  • Jim mora

    Jim’s program is the only thing I listen to on National radio. It feels like he still talks to the average New Zealander. His interview style is exceptional and he doesn’t seem to think he needs to score personal points but focuses on getting information people want to know about.

  • Best listening of the week!

    Jim is a fantastic interviewer. I only regret that he moved from afternoons and we can’t hear him 5 times a week.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

France on Edge: Ross Cullen in Paris
Q: France can't solve these problems, can it, with the size of its fiscal deficit? It risks what financial analysts are calling a doom loop.
Cullen says demonstrations began with student calls for better education conditions and expanded investment, then broadened to include demands over inflation, wages, taxes, fuel and public services. He describes the government's budget-cutting challenge amid France's debt burden and concerns about possible credit rating downgrades.
France on Edge: Ross Cullen in Paris
Q: Ross, what numbers of protesters and what trouble are we seeing so far this evening?
Cullen says organizers estimated 800,000 protesters nationwide, while the Interior Minister put the figure closer to 400,000. Most demonstrations were peaceful, though some cities saw clashes, tear gas, water cannon, fires and looting.
Out and About: How a White Cane Restores Freedom
Q: Access is what Blind Low Vision wants to stress this year. I'm told, Graham, what can't you easily access still?
Bolton says crossing roads is especially difficult because electric cars can be hard to hear. Without a caregiver, he waits for someone to help him cross; he also describes people walking into him while looking at their phones.
Out and About: How a White Cane Restores Freedom
Q: What happened with your eyesight?
Bolton says his eyesight began failing 14 years earlier. He was diagnosed with macular degeneration, then suffered a hemorrhage that caused him to lose most of the sight in his right eye.
Rosanna Overcomer: Beyond the Gates of Gloriavale
Q: What was the major tipping point when you realized that what you were told about God and the leadership and the way Gloriavale operated didn't match reality?
She says the leaders allowed Elijah to return after hiding her and the children from him, making her realize they were willing to lie to keep the family at Gloriavale.
