Saturday Morning with Jack Tame
In less than a week’s time, Kiwi musician Nadia Reid will release her fourth album: ‘Enter Now Brightness’. It’s her first album in five years, born from a period of reflection during the Covid lockdowns beginning in 2020. The album is a record of “poise and great beauty”, documenting the sound of a “cellular shift” and pain giving way to tenderness and joy, the biography on her website reads. She told Newstalk ZB’s Jack Tame that the album took two years to write. “At one point I thought, well, I don’t have terribly much to say,” she said, referring to the stagnancy of lockdown. “But it turns out I did have... I had, I wrote 12, we recorded 12 songs, 10 of which made it onto the album.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney Author Grady Green is having the worst best day of his life. Grady calls his wife to share some exciting news as she is driving home. He hears Abby slam on the brakes, get out of the car, then nothing. When he eventually finds her car by the cliff edge the headlights are on, the driver door is open, her phone is still there. . . but his wife has disappeared. A year later, Grady is still overcome with grief and desperate to know what happened to Abby. He can’t sleep, and he can’t write, so he travels to a tiny Scottish island to try to get his life back on track. Then he sees the impossible — a woman who looks exactly like his missing wife. A Dangerous Game by Mandy Robotham Seven years after the chaotic aftermath of World War II, London has is coming alive again, with jazz clubs and flickering cinema awnings lighting up the night sky. But for widowed Helen 'Dexie' Dexter, she's still a woman in a man's world. She longs to prove herself as an officer in the London Metropolitan Police, yet she's stuck intervening in domestics and making tea for her male colleagues. Then Harri Schroder arrives, seconded from Hamburg to the Met. Haunted by the loss of his wife and child, Harri is unlike any man Dexie has ever known. Compassionate and sharp-witted, he sees her not as a threat, but as an intelligent, canny officer full of potential. And when Harri is tasked with hunting down a Nazi war criminal-turned-respected-businessman, with connections to the upper echelons of British society, it's Dexie he turns to for help. But as their bond deepens, a deadly fog engulfs London. Dexie and Harri must expose the fugitive before he vanishes, risking everything for justice - and each other.

Saturday Morning with Jack Tame
1 Dougal Sutherland: The need for mental health support in the workplace, the financial cost of cutting it 11:47
2024 was a hard year for many. If you didn’t lose your job, you might have spent a lot of time worrying about losing your job or ending up in the unenviable position of trying to do more with less! It’s not surprising that there are high rates of anxiety, stress, and burnout in the workforce. However, at the same time I’ve noticed over the past 12 months a bit of a worrying trend in workplaces to dial back on things that support staff mental health and wellbeing. There are some suggestions this is because in a tighter economic environment that these topics are seen as “nice to haves” or a bit “soft and fluffy” and therefore should be dialled back. This new survey from the UK highlighted that if businesses understood staff mental health and wellbeing from a different perspective, they would quickly realise that it’s more important than ever to invest in staff wellbeing. Could it be that protecting and enhancing the mental wellbeing of workers is the key to increasing our productivity, something that is on the minds of many this year? The Deloitte’s survey looked at the financial sector and found there was more symptoms of burnout compared to other areas of industry and the cost of this was over $10k per person per year. If we dive into what those symptoms are —exhaustion, making more mistakes at work, poorer work performance— then it’s easy to see how poor mental health can affect the productivity of a business. Also, in some workplaces being exhausted and making more mistakes at work could lead to some potentially fatal consequences (e.g., mistakes with machinery). Other research has demonstrated that businesses who are supporting the mental health of their employees have lower levels of sick leave and better financial performance. Helpful to know in light of the WHO data indicating that globally about 12 billion working days per year are lost due to depression and anxiety, which costs over $1.7 trillion annually! So, what can businesses and staff do? I think the first thing is to change how you think the reasons for supporting people’s mental health at work. If you can figure out what is contributing to poor wellbeing at your place and do something to address it, you’re putting your business in a really good position to weather the next 12months which, by all predictions, are still going to be somewhat rocky. For people in the workplace, you might have already found that requests for support for mental health and wellbeing have fallen on deaf ears. You might want to subtly change how you frame these requests, by asking for support to help maintain the viability and productivity of your organisation. On a more meta level, the government, in its current push for more efficiency and productivity, might be really interested in this data and to think about how protecting and supporting workers’ mental health could be a win:win situation.

