Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Nadia Lim: Carlos' Favourite Seafood Chowder
Q: Run us through the recipe.
Nadia outlines starting with fresh mussel stock, then sautéing leek and garlic with olive oil, adding smoked paprika and optional saffron, creating a roux with butter and flour, gradually whisking in stock, folding in fish, prawns, and mussels, finishing with lemon juice, parsley or dill, and a dollop of crème fraîche or sour cream.
Dr Bryan Betty: Cervical cancer prevention and HPV screening in NZ
Q: What is HPV screening and why is it important?
HPV screening tests detect the human papillomavirus, the virus that causes the majority of cervical cancers, allowing earlier identification of risk compared to traditional smear tests.
Kate Hall: Sustainable choices you may be making without realising
Q: Yeah, it's very much a test. Yeah. Okay, cool. So run us through them.
Kate walks through the 14 behaviors, from cooking at home and buying local, to repairing clothes, reducing heating and cooling, using public transport or biking, and bringing a bottle to avoid disposable cups, all framed as budget-friendly and practical actions.
Catherine Raynes: Yesteryear and True Crime
Q: What drew you to Yesteryear and what makes its premise feel fresh in a crowded market of climate and social media fiction?
I was grabbed by the time travel angle and the sharp contrast between a simulated ideal life online and the messy reality behind it, which feels very relevant today, and I think Burke handles the dual timelines with warmth and sharp social commentary.
Ruud Kleinpaste: Planting garlic - do it earlier than you think
Q: You got to get it earlier than you think, don't you?
Yes, the guest explains that planting garlic earlier than popular sayings suggest can mitigate allium rust and lead to better harvests, especially in regions like Canterbury where rust is a concern.
