Charlotte Ryan checks in with 95bFM correspondent Molly, who ventured down to Ōtautahi to catch all the action at the 2025 APRA Silver Scroll Awards Kaitito Kaiaka at the Isaac Theatre Royal. Whakarongo mai nei to hear from the Silver Scroll finalists on the red carpet and some highlights from the night's proceedings.
Mat makes a delicious mānuka-smoked mint julep this week, tune in to catch the recipe and make this refresher at home. Thanks to our friends at Thomson Whiskey.
Chris discusses the recent report from Dr. Rose Crossin at the Helen Clark Foundation which finds that the government spends 1.4% of it's annual 'drug budget' goes towards harm reduction. The report also finds that Kiwis want a greater portion of funding allocated to community-focused health-based appraoches. Also, a Nelson man has been sentenced for growing cannabis and supplying 'green fairies'. And, the Green Party have a new platform seeking the public's opinion on cannabis reform in light of five years passing since the referendum on the Cannabis Legislation and Control Bill. Thanks to The Hemp Store!

International research to understand the relationship between degenerative brain diseases and head knocks that occur in contact sports continues to develop, with New Zealand researchers calling for a delay for children’s involvement in contact sports until they are older.
Risk factors are not exclusive to concussions, or to professional players. Producer Jasmine Gray spoke to Dr. Helen Murray, Senior Research Fellow and Head of Brain Injury & Neurodegeneration Research at Waipapa Taumata Rau, about the recommendation to delay contact sports to reduce the risk of degenerative brain diseases later in life.
