Video games are raking in the cash and keeping people employed. NZ on Air-funded studios brought in $829 million in the year to July – 17% more revenue than last year. Those studios also have more than a thousand full-time employees. Director of the Game Development Sector Rebate at New Zealand on Air, Chantelle Cole says we're punching above our weight, with the global average being a 9% increase in revenue. She told Mike Hosking the 17% figure is just from the 43 studios that go through their programme – the New Zealand video game industry is actually 200 studios strong. Cole believes that when the New Zealand Game Developers Association releases their revenue figures in September, their growth may hit 30%, or even 40%.

Elle spoke to Kane Strang of Office Dog about the release of their third album Prime Corner. Born out of an “existential crisis” the album explores the complexities of identity during transient periods of life. Building on the sonic footprints of Speil and Doggerland, Prime Corner delves into the extremities of their sound, from the instrumental Everywhere Song and more raucous Front Row Seat. Exploring feelings of stagnation, instability and the mundanity, the album rises and falls in dynamics mirroring the organic cycle of life. It's also just really fun.  Thanks to NZ On Air.

Gone By Lunchtime is taking a break over summer. We'll be back soon with new episodes but, until then, here's one of our favourites from 2025: After the breakneck reforms of the 80s, Jim Bolger's promise of a calmer, more inclusive New Zealand hits the spot. Emerging from the shadow of Muldoon and shaking off the nuclear baggage, Bolger leads the National Party to a landslide victory under the “decent society” banner. But even before the celebrations are done, the hangover hits: the state-owned BNZ is on the brink, and the government books are in a parlous state. Ruth Richardson wastes no time as finance minister in making the most of crisis mode, and within weeks is driving through some of the most dramatic social, economic and labour reforms New Zealand has ever seen.  Picking up where the award-winning first season of Juggernaut left off, this first episode includes new and exclusive interviews with Jim Bolger, Ruth Richardson, Jenny Shipley, Don McKinnon, Bill Birch, Michael Wall, Rob Eaddy, Michael Laws and more.  Juggernaut 2 was made with the support of NZ On Air. This episode was originally published on November 11 2025. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
