It took five years to get here, but the Waitaki Whitestone Geopark has become the first UNESCO accredited Geopark in New Zealand and Australia.  There are nearly forty different sites across the district such as the iconic Moeraki boulders, the Ōmarama Clay Cliffs, the Elephant Rocks, and Anatini Valley, featuring million-year-old marine fossils.  Waitaki District Mayor, Gary Kircher, told Tim Dower that they have a lot of stories to tell in the district, from the start of social security with the Waitaki Dam to the stories of the mana whenua.  Although the history and culture of the district is a fantastic learning opportunity, there is also the option to sit back, relax, and enjoy the lake.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An Oamaru school's under fire for barring students from calling their parents when a group of pupils and staff went missing on a camp. Two students and two staff from St Kevin's College went missing overnight last month at Mount Somers. Search and Rescue teams found them the next morning. Parenting commentator, Nathan Wallis says if it's school policy, it'd be okay. "If it was imposed on them and there's nowhere written down that they're allowed to do that and the parents could have a reasonable expectation that they could contact their kids at any time- then it's not acceptable." The school says it's ordered a full review. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all.   Scott Robertson: 8/10 A shambles of a process but the best bloke got the job he deserved.   Stuart Nash: 3/10 Not so much a repeat offender, more of a serial offender and unbelievably he is still in cabinet. But then that's not on him.   Chris Hipkins: 4/10 No, it's on him. Ardern was famous for doing nothing around discipline and I am astonished Hipkins wants to match her.   Electric charging hubs: 7/10 And in this brain fart lies the trouble. Michael Wood spews forth a thought bubble, it has no cost or timeframe so therefore it isn't happening. Yet it's reported as news.   Auckland Airport: 7/10 At least their idea has, 1) a cost, 2) a timeframe and, 3) a picture, so you can see what it's going to look like.   The Warriors: 8/10 This lot look like the real deal. Andrew Webster might well be the magic. Hold on - could this be our year?   New Zealand: 7/10 We're the 10th happiest place in the world, which either makes the world fairly miserable or us in a coma of disorientation.   Posie Parker: 7/10 She got more publicity than she ever could have dreamed of.     Pies: 2/10 Goodman Fielder are laying people off in Palmerston and Oamaru because they're exiting pies. When you don't make pies in New Zealand you may as well turn the lights out.   LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEWSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oamaru locals are screwing their noses up at flocks of seagulls nesting in the centre of the seaside town.

The joy of being declared Aotearoa's big cheese has melted a little into disappointment for an award-winning company that's been forced to close its Auckland bar. Oamaru's Whitestone Cheese has been voted NZ's favourite cheese company, but it's also had to shut its cheese bar in Wynyard Quarter because it simply cannot find staff despite offering, despite offering a 'souped up' deal. It's also struggling to find workers for its Oamaru factory. Whitestone Cheese managing director Simon Berry talks to Lisa Owen.

This is the fourth episode in Series 2. Rex has done his research on his campervan trip around NZ (thanks to Maryann at Pacific Horizon Campervan Rentals (https://pacifichorizon.co.nz/). Rex is madly typing away and averaging 2,000 words a day and just hit 40,000 words. He's based at Prophet's Rock near Lake Dunstan. We're back in Sideways territory in a very strong way. In this episode, Rex allows Youie to put on his best fanboy suit and ask questions about the new book  - still not completed, of course - without any notice to Rex. The ensuing conversation covers off all sorts of questions and points including whether both Miles and Jack make a comeback; whether there any new characters in the book; whether something happened between Miles and Maya in the end; to what extent much of the new book is based on real events in Napier, Featherston, Wellington, Central Otago, Christchurch and Oamaru; whether there are any big comedic moments in the new novel; the trajectory of relationships in this novel between Miles and the other characters; and what's the overall psychological mood of the new novel. Discussions touch on the Cougars of Christchurch and the Tough Guys of Oamaru. Along the way, Rex makes some exclusive revelations on an attempt by others to make a TV series based on Sideways which Rex is clearly still bitter about. Things get a little edgy between Rex and Youie for the first time in the podcasts when discussing this topic. Rex and Youie then talk about the role of the haka and the powhiri and Rex's desire to set a scene in a high school (known as college in New Zealand). Rex and Youie have always welcomed questions to the show but this is the first and possibly last time Rex is inviting ideas and suggestions as to what you'd love to see in the new novel. This is pretty special, so if you are motivated by this, then make sure you send the message to wine@158.co.nz.   Have you got a question to ask Rex about wine, all things Sideways (the books, the movie, the musical, the podcast, or the play)? Then please write to him on wine@158.co.nz. You'll get your question read out and you'll be famous for 15 seconds. If you're in Auckland in October 2022, why not come out and meet Rex? He'll be at Winetopia on Friday October 28 and Saturday October 29 at Shed 10 in Auckland. Check out the details on (https://www.winetopia.co.nz/auckland-2022) .
