×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.…
Released early January 2025, ‘The Human Fear’ is Franz Ferdinand’s sixth studio album, focusing on the concept of “searching for the thrill of being human via fears" as described by frontman Alex Kapranos. The album touches on fears such as social isolation, the fear of leaving an institution, and fear of staying or leaving a relationship. Estelle Clifford joined Jack Tame to give her thoughts on the album. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
Nemesis by Greg Hurwitz Evan Smoak is a lone wolf operator. It goes with the territory for a former off-the-books government assassin. He certainly can't afford to go up against one of the few people he likes and trusts in this world. But Tommy Stojack, a gifted armorer and gunsmith whom Evan relies on, has crossed a line. And when Evan confronts him, instead of clearing up a deadly disagreement, he comes under attack. Now it's war. Tommy's got problems of his own though. He promised a dying comrade that he'd be there for the man's son and now the boy's in a world of trouble. The very last thing Tommy needs is Evan showing up with vengeance on his mind. The scary thing? Evan isn't even the most dangerous threat to arrive on the scene . . . The Crash by Frieda McFadden The nightmare she's running from is nothing compared to where she's headed. Tegan is eight months pregnant, alone, and desperately wants to put her crumbling life in the rearview mirror. So she hits the road, planning to stay with her brother until she can figure out her next move. But she doesn't realize she's heading straight into a blizzard. She never arrives at her destination. Stranded in rural Maine with a dead car and broken ankle, Tegan worries she's made a terrible mistake. Then a miracle occurs- she is rescued by a couple who offers her a room in their warm cabin until the snow clears. But something isn't right. Tegan believed she was waiting out the storm, but as time ticks by, she comes to realize she is in grave danger. This safe haven isn't what she thought it was, and staying here may have been her most deadly mistake yet. And now she must do whatever it takes to save herself-and her unborn child.

With the school year kicking in soon, the time has come to complete the costly task of back-to-school shopping. Kate ‘Ethically Kate’ Hall has a few tips on picking sustainable options that could save you some money. Start at Home Use unfinished exercise books by removing used pages and calling it new. Deep clean old lunch boxes, sharpen short pencils, and repair cracked rulers. Embrace resourcefulness - clever parenting and saves money! Treasure Hunt for Supplies Before you visit a store, turn finding existing school supplies into a fun game with the kids. Ask school leaver families if they have leftover supplies, or share your extras with others. Shop Second-Hand Explore second-hand stores for pens, pencils, books, and folders. Unique and vintage stationery can often be found here. Shop at places like All Heart Store who have high-quality second-hand stationery and office supplies - second hand and supporting an amazing charity. Ditch the Plastic Avoid plastic adhesive covers; try reusable options like DIY fabric covers. Opt for Sustainable lunchware Invest in eco-friendly options like Bento Ninja’s stainless steel lunch boxes with dividers to minimize single-use packaging. Challenge the “New Only” mentality Push back against the stigma around second-hand school supplies – value doesn’t decrease with use. Cover books with fun, second-hand fabric and embrace vintage stationery for a unique touch. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
Our holiday on the West Coast of the South Island (Punakaiki) was just what we needed – weather in Christchurch was cold and wet, but on the West Coast sunny and warm. I re-discovered a tree I have missed since leaving Auckland 14 years ago: Rhopalostylis sapida is its name. Gardeners know it as the Nikau Palm. There are two species in the New Zealand Territories: R sapida is the common Nikau in North Island and South Island, occurring mostly on the coast from Okarito in the West and Banks Peninsula in the East. It also occurs on Chatham Island and Pitt Island and the variety that grow there is a lot more elegant, especially in the younger form: the fronds (leaves) have a more drooping attitude, a bit like the traditional palms in the tropics. I reckon we should have a taxonomic discussion about its identity (a different species?). The Nikau on the offshore Islands of the Hauraki Gulf show a similar elegance (Little Barrier, Great Barrier etc etc). I must say: I prefer those drooping forms over the tightly growing leaves pointing towards the sky. Flowering takes place in Spring and Summer and the colours are wonderful. The seeds that are formed a year later are one of the Kereru’s favourite snacks. These birds’ ecosystem service is to disperse the seeds through the forests – a lovely job! So… if you find Nikau seeds and want to have a go at germinating them: chuck them in water for a few days and take out the seeds; the flesh is easy to remove. Plant the seeds in good seed-raising mix (or even in a plastic bag!) until they germinate. Plant them in tall pots – keep them in shade. When they start to grow (My goodness… they are slow!) ensure that you give the palm’s roots some space. When transplanting be careful not to damage the roots, especially the tap root! The second Native species in New Zealand occurs in Raoul Island (Kermadec Islands group). Its scientific name is Rhopalostylis baueri. This is a gorgeous form with large leaves and beautiful drooping habits. They are great to grow in large containers. I found some of these baueri (often called Rhopalostylis baueri var cheesemanii) as Christmas present for my local gardener at home. It’s one of those finds that fills a space in my heart too and it gives us a few years of “advantage” to get that beauty growing. Plant in shade, out of frost sites and be very careful with the roots. In Punakaiki I learned exactly how much that time advantage is: Nikau take about 40 years to start forming a trunk They can grow to 15 meters tall Have “rings” around their trunk where old leaves were attached, so you can more-or-less guess how old the tree is: two or three rings per year Do the Maths! Too slow? Sorry to hear that. LEAVE YOUR LEGACY! IT’S WORTH IT LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

1 Paul Stenhouse: OpenAI's latest tool can complete tasks for you such as booking flights or restaurants 4:06
