabric of her homeland. Many years later, and now a mother herself and a recovering alcoholic, she returns to bid her mother farewell and to reckon with her ghosts. The resulting memoir, 'Grand', is a moving meditation on mothers and daughters, on running away and homecoming, on the generational legacies we each carry. McCarthy speaks with Emma Espiner. SUNDAY 28 AUGUST 2022 – 12.30-1.30PM KIRI TE KANAWA THEATRE, AOTEA CENTRE

In the gladiatorial arena of film direction, where women have often been treated as invisible, New Zealand auteur Jane Campion has blazed a pioneering trail. The first woman to win the Palme d'Or for The Piano, and the second to ever be nominated for a directing Oscar, Campion's latest triumph is The Power of the Dog, inspired by Thomas Savage's 1967 novel of the same name. Winning her a legion of awards, including a Venice Silver Lion, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, an Academy Award and a Critics Choice Award, it's a powerful exploration of toxic masculinity, and of love, grief and sexuality – all themes that she has explored in a potent body of work that also includes Sweetie, Holy Smoke, An Angel at My Table, Top of the Lake, Bright Star and In the Cut. Returning home, she joins Noelle McCarthy in conversation to discuss her artistic inheritances, guiding principles and preoccupations. Supported by Platinum Patrons Pip Muir & Kit Toogood.

Can reality television really be feminist? Former Bachelorette Lexie Brown talks about her journey of being packaged up for TV, what the show was like, and why things didn't last with the man she chose.

Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. Terrific story set in the 1960's about Elizabeth Zott (it's fiction) who's a real force of nature. Her dream of a career in science is thwarted when she's unmarried and pregnant and then given the chance to host a TV cooking show to which she brings all her scientific principles and sets about educating a generation of women (combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride). It's very funny while making some serious points about women's place in the world. Grand by Noelle McCarthy. She's an Irish born New Zealand broadcaster and this is her memoir of her relationship with her mother and alcohol. It's superbly written and incredibly brave. Steve Braunias at Newsroom is calling it the best book of the year so far, but also reckons it will still be that by the end of the year. 

For a generation raised on the white faces and stick-thin models of women's mags, there's a lot to unpack. Former 'Woman' magazine assistant editor Siena Yates talks about how she brought some mana wāhine to the glossy pages. And what that meant.

Claire talks to Jesse about the new Lloyd Jones novel and Noelle McCarthy's memoir 'Grand'. She's also got a couple of online reads she wants to share as well.

"I'll be grand, girl, I've great faith," Noelle McCarthy's mother Carol told her just before she died. Raised in the Irish city of Cork, Noelle “ran away” to New Zealand as a young woman, but things changed when her mother gets sick. The writer and broadcaster explores "mothers and daughters, drinking, birth and loss, running away and homecoming" in her new memoir Grand: Becoming My Mother's Daughter.

1 November 2020 | WORD Christchurch Spring Festival The ongoing containment of the coronavirus pandemic in Aotearoa has been in no small part due to the co-operation of what Jacinda Ardern affectionately calls our ‘team of five million’. It has been a triumph in communication, with clear messaging that New Zealanders have followed. An essential part of this effort is the work of Dr Siouxsie Wiles and cartoonist Toby Morris (The Spinoff), whose comics and animations have gone viral (excuse the pun) around the world. They discuss their strategy and challenges with Noelle McCarthy.

1 November 2020 | WORD Christchurch Spring Festival Elizabeth Knox has one of the most singular voices in New Zealand fiction. In The Absolute Book, she once again pulls off the undefinable, with an urgently relevant novel that is part fantasy, part thriller, and part meditation on books, libraries and the environment. Don’t miss her conversation with Noelle McCarthy in our own library, Tūranga, and witness this incredible mind at work.

A master of moral complexity, Sarah Perry spent her childhood in a strict Baptist community, removed from contemporary culture and steeped in Old English literature and the King James Bible. The upbringing has unsurprisingly deeply influenced her writing style, described as making the reader “alive to the strangeness of the world and of our history” (The DailyTelegraph). The author of three novels, including the bestselling 2017 British Book Awards Book of the Year The Essex Serpent, and Melmoth, Perry talks with Noelle McCarthy on harnessing the power of myth, religion and mystery.

