  • 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.

Auckland congestion charging options unveiled
Q: What impact might this have on those living near the cordon or fringe?
Homes and workers on city fringes could face charges or benefit from concessions; the design should minimize unintended displacement of traffic to residential streets and ensure access to alternatives.
Auckland congestion charging options unveiled
Q: What is the problem it is endeavouring to solve?
The aim is to change travel behaviour to reduce peak congestion, not just to generate revenue; the charge should encourage use of public transport or off-peak travel, while considering equity and access to alternatives.
Learning a new language
Q: Is it true that coding languages like Python and R count as languages?
Maths can be considered a language and possibly programming languages as well, depending on how broadly you define language; the guest suggests yes, it can be seen as another form of language.
Learning a new language
Q: Could you please ask whether Duolingo is a good tool for learning a language?
Duolingo is excellent for self-learning and brain training, but it should not replace real-life practice with humans to build practical fluency and deeper neural pathways.
Asia correspondent Elizabeth Bettie
Q: What is the latest on the search for bodies and the death toll?
Elizabeth Bettie describes a week since the disaster with a large-scale rescue operation, noting over 1,200 confirmed dead and thousands more missing, while rescuers focus on baring access to submerged tunnels where workers may still be alive; the situation is chaotic, with debris and mud complicating efforts.