OpenAI's latest tool can complete tasks for you. The biggest thing is that the operator can take actions for you using its 'computer vision'. Basically, it takes screenshots of the webpage, then can click with its virtual mouse and keyboard to complete things, like book a flight, or a restaurant. It's a big step forward because traditionally to do these things you needed to use APIs - structured data messages with explicit details. Now you can write a sentence and the AI will just do it. No preparation needed. Excited? Well, it's available now, but only for those with the $200-a-month ChatGPT Pro service. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Let's talk about the wickedly good plums that are all about at the moment. People with plum trees will be harvesting them by the bucket load and creating all manner of deliciousness. This tart is just divine and works with pretty much any variety of plum. It’s not too sweet so I find that people who claim not to have a sweet tooth love it! Serves 6-8 Ingredients Base & topping 1 ½ cups plain flour 100g ground almonds 2 heaped tbsps. raw sugar 1 tsp baking powder 75g butter, chilled 1 medium egg Filling 400g ricotta 2 tbsps. sugar 75mls sweet dessert wine Zest of a lemon 6-8 plums Method Heat oven to 180 C. Grease a 26cm ceramic pie dish. In a food processor blitz flour, almonds, raw sugar and baking powder to mix. Add butter and process until you have fine crumbs. Add egg and pulse until coarse crumbs form, that will hold together when pinched. Press a little more than half this mixture into the base and up the sides of prepared dish. Chill. Whisk or beat filling ingredients, except plums, until you have a mostly smooth cream – I don’t mind a few lumps of ricotta. Pour mixture into chilled crust. Slice plums into 6 slices and place these on top of filling. Cover with remaining crumb mixture and bake for 40-45 minutes until set. Cool. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Nici’s note: This tart keeps well for a few days in the fridge, and it even improves with time. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
As I turned on my phone for the first time in three days, it lit up with text messages from my wife. A photo. A tiny baby. Trussed up in a cotton wrap like a fresh, fleshy burrito with a little woolen hat for good measure. “Congratulations,” she said. “You’re a dad.” I knew she was joking. I’m not denying there was an element of risk in going tramping through the backcountry of the Kahurangi National Park with a wife who was 32-weeks pregnant. I just knew that if she had had the baby while I was dragging myself up a distant ridgetop, her first words to me when I emerged from the bush would not have been ‘Congratulations!’ Solitude in the bush —the uncontactableness— is a big part of the attraction for me. I love the physical challenge of tramping. I love the birds, the piwakawaka flitting about when you're under the canopy, and the kea squawking over the valleys. I love how humbling it is, how insignificant you feel, when you stand on top of a mountain ridge and are confronted with your puniness. But maybe above all, I love that feeling when you can see nor hear no sign of human beings. Realistically, that solitude is about to take a massive hit. When I was in the Kahurangi, it struck me that it’s only a matter of time —a couple of years at most— before satellite internet and communications technology mean we will all have internet and cell phone reception all the time. It won’t matter if you’re in downtown Auckland or halfway down the traverse from Yuletide Peak to the Anatoki Forks Hut, if you want comms you’ll have comms. That endless stream of notifications buzzing in your pocket. I’m not going to deny the obvious upsides, especially in my family, where there is a history (thankfully not mine) of people going missing in the bush. In emergency situations it’s going to be hugely valuable. For trampers who want weather forecast updates or people in some rural parts of the country with connectivity holes, a gamechanger. But with all that is gained with increased connectivity, that humbling sense of solitude is lost. It’ll be that much harder to escape the World, even for a couple of days. All I hope is that when our child is born and is old enough to go tramping, a voluntary code of sorts will have become the norm for all trampers when they head into the New Zealand bush: Fill out the intentions book, tell someone where you’re going. And for goodness’ sake, unless it’s an emergency, put your phone on airplane mode. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
1 Tami Neilson and Dr Jada Watson: Country musician and musicology professor on the gender inequality in country music and 'The F Word' 15:57
Classic female country artists like Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, and Faith Hill, along with modern-day musicians like Kasey Musgraves, Carrie Underwood, and Shania Twain are pioneers of the genre. Despite their influence and hand in elevating country music to the heights it’s reached in the modern era, only 10% of country music airplay and awards are granted to women. This is one of the astonishing facts in Tami Neilson’s latest show ‘The F Word’, which combines music with the research of musicology professor Dr Jada Watson. The two first met on Twitter, both very vocal about challenging inequality in the country music industry. “I followed her because she wrote, you know, these incredible articles," Neilson told Francesca Rudkin. “What I loved about her work was that for an artist, she was kind of giving us the tools to feel validated I guess, you know, vindicated.” Neilson says she wanted to tell the story of women in country music through song, backing it with the black and white statistics of Watson’s research. Despite country being one of the largest genres of music in the United States, women are disproportionally represented, an issue Watson says has historic roots. “We have to remember where country came from and the time in which it was developed, and this was 1920’s United States, racially segregated country.” “Most cultural institutions were racially segregated and then sort of built into that framework was also different forms of discrimination or oppression,” she said. One of the stories they tell in ‘The F Word’ is that of the Carter Family – one of the founding families of the country music genre. Watson says that in the recording sessions including people like Jimmie Rodgers, the Carters said that a woman in the lead would never sell. “We think of them as the founding family of country music,” Watson told Rudkin. “And so that idea of women not selling, or not being possible to sell has really been baked into the fabric of the institution that is country music.” The ‘F Word’ will be performed on Saturday, March 8th at Auckland Town Hall.
