Director Roberto Nascimento and comedian Kura Forrester are in to talk about their local cult webseries The Adventures of Suzy Boon. The series follows an outsider who's just trying to find her place in the world - and with season one set in the Immigration Department and season two in a Brazillian prison, you can only imagine the kind of antics that go down. Said to be a mix of Broad City and Orange Is The New Black and featuring local favourites Tom Sainsbury and Cori Gonzalez-Macuer, it's sure to tickle ye old funny bones. Both seasons are available now on TVNZ On Demand.

What’s so funny about statistics? Nothing. Unless you are one! Kolopa joins us to studio to talk about her #woke new show Memoirs of a Statistic. Get up close and personal with whatever thoughts you may have around beneficiaries, identity politics, drop-outs, alkies, gangstas, and cultural appropriation, all while sippin’ on some good ethically-sourced Tongan vanilla bean lattes. Tirohia koe I te tiata. Nga mihi. (Translation for Don Brash and co: Go see the show. Thank you.)

His name may be Lerner but he's not averse to teaching a thing or two! Geoff Lerner of the Univerisity of Auckland's School of Environment is in the studio to talk a bit about his research into volanic hazards, and how this directly impacts people living in places such as Mt. Taranaki - research that wouldn't have been nearly as possible without a lively pursuit of post graduate studies. Don't take our word for it though - let this bright, young individual show you the path to academic enlightenment...

Everyone's outraged! PC culture's gone too far! But what's important to note here is that Tim Batt's outrage is better than yours. The comedian, podcast host and king of banter joins Mike in studio to discuss his Auckland run of My Outrage Is Better Than Your Outrage at the Comedy Festival, ft. sage advice on why certain tropes should just go in the bin already.
