Jase Te Patu has lived many lives. World-class athlete, international performer, TEDx speaker, and founder of one of Aotearoa's most impactful mental health programmes for youth, Hauora Aotearoa. But his story starts in Whanganui, raised by his Nan and Koro, having never met his mum and losing his dad to absence. In this conversation, Jase opens up about the belief he carried for years, that he was unworthy and unlovable, and how that pain drove his pursuit of excellence.  We talk about grief, identity, and the state of youth mental health in New Zealand. We also talk about hope, what keeps him going, and what a better future could look like if we're willing to show up and do the work! Hope you enjoy this episode!

Princess Lātūfuipeka Tukuʻaho of Tonga has called for legal personhood for whales, some of the most intelligent animals we share the Earth with.

Producer Samantha spoke with Dr Justin Sobion, Professor of Law at the University of Auckland about the legal and industrial implications of such a move.

Send us a textRecent Massey University Veterinary Science Graduate, Dr Aodhan Wildbore, shares what truly matters for veterinary graduates starting their careers. His experience at Wanganui Vet Services showcases how essential proper mentoring is for new professionals – making the difference between thriving or leaving the profession entirely.Aodhan's no-holds-barred insights shatter common fears about first veterinary positions. "I actually don't feel like a new grad really," he shares, describing a practice where new graduates receive both freedom and robust support. Unlike clinics where experienced vets reject new approaches, Aodhan works with senior practitioners who value fresh knowledge while providing guidance without micromanagement. His most satisfying case to date? Diagnosing a BVD outbreak in a herd – a complex situation where he applied thorough diagnostics and implemented management protocols with appropriate backup from experienced colleagues.Beyond clinical practice, Aodhan offers thought-provoking perspectives on the declining number of men entering veterinary medicine. He suggests limited exposure may be the culprit: "Guys are somewhat shielded from the industry in terms of exposure." This cultural shift presents challenges for the profession's diversity. For anyone considering Whanganui as their next destination, Aodhan's experience as a newcomer has been overwhelmingly positive, finding the community welcoming and accepting far sooner than the "five years to be accepted" he'd been warned about.Ready to find your place in a clinic that lifts you up?

Send us a textEver wondered what makes a veterinary practice truly special? It's not just about the facilities or location—it's about creating a culture where every team member feels valued, supported, and empowered to use their full range of skills.In this chat with Bridget Swart, head veterinary nurse at Vets on Carlton in Whanganui, we talk about the daily rhythms of a clinic that's earned an impressive 4.7-star rating from its own employees. Bridget shares her journey as a "transplant" to this seaside community, where she's found not just professional fulfilment but a perfect setting for raising her young family.What becomes immediately apparent is how this clinic approaches teamwork. From organised morning rounds to the mutual support team members offer one another during challenging days, there's an genuine camaraderie that can't be manufactured. Perhaps most significantly, veterinarians at the practice fully utilise their nurses' skills—from administering pre-meds to intubating patients, placing catheters, and conducting x-rays. This approach not only increases job satisfaction for nursing staff but creates a more efficient workplace where everyone can focus on what they do best.For veterinary professionals considering their next move, Whanganui offers a compelling alternative to big-city practice. As Bridget puts it, the "slower pace" and family-friendly amenities create the perfect work-life balance, while the clinic's commitment to continuing education ensures career development doesn't stagnate. Whether you're a veterinarian looking for your next position or simply curious about what makes a veterinary workplace thrive, this episode provides valuable insights into creating a sustainable and fulfilling veterinary career.If you're ready to discover if Vets on Carlton might be your perfect next move you owe it to yourself to check them out!  Check out Tania's Job Video.Struggling to get results from your job advertisements?