Andrew Sean Greer’s 2018 Pulitzer Prize winning novel Less has amassed a legion of fans, among them Ann Patchett, David Sedaris, and Armistead Maupin. The judges declared it “A generous book, musical in its prose and expansive in its structure and range, about growing older and the essential nature of love.”The same could be said of Greer’s five other works of fiction: tales that joust playfully with time, loss, love and family, and with notions of escape and confinement. He speaks with Noelle McCarthy about his work, and the wisdom to be found in the fabric of a life. Supported by Platinum Patron Sir James Wallace.

In the final episode of the Good Ancestors podcast, Noelle McCarthy spoke to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern about the role of young people and the role of politics in responding to climate change. Young people are ready to confront the reality of a future with climate change.  But they are increasingly frustrated by institutions that appear unable or unwilling to make the necessary changes. Last month tens of thousands of high school students demonstrated across the country, taking a day off school to demand more action from the government to prevent global warming. On that day Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern spoke to a crowd of protesting students in New Plymouth. She believes politics does offer the solution. She says there’s a dynamic between the school strikes and the underpinning obligations that any democracy has to its citizens. “My response to them, when I saw them in Taranaki, was “keep marching”.  I still stand by that statement – this is the next generation’s nuclear-free moment – but there are some distinct differences.  There was a real sense of consensus, certainly within New Zealand, around nuclear-free, whereas climate change, we still have to make sure that we are bringing people with us. There is that sense of urgency – and yes, it’s incumbent on us as a government to act,” she says on this episode of Good Ancestors.   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Taonga that have shaped our identity. Noelle McCarthy celebrates Te Papa's 20th birthday by talking to 20 New Zealanders about 20 treasures that help tell our nation's story.

It's obvious that immigration has changed New Zealand in the past. But it's difficult to foresee how it will change us in the future. Where will the debate go and can we move past racism? What role will the media play? How will the questions we ask now shape immigration policy in the future? In the final episode of Slice of Heaven, Noelle McCarthy asks; where do we go from here?

New Zealand is one of the great immigrant nations. Everyone here has a link to someone from somewhere else. But that doesn't mean everyone can agree on who should get to come here next. In the third episode of Slice of Heaven, Noelle McCarthy investigates immigration in New Zealand and asks; when we build a nation by inviting people in, do we know how it will turn out?

Immigration is a hot topic coming up to the election but just talking about it can be a tense experience. In episode two of Slice of Heaven, a 4-part podcast series for RNZ in association with Massey University, Noelle McCarthy asks what those tensions are, who is stoking them and why are we so touchy about it all?

With record migration and a fast-growing population, Aotearoa/New Zealand is changing. How that will look depends upon the interplay between people here now and those who want to come. So who is coming and does it matter? What is the ideal number of people, what benefits will we see and where are the potential flash points? Can we rely on political leadership to steer us in the right direction? In this four-part podcast series for RNZ in association with Massey University, Noelle McCarthy investigates the state of immigration in New Zealand and asks - when it comes to our Slice of Heaven, is there enough to go around?

Pulitzer-prize winning journalist and author of the groundbreaking Backlash Susan Faludi has now produced a memoir. In 2004, she received an email – with the subject line “Changes” – from her long-estranged Hungarian father telling her he had undergone gender-reassignment surgery and changed his name from Steven to Stephanie. In the Darkroom is the sometimes funny, often painful tale of a father and daughter reacquainted in interesting circumstances, set against the backdrop of resurgent extremism in Europe. Faludi charts a complex negotiation of identity and history across the span of a decade. She speaks with Noelle McCarthy. AUCKLAND WRITERS FESTIVAL 2017

Auckland Writers Festival 2015 English historian, poet, naturalist and illustrator Helen Macdonald once bred hawks for Arab sheikhs. She is also the winner of the Costa Award and the Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction for H is for Hawk, a chronicle of her attempt to tame Mabel the goshawk as a means of assuaging grief after the death of her father. “Grief,” she writes, “is just love with nowhere to go.” Referencing the similar attempts of T. H. White (of Once and Future King fame) to master falconry, Macdonald’s memoir is described as, pun intended, “a soaring triumph”. Chaired by Noelle McCarthy.
