Patangaroa or sun stars are a species of starfish found in the intertidal zones of Te Ika-a-Maui and the West Coast of the Te Waipounamu. We have over 600 species of starfish in Aotearoa and they have some pretty unusual eating habits. Patangaroa only have a tiny mouth on the underside of their body, which is often not big enough to eat through. To get around this problem, they insert their stomach membranes into their prey and digest them outside their body before slurping up the resulting juices!

Today we are catching up with Lewis Ciddor after his impressive 3rd place finish at Tour Te Waipounamu. Many of you will be familiar with Lewis. He won the Tour Divide in 2018 and was the host of the Overland Archive Podcast for many years. Lewis was on the show in Aug. of 2020 for Ep. 51. Since then I've noticed he's been keeping a lower profile. Not entering races, not releasing episodes of his own podcast, not posting on social media as much, so when I saw him back in the race lineup I was eager to catch up with him.     I was also eager to hear more about the Tour Te Waipounamu. It takes place on the south island of New Zealand and looks to be equal parts challenging and beautiful. The route is known for a variety of terrain, river crossings, hike a bikes, and off trail navigating. In other words, it's a real challenge. In the world of ultra endurance mountain biking, this race stands out as being particularly hard, and that's saying something.   It had been four years since Lewis had raced before lining up at TTW. Any doubts he had going into that race about being the racer he once was were going to be faced on the beautifully rugged terrain that is Tour Te Waipounamu. Not all victories come in the form of winning. For Lewis, his victory came by facing and overcoming challenges during the race that at one point had him in 12th place with only 300 miles to the finish. On today's episode Lewis takes us through his journey as he made his way through the field and onto the podium in his first race in 4 years.  ⚡️EPISODE SPONSOR⚡️ Panorama - Today we highlighted the Katahdin which is Panoramas carbon gravel bike and the bike that Patrick has been personally riding for over a year.

The prime minister, who's isolating with a covid-19 infection, says he'll make himself available as soon as he's well. But the leader of the opposition says he can't find the time in his very busy campaign to reschedule. Hipkins says it's because his opponent is too chicken to debate the issues affecting the 1.2 million New Zealanders living in Te Waipounamu. Well is he?

A challenge to swim every lake in the South Island, no matter how cold the water and how hard they are to reach, has brought together a Queenstown swimming club. Members of the Southern Lakes Swimming Club set a challenge to swim every named lake in the South Island. Realising the scale of the project, but also the opportunity it presented for keen outdoor swimmers, they opened it up to all swim clubs in Te Waipounamu. So far about 90 lakes have be ticked off the list but more than 250 lakes remain to be swum in the Lake Attack Challenge, with swimmers going to extraordinary lengths to reach some of the most remote lakes. It's now the subject of a short film Out of the Pool and Into the Wild, which will premiere at the New Zealand Mountain Film and Book Festival this Sunday. Kathryn speaks with Paul Jaquin, the president of the Southern Lakes Swimming Club who came up with the Lake Attack Challenge, alongside the film's director Marijn Wouters, and Sara Metzger, another keen swimmer in the Southern Lakes Swimming Club.

Island of Origin?   Why the hell not, right?   Tonight, the rugby league world focuses on the biggest event in the game. Sure, the Grand Final is something, but the State of Origin is the superstar of rugby league. It has the history, the energy, the rivalry. It is distinctly Australian.   Brash, aggressive, loud. Ned Kelly in blue and maroon. Ford v Holden in the flesh. It personifies the Australian sporting landscape. The media buy in boots and all, the public lap it up, Phil Gould is well, Phil Gould.  There are story lines a plenty, grudges exacerbated, legends built.   So, can we have one?   Island of Origin.   Eligibility doesn't need to be tricky. Wherever you played your footy up until 18. It won't be the best of 3, NZR and the players union would kick up too much of a stink for that. It would be a one-off match slap in the middle of the not very Super season. Te Waipounamu versus Te Ika a Maui. A mid-year All Black trial if you will, bringing something to the table whilst the Super comp flails about punching down on Aussie and Pacific sides.  I'm sure there would be a multitude of reasons to kick the whole concept into touch, but I think we're all sick of trying to find reasons why not as opposed to finding reason why.   Call it insane, call it unreasonable, call it a pipe dream.  I call it as I see it, a chance to bring some new energy to a country tired of the grind of Super Rugby, all designed to prop up AB dominance which doesn't exist.   New Zealand rugby needs to step away from the All-Black high performance-based model and lean into the world of out and out entertainment.    Island of Origin.

Matariki - the new year - is a time of reflection, acknowledging the past and looking to the future - while also being intrinsically connected to the environment.  It is entrenched in Māori oral history and traditions from since before their ancestors arrived to these shores from te Moana nui a kiwa  Colonisation tried, and eventually failed, to get rid of much of the traditions and knowledge of tangata whenua but with relentless committment and experts dedicating their life to it the reclamation of Matariki - it is now being recognised as a public holiday.  It is the first ever national holiday that is indigenous to Aotearoa that will be marked and celebrated as a country. As many New Zealanders learn what Matariki is - both Māori and non Māori - our reporters took to the streets up and down the country - to see how people will be spending their day.  Heading to the south to Te Waipounamu - in Christcchurch there will also be a bit of learning going on.  These Tāmaki Makaurau residents are doing a mixture of things with whanau and friends.  Māori News Director Māni Dunlop.

Tia herself has been in the shearing industry all her life, representing New Zealand in woolhandling in 2005 and 2013. Tia has a huge list of achievements and is truly a champion of rural communities. Tia is a Whānau Ora navigator at Tokomairiro Waiora and won the award for supporting shearers and their families through the challenges of Covid-19. During the 2020 lockdown, she developed an online programme for wool, forestry and fishing industry workers who found it difficult to access services after hours. She also helped workers access the Wage Subsidy Scheme.Tia is also a rural navigator for Tokomairiro Waiora, a Kaupapa Māori Health Service providing Whānau Ora services in South Otago. Her rural navigator programme was a response to a Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu 2019 survey of wool harvesters which found they needed better access to health and social services.And if you thought she couldn't possibly do anymore, she also has a small business, Taki Toru Woolshed Services, where she runs her own training programme. If you enjoyed this episode, feel free to visit our Instagram, Facebook, and website, or even become a member! www.ruralwomennz.nz

This episode of the Pedal On Podcast follows our two earlier episodes in which we looked at the then planned Tour Te Waiponamu, and talked to some of the prospective riders. In this episode we check in after the event, with Brian Alder the race organiser, and participant, and 4 other racers. We talk to overall winner Ollie Whalley, fastest woman Georgia Whitla, Steve Halligan and Hanna Black. We hear how the race panned out for each of them, what they went through physically and mentally, what worked and what didn't, and what they'd do differently next time. And we ask each 'Will there be a next time?'.The Tour Te Waiponamu is a bikepacking race from the northern most to the southern most points of New Zealand's South Island. It is through some of the most rugged and spectacular country that Aotearoa has to offer, much of it privately owned and normally inaccessible.Check out:www.facebook.com/tourtewaipounamu/www.dotwatcher.cc - for event reports and photoswww.hikebikecake.com - for rider and rig profilesInstagram: #tourtewaipounamu
