  • Excellent journalist

    Kathryn is a great Radio journalist. She is intelligent, knowledgeable and gets the best out of the people she interviews. Most of all, she is not one of those prima Donna “radio/TV” personalities who always put himself/herself above the interview. Too many of them in NZ’s media industry Kathryn, keep it up and thank you.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Diabetes drugs labelled barrier to Māori and Pasifika
Q: Can you explain what Pharmac is proposing to change here?
Pharmac intends to relax the special authority criteria and broaden access to these diabetes drugs beyond those with high cardiovascular risk, moving away from an emphasis on kidney disease risk toward wider population eligibility.
Air NZ boss on the airline's course through the fuel crisis
Q: Is there a path back to profitability, and when might that occur?
Yes, a path exists, with a two-to-three year timeline focused on fighting fit operations, reducing costs tied to engine issues, and building resiliency through the strategic reset and stakeholder collaboration.
Air NZ boss on the airline's course through the fuel crisis
Q: What determines which routes stay or get expanded?
Network planning weighs short-term demand, long-term forecast, and the need to maintain connectivity so the whole network remains viable and efficient, not just individual routes.
Technology with Peter Griffin
Q: Can it spot scams?
The host asks whether the AI agents can identify scams, and the guest suggests that this is an area to be tested and watched, indicating that effectiveness on scams is not guaranteed and requires evaluation.
Parenting: sharing the mental load
Q: What's your advice to someone who feels overwhelmed by the mental load in their relationship?
Start by naming and documenting tasks, then assign responsibilities for whole processes rather than offering to help. Have a regular planning session to set who handles what and ensure tasks aren't dumped back onto the original person, which helps shift ownership and reduce resentment.
