  • 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.

New report urges a rethink on ageing population cost burden
Q: OK Denise, so it's there in theory, but you want to see it pull together. And we were talking about the lack of data on the unpaid work and the volunteerism, that's one set of data you want to see up, and presumably a government agency taking that on.
We need to bring together the data on unpaid work, volunteering, carer stress, and the value of caring to the economy, so we can clearly show the positive impact of an ageing population and identify where investments and policy changes will yield the most benefit.
Jesse Griffin's latest work Lucky Luke debuts tonight
Q: What's the evolution of the project from festival to broader release or potential streaming?
The project began as a short film for Show Me Shorts, with a strong focus on the character Luke and the dynamics of a teenage situation, and it has already generated momentum including a Best Director nomination, with potential expansion into a longer format depending on funding and opportunities.
Jesse Griffin's latest work Lucky Luke debuts tonight
Q: Are there future plans for Lucky Luke, by the way?
Yes, I'd love to make it into a feature film and I've been beavering away on the script and figuring out where the characters could go and where the story could go.
EatClub dining platform enters NZ market
Q: Could you just explain how EatClub works?
EatClub enables real-time, dynamic discounts that restaurants can offer for spare tables to fill off-peak times, while customers use a Mastercard-linked digital dining card to redeem offers and pay discreetly at the venue, creating a seamless in-restaurant experience.
The creepy act that inspired Catherine Chidgey's new novel
