  • Fantastic

    What a great host Jesse is. I really appreciate his sense of humour and friendliness towards the guests. His questioning is great and I’ve switched from nine to noon to afternoons as a result.

  • Failed comedian

    Apparently a tendency towards inane giggling at inappropriate moments must have been the entry qualification on the day some other idiot hired him. Another road mark on Radio NZ National deciding that their target demographic should be the brain dead.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Music feature: We put the spotlight on Robbie Williams
Q: How did Robbie Williams manage to stay at the top for so long?
Marty Jones points to a combination of unrivaled stage presence, strategic musical reinventions (from pop hits to swing), strong songwriting partnerships, and a resilient ability to navigate personal struggles with support from friends and mentors.
When should a politician's private life become public?
Q: Will this have any political impact on the popularity of the Labour leader or the Labour Party at this year's election?
The consensus is that personal-life scandals are not ideal for a political image, but the ultimate impact depends on subsequent developments and how parties respond; voters may remain focused on big issues, or be swayed if the story escalates or is amplified by opponents.
When should a politician's private life become public?
Q: Can you catch everyone up as much as you are able, Bryce? What happened over the weekend?
Bryce explains that the ex-wife posted private allegations related to the marriage; there are no criminal accusations, and the politician has denied the claims. The discussion centers on whether these private-life issues should be reported and how they intersect with public interest.
Explainer: What exactly is biochar and why should you care?
Q: Will biochar work with Radiator pine, or is it only suitable for other materials?
Radiator pine can be used; the material may require processing and considerations around the feedstock, but it is feasible to convert even rotting timber into biochar.
Explainer: What exactly is biochar and why should you care?
Q: Could biochar be produced from sewage sludge or other non-traditional feedstocks?
Yes, there are sites already using sewage waste and sludge to produce biochar, though feedstock selection requires testing to avoid introducing contaminants.