Send us a textDiscover the heart and soul of rural veterinary practice through Dr Dave Rankin's eyes as he celebrates 30 years with Wanganui Vet Services - sister clinic to Vets on Carlton.  Dr Dave's journey shows what makes a veterinary workplace truly special – the deep bonds formed with farming families across generations, the satisfaction of mentoring young professionals, and the joy of practicing diverse medicine from pregnancy testing cattle to performing emergency small animal surgeries.What stands out in this conversation is Dr Dave's people-first approach to veterinary medicine. "My team's always stronger than the individual," he explains, describing how everyone from receptionists to nurses plays a vital role in clinic success. This philosophy extends to professional development, where staff members are encouraged to pursue their passions – even when it means sending a primarily large animal vet like Dr Dave, to a small animal dental course!The clinic's thoughtful approach to after-hours work demonstrates their commitment to staff wellbeing. New veterinarians receive approximately six months lead-in before joining the on-call roster, and when they do, a tiered support system ensures they're never alone. This structure, combined with extra annual leave, helps address one of the profession's most challenging aspects.Beyond the clinic, Whanganui itself offers an enviable lifestyle. "Everyone forgets we're a seaside city," Dr Dave shares, describing how he can be fishing, skiing, or hiking within minutes of home. With good schools, a pleasant climate, and a central location, it's the perfect setting for veterinary professionals seeking work-life balance.Want to join a veterinary team where you're truly valued?

Send us a textWhat happens when a non-veterinarian takes the helm of a veterinary practice? In this chat, Tom Dinwiddie reveals how his business background and people-first approach have transformed Wanganui Veterinary Services and Vets on Carlton into genuine Employers of Choice in New Zealand's veterinary landscape.At the heart of Tom's management philosophy lies a refreshing commitment to autonomy and accountability. "We allow people to make their own decisions and work autonomously," he explains, sharing real examples of team members who've flourished under this approach—from the young vet who researched and recommended dental X-ray equipment to the reserved nurse who blossomed into a confident leader. This trust extends to equipment needs and continuing education, with the practice generously supporting veterinarians' professional interests, whether in advanced dentistry, ultrasound techniques, or orthopaedic surgery.Beyond the clinic walls, Tom paints a vivid picture of Whanganui as "New Zealand's best-kept secret"—a place where veterinary professionals can truly have it all.  With affordable housing, excellent schools, and boundless outdoor adventures from river kayaking to mountain climbing, the area offers the quintessential New Zealand lifestyle without the constraints of big-city living. The clinic's success in integrating international veterinary skills is exemplified by Hein, a Dutch veterinarian who joined after falling in love with the Whanganui River during a kayak trip and has now built a life and orthopaedic skills there over ten years.For veterinary professionals contemplating their next career move, this conversation presents a compelling alternative to the traditional vet-owned practice model—one where personal and professional growth go hand in hand, all within one of New Zealand's most liveable communities. Visit vetclinicjobs.com/vets-on-carlton to discover how you could be part of this exceptional team.Struggling to get results from your job advertisements?

To opowieść o Odrze, drugiej co do wielkości rzece w Polsce, i obywatelskim projekcie ustawy, której celem jest przyznanie Odrze osobowości prawnej. Czy to sposób na ochronę rzeki, którą trzy lata temu płynęły tony zatrutych ryb i która padła ofiarą katastrofy ekologicznej? Nadanie osobowości prawnej rzece nie jest niczym nowym. Jednym z pierwszych takich przypadków była w 2017 roku rzeka Whanganui w Nowej Zelandii. Takie prawa uzyskały też rzeki w Kanadzie, Indiach, Ekwadorze i Kolumbii. W Europie prawo do własnej reprezentacji przed sądem uzyskała dwa lata temu hiszpańska laguna Mar Menor. Był to wynik obywatelskiej inicjatywy ustawodawczej, pod którą, w reakcji na katastrofę ekologiczną, podpisało się ponad 640 tysięcy osób. Obecnie jest ponad 500 miejsc na świecie, gdzie toczą się podobne procesy.

Mike discusses the latest events in Whanganui including the food scraps collection service being scrapped and updates on the Dublin St Bridge.

I'm all good but... I want to be at Jim Beam Homegrown with everyone else.

