For Dear Science this week, our expert Doctor Cushla McGoverin chatted with us about worms eating face masks, spray on tattoos, and neanderthal-human interbreeding. Afterward, we ran back some clips from some of the best Dear Science segments this year.
We also ran back some of the best Tuesday Wire interviews today, including…

They also spoke with President of the New Zealand Police Association Chris Cahill about the organisation’s open letter to the government regarding their involvement with firearms legislation reform.
And they spoke with Professor at the University of Auckland, James Russell to talk about the costs and methods of pest eradication in Aotearoa.
Producer Athena spoke with Professor at the University of Auckland, Ngaire Kerse, about the loneliness epidemic among older people.
On this week's Monday Wire, we reflect on our favourite interviews from 2024, as we wrap up our reporting for the year.
In August, for her weekly catch up with the ACT Party's Simon Court, Producer Evie spoke to him about the proposed repeal of Section 7AA of the Oranga Tamariki Act on the same day Aotearoa’s largest iwi, Ngāpuhi, was on a hikoi in opposition to the proposal. You can listen back to this interview here.
A week prior to this, Evie also spoke to Emmy Rakete, a lecturer at the University of Auckland who is Ngāpuhi herself, about the hikoi and her thoughts on the proposed repeal. You can listen back to this interview here.
In October, News and Editorial Director, and Monday Wire Host, Joel, spoke to Professor in the Faculty of Law at the Auckland University of Technology (AUT), Paul Myburgh, about the legislative implications of the Inquiry into the sinking of the HMNZS Manawanui, as well as Lecturer in the Department of Marine Science at the University of Otago, Dr Bridie Allan, about what environmental implications we were seeing due to the oil spillage. You can listen back to these interviewshere.
And in November, Producer Yesenia spoke to E Tū Union's Savage Director of Organisations at E Tū about the core messages workers have for the ministry of Health and where the Work and Safety Act of 2015 could be improved to reflect workers vitality. You can listen to this interview here.