The tiniest critters can be the biggest pain in the you-know-what when it comes to your body and your garden. The mere fact that they are sooo small does not help to discover them in time. That kind of goes for most of the members of the Order ACARI – a huge range of critters such as Bird mites, Follicle mites (we all have them in our eyelashes), chiggers, scabies mites, ticks and —of course— plant mites. A week or two ago I discovered the very first Acari on Julie’s Frangipani bush in the glasshouse. Just a few innocent little acari, known as two-spotted spider mites with the elegant scientific name of Tetranychus urticae. Literally a couple of days ago I discovered this: Massive “spider webs” made from the smallest and softest silk on the planet. All strands very close together, keeping the inhabitants safe from whatever may be mite predators. Spider mites are often a real pain in the warmer areas of the garden – especially the glasshouse, tunnel house, and very sheltered areas with warm sunlight. Their trouble-making is very simple: damage the tiny cells on leaves by rasping, and remove the moisture inside those plant cells. That leaves the cells without their contents, and they simply dry out. The most important stuff they grab is the green chlorophyll that’s inside those cells; those cells will be filled with air, thereby becoming bleached, light yellow and grey. Spider mites use the massive silken constructions as easy runways to get from leaf to leaf and partner to partner. Their numbers increase rapidly, and the damage follows… Once you have had a close look at the leaves, the silk and the runways, you’ll find the little scrapers: 4 pairs of legs, a few dots on their body, and some movement. Once you spot them it pays to have a go at controlling these vast colonies before they really cause severe damage. Organic control can be achieved via Yates’ fatty acid spray (NatraSoap). That stuff works on tiny critters with a sensitive skin. An alternative: Neem Oil or Conqueror Oil. Repeat sprays are recommended to catch the tiny babies after they come out of their eggs. Biological Control is another way to reduce the population. Phytoseiulus persimilis is available from BioForce Ltd, who sells the product Mite-E™. It’s a parasitic mite that eats the eggs of the spider mites and even the juveniles and adults of that pest. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
Head lice, otherwise known as nits or kutis, is one of the most frustrating medical conditions parents have to face. It’s very common and often seen in school outbreaks. What are head lice and who gets them? They’re small insects found on the head. They live on hair and suck blood from the scalp. They lay eggs on the hair – looking like little grains of sand stuck to hair. Anyone can get them; it has nothing to do with poor hygiene. They do not carry disease. Only humans can get them, and they’re spread through direct head contact. Often found on children who sleep together or play together. Often spread by school outbreaks. They can’t live when not on the head and die quickly. How do you know you have them? Sometimes can see live insects moving on the scalp. Nits, headlice eggs look like small grains of sand stuck to hair that can’t be brushed out: often found around the ears and back of the neck. Intense itch sometimes, kids often scratch at their hair. Scratching can cause sores to develop on the scalp. Often causes redness, swelling scalp. What do you do about them? Two things: You need to kill the live adult insects using a special shampoo and get rid of the eggs stuck to the hair. Use head lice shampoo ‘Dimethicone’ twice, one week apart. It’s not an insecticide, it suffocates the live head lice. You then have to comb out the eggs stuck to the hair, so they don’t hatch. A few times every day for 1-2 weeks: use a fine-tooth nit comb, wet comb with the conditioner and comb till no eggs coming free. Any other things to think about? If one child gets infected in the family, check the rest of family and treat with shampoo on the same day. Tell your school – school outbreaks are common. It’s difficult to prevent. Never ever use fly spray or kerosene (sometimes promoted): dangerous! LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

1 Paul Stenhouse: Tesla's new robotaxi service in Texas, Sims games are being re-released, and Meta cracks down on leaks 8:15
More robotaxis are headed to the streets Tesla is starting a robotaxi service in Austin in June. They'll be fully autonomous, with no human driver behind the wheel. As far as we know, these will be standard Teslas using just cameras to understand their surroundings. That's unlike Waymo and others which use Lidar radar technology. Tesla has been testing out the full driverless function in San Francisco, but with a safety driver behind the wheel. They’ve also enabled self-driving at the Tesla factory so when a car is complete it drives itself to the loading dock. Sims & Sims 2 are being re-released To celebrate the franchise’s 25th anniversary, the two games are being re-released. If you want to dive into some nostalgia, Windows 10 and 11 users can download from Electronic Arts or Steam. No love for Mac users though. Did you know there's a Sims movie in the works? No release date yet, but it's expected sometime this year. Mark Zuckerberg is annoyed by leaks Facebook/Meta has typically been very open with staff hosting Q&As at regular Town Halls, often giving unscripted and unfiltered thoughts and observations. But Mark is watching what he says now because the leaks are being too frequent. Their head of security said in a leaked memo that they will fire staffers who leak.

