  • Good for information to but difficult to listen.

    Good for information and overall, however, from what I’ve listened to so far the male host tends to ask a question and then speak over the person’s answer. It’s very frustrating to try and hear a complete answer. I prefer to listen to the information available and make a on assessment from there.

  • Top stories

    Top stories are hidden in amongst all the other clips. It would be so great to separate the top stories into its own channel.

  • Why is “today” split into so many parts

    I love the segments and topics but it’s a little frustrating that it’s all split up rather than being in a single episode. Maybe I’m missing something.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Winter Energy Payments
Q: What impact are the winter energy payments having on households with fixed incomes?
They provide only a small weekly top-up (around $20–$32) but are offset by line charges, resulting in little to no net gain for many pensioners and those on low incomes.
Homes needed for wild Kaimanawa horses
Q: How does someone get hold of one of these horses and what checks are involved?
Prospective adopters undergo property and reference checks through Kamanaoa Heritage Horses, with preferences for experienced homes that already have horses; horses can be taken directly from the wild or through a trainer, and the training period lasts five to twelve weeks before transfer to a domestic setting.
Homes needed for wild Kaimanawa horses
Q: What are Kaimanawa horses and why are they a thing?
They began as escapees from colonial times, evolving into a wild herd that has a long genetic history linked to Calvary horses, with a story involving a later epidemic and escape that shaped the current herd.
Power prices set to rise ahead of winter
Q: Now, power prices, as we've been talking about, are on lots of people's minds at the moment, what can you do, though, if you're worried about your power prices this winter?
There are several easy wins you can start with today, like improving curtain fit, setting heat pumps to a comfortable 18–22 degrees, fixing drafts, and considering LEDs and insulation for longer-term savings.
Auckland stands up as comedy festival kicks off
Q: 150 comedians, how do you pull together a line up like that?
They do it themselves, issuing a call for participation and then a dedicated festival team, led by the festival producer Jay Law, curates a lineup that represents a wide range of tastes and genres.
