  • Long time fan but.. the sound quality could be improved

    The interviews are great and the topics are diverse. But something about the sound quality is subtly grating, sometimes I can’t endure it. It probably isn’t noticeable on radio, and maybe age plays a role too. It sounds like lossy compression has been used and the compression is too aggressive. I love this show and I recommend it, but I can’t give five stars at this time because of the sound quality.

  • Fills the kiwi cup

    As a kiwi living in the USA this podcast fills my cup and gives that dose of kiwi news and interviews. Kim is iconic.

    My only ask is release the full Saturday morning program in a one episode. (Would be nice to just put on the full episode and catch up instead of selecting each story) cheers

The research underscores the need for awareness in hazard planning and urban planning regarding how changing Earth processes will affect our future.
Increased risk of earthquakes with climate change
Q: How strong is the evidence for that?
The drop in lake level occurred over about 500 to 1,000 years, mapped with increased fault line activity, showing a clear correlation between climate change and earthquake propensity.
Increased risk of earthquakes with climate change
Q: What have you found here in terms of the relationship between climate change and, I guess, falling lake levels in this lake in Kenya and the propensity for earthquakes?
The research shows that changing climates may alter the likelihood of earthquakes at specific locations. While this likelihood can increase or decrease, it's the long-term statistical likelihood that's significant rather than immediate occurrences.
Dr Jonathan Mathias Lassiter: Mental health in marginalised communities
Q: Is that the kind of thing you like to incorporate into your work?
Yes, I practice from an African-centered psychological perspective that emphasizes community and relationship over individual achievement.
Dr Jonathan Mathias Lassiter: Mental health in marginalised communities
Q: How does it feel for you personally as a black man, as a gay man in the United States right now?
