Rob's throwing us straight back into the existential deep-end this week with a look at personalities: what are they and where the heck do they come from?

This morning Rob takes us on a sleigh ride through his list of 'Things He Didn't Know About Christmas Until He Googled It'. Whakarongo mai nei for some festive facts and Chrimbo cheer!

Rob brings in a couple of special topics this week. He teaches Rachel and Tess about the effects of Catnip (safe for animals?) and opens up a debate over the best crisp flavour, must to Tess's dismay.

Rob brings in a plethora of fishy puns. From D Double Eel, to Pearl Clam, they come rolling in from Rob and the listeners. Plus, a guide through coral damage from climate change and how the fish can rebuild. Nice.

Rob's teaching us about Pareidolia this morning, the act of seeing faces in objects, or mountains alike. And whatver you do, don't mention spiders.

We're taking a ride back to the dawn of left and right handed folk. Where does it come from? Why are we like this? Is there a deeper meaning? Rob's in the know.

Rob's come across the Wim Hof Method, and he's skeptical. Can some fast paced believing really make you immune to the cold? Could be worth a go. Dubious.

Rob couldn't choose between two fascinating topics today, so he's here with both. Running us through the origin of the orange (the word not the fruit), asking which came first? And why don't we call yellow, banana? Always asking the hard questions. Secondly, Rob educates us on the fastest moving ant. Wow.