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. New Zealand: 7/10 Between the investment conference, the India trip about to unfold, and the huge boost in visa interest from wealthy foreigners, that's not a bad week's work for a small country trying to get its mojo back. Tariffs: 2/10 The idiocy driving the ideology has been on full display. Random numbers, multiple threats, increased costs - all it has done this week is tank markets, decrease value, freak people out, provide uncertainty, and generally reinforce the idea that the U.S President is random as, if not dangerous. Whanganui: 7/10 That council with the payment for meetings and dumping the food scraps is rolling. It's not often a council does two good things in a week. Liam Lawson: 8/10 It's early days and the pressure is real, but F1 is as big as sport gets anywhere and he is at the pointy end of it. Fonterra: 9/10 Yet another payment upgrade. Those guys can't stop giving away money. We like that too. Malcolm Turnbull: 7/10 Sort of my hero of the week. If you give into bullies, you get more bullying. In politics, and life, it's sage advice. LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

DISCUSSION ON DEATH AND SUICIDE. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED “To err is human, but to really f#@k things up you need the Plymouth Brethren” – and in the case we report today, they come in the person of Simon Filleul, a Plymouth Brethren elder and Rapid Relief team spokesman from Whanganui, New Zealand. Simon's business, Playground Centre Limited took on a talented and enthusiastic 19-year old, exploited his energy and loyalty to the utmost extreme for 7 years, lured him to Australia with false and unfulfilled promises of training, promotion and financial assistance, then finally, having extracted everything of value from him, left him to die alone, hanging from his forklift truck. Yes, we are angry, and sickened by the greed, cruelty and hypocrisy of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church and its fake Rapid Relief Team Charity – and yes , it's a bloody long podcast – but if you are, like the Filleuls, one of those smug, self-important callous money-grubbing UBT trained PBCC businessmen you need to sit yourself down and watch this podcast again, and again and again…because if YOU f#@k up, it will be your proud, respectable Brethren name on the next episode of Get-a-Life Podcast.

Whooping Cough A national epidemic has just been declared in New Zealand. Reported 260+ cases diagnosed in past four weeks. Whooping cough is potentially a fatal disease especially in younger children and babies less than one year. Three babies died last year in New Zealand from whooping cough when we didn't have an epidemic! What is whooping cough? Caused by a bacteria called pertussis. Damages lining of throat and lungs causing cough. Cough can go on for weeks or months – called ‘100' day cough. Very easy to catch – spreads through the air – cough/sneezing - one person can on average spread to 12 others. What are the signs? Depends on age - Younger the child more at risk of becoming very unwell. Starts with runny nose, temp and sneezing 1-2 weeks Cough develops, very irritating, bouts of coughing with gasping for air between coughs, may last minutes and may vomit after cough. Older children typically whoop as they gasp for breath. Younger infants less than 6 months: go blue with cough spasms, stop breathing, not able to feed, get exhausted – may need hospital. Gradually over weeks, up to 3 months cough gets better. In older adults and children – symptoms less severe. Who is at risk? Partially immunized children. Babies too young for their first immunization at 6 weeks. Children with heart or lung conditions. How is it treated? Antibiotics may reduce the severity if given early and can reduce spread. However, there is no treatment for the cough once it starts. Babies: The cough may make the baby difficult to breath and unable to feed. Sometimes will need to go to hospital for oxygen treatment and feeding through a nasal tube. How do you prevent it and when to see your doctor? Immunization is the only protection. In particular pregnant mums after 16 weeks should be immunized as gives protection to baby in first6 weeks of life. Partially immunized children at risk. See your doctor if your child has difficulty breathing or looks unwell. Call ambulance if child or baby goes blue coughing, stops breathing or seizure. Current outbreak The latest ESR data, which covers the four weeks up to 8 November, showed rates were highest among infants less than a year old, those most vulnerable to severe disease, and with a high proportion requiring hospitalisation. It also identified hotspots in in Wairarapa, Southern, Whanganui and Capital and Coast health districts. Wairarapa had 13 cases, which was by far the highest rate at 25.4 cases per 100,000 people. That was followed by Southern at 11.6 (42 cases), Whanganui at 11.4 (8 cases) and Capital and Coast at 10.4 (34 cases).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kodachroma is an exhibition by Whanganui-based artist Katherine Claypole. It weaves colour and handstitching to create a flash of vividness in the midst of winter.

Katherine advises the viewer to move around the work and experience it from different angles to enjoy its full optical potential.