When NZ green beans are in season, I love to make this salad to have on standby to have with everything! It’s divine and whilst canned beans work just fine, if you go the extra mile and cook your beans from scratch you won’t be sorry. Makes 5-6 cups Ingredients Salad 2 cups sliced green beans 3 cups soaked and cooked beans (or use canned) ½ red onion, sliced very thinly 1 cup diced red, green or yellow capsicum ½ cup diced cucumber, skin on ½ teaspoon sea salt ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper Dressing ¾ cup sugar — any will do, I use white! 1 cup apple cider vinegar ¼ cup olive oil Method Lightly cook the green beans by pouring boiling water over them and leaving them to sit. Simmer the dressing ingredients together until the sugar has dissolved then set aside to cool. Toss all the salad ingredients in a big bowl or container, pour over dressing and chill until ready to eat. It will last for at least a week in the fridge, and you can keep adding to it as vegetables come to hand or out of the garden! Nici's Note You can use canned beans, if you wish, though they tend to be mushier than I like — but they are irresistibly convenient!

Trump’s wasting no time, we can be sure of that. Whether it’s his executive orders, Greenland, or his extraordinary Cabinet appointments, the President’s strategy in office is obviously to move quickly, to flood the zone. For his opponents, there is just so much to be outraged about they simply can’t keep up. Of the many crazy things to observe, RFK Jnr’s confirmation hearing this week has been a standout for me. Obviously, the guy is wacky and unconventional but having someone with his history of campaigning against vaccines in such an important public health role is extraordinary, even by Trumpian standards. Potentially dangerous, for sure. But I don’t want to talk about vaccines, I want to talk about food. Because despite his unconventional persona, despite how much I disagree with things he’s said about vaccines and actions he’s taken in the past, not everything about RFK’s health philosophy should be discounted. Not everything’s loopy. When it comes to his attitude towards ultra-processed foods and America’s big-food industry, I’m 100% on Kennedy’s side. In a nutshell, he reckons America’s ultra-processed food industry is making Americans less healthy. The combination of processing, the use of artificial, engineered ingredients, factory farming, and excess sugar has contributed to alarming health outcomes. And honestly, I agree. Speaking personally, I think I might have first adopted a food philosophy of sorts when reading Michael Pollen – he of the simplest food rules (‘Eat Food, mainly plants, not too much). But for a long time now, my personal philosophy on food is the more it’s been processed, the more it’s been tinkered with and optimised and engineered, the more numbers it has for ingredients, the worse it probably is for your health. Don’t get me wrong – I love a bit of junk food. But life’s too short to only eat numbers. I’d much rather have a big wedge of carrot cake or a slab of ginger crunch from a fancy café than a junk food that comes in a package. I’d rather have a pizza from an independent pizza place or an Uncle Man’s Malaysian laksa than a large combo and a Coke from one of the big chains. I know they’ve made big efforts to improve their offerings, but speaking personally, it’s almost 18 years since I had anything from the likes of McDonalds, BK and KFC etc. I doubt I’ll ever eat that stuff again in my life. In America, of course, it’s much worse. Everything is processed. Everything comes in a packet. Every aisle at the supermarket is a middle aisle. I’ll never forget when a Kiwi mate came home for a month over summer and accidentally left a bag of bread in the pantry of his New York apartment while he was overseas. He returned after four or five weeks, expecting to find a writhing blob of blue penicillin in his pantry, only to discover a bag of bread without a single spore of mould, anywhere. Yeesh, we wondered, if that bread can survive a month in a warm cupboard, what’s it doing to us? And yet on average, despite spending twice as much on healthcare per capita than other large, wealthy countries, life expectancy in the U.S is five years lower. Bananas, eh? They spend twice as much per-person, only to live five years less. We can’t pin it all on ultra-processed foods, but diet certainly plays a role. About half of the trillion US dollar supermarket industry is ultra-processed food. That’s about NZ$850 billion every year. If RFK Jnr is confirmed and can break through some of the vested interests that underpin that industry, honestly, all power to him. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Saturday Morning with Jack Tame
25 years ago, David Gray was renowned for how famous he wasn’t. He had a cult of fans and listeners hooked on his sincerity and plainspokenness – but he hadn’t quite broken into the mainstream. And then came his career-making album White Ladder, recorded in his home and going on to become one of the best-selling albums of the 21st century so far. His lasting success has led him to the release of his 13th album Dear Life. The album is heavily influenced by themes of mortality, which Gray says have been present in his writing and works since the death of his father. “I was up close and watched him die, and that changes your perspective on things,” he told Newstalk ZB’s Jack Tame. “Just like watching one of your children being born – it's a privilege to be there.” “Obviously when you see the sort of parentheses that hold our fragile little lives, you reassess everything.” Gray also cites the western obsession with agelessness and anti-aging as an influence, as well as the deaths caused by Covid-19. “This all I ambiently fed in, I think to probably my natural inclinations.” The songs in ‘Dear Life’ are very direct, Gray says, explaining that they were “born standing up” and ready to go. “They’re not cutting any strange angles away, they’re not hiding themselves,” he told Tame. “That’s not to say that they don’t play games within that fixed gaze... there’s a lot of humour, there’s a lot of delicacy.” “But it was just such a pleasure to write.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
