For your weekly chat about all things spiritual and religious, Oto and Professor Emeritus Peter Lineham talked about the month of Ramadan as it comes to an end this year, and how Muslims have been fasting throughout the month in spite of global events like Israel's war on Gaza.
Last week Foreign Minister Winston Peters made a trip over to the US to meet with the new Trump administration.
On the trip, Peters carried out a number of meetings with officials such as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Peters has since revealed very little about what was discussed or achieved in these meetings, instead simply stating he was ‘very pleased’ and ‘more confident going out than coming in.’
The main questions ahead of the trip were around what effect Trump’s tariffs may have on Aotearoa, as well as what trade with the US will look like moving forward. However little has been revealed following the trip.
Producer Evie spoke to Geopolitical Analyst at the University of Otago Geoffrey Miller about the trip and what Aotearoa can expect to come out of it.
Featuring an interview with Liv from Dos-Ovni about their songwriting and performance process, and their ability to create vast soundscapes on stage with only two members. We also discussed how their music informs their video content which reinforces Dos-Ovni's strength in the doomgaze genre.
Last week the ACT Party announced that they were going to stand candidates in the local elections for the first time.
The party is calling for a ‘clean out’ of councils, slating them for failing to make change. The claims have been met with backlash from councillors who say David Seymour and the party don’t understand the work that goes into local government.
For our weekly catch up Producer Evie spoke to the ACT Party’s Simon Court about what decisions lead to the move, and what the party hopes to achieve in local government.
They also discussed ACT MP Mark Cameron who made headlines last week for saying National was leaving farmers and rural communities worse off than James Shaw did due to their higher emission reduction promises.
And finally we also discussed David Seymour failing to inform Education Minister Erica Stanford that a key school lunch provider was going into liquidation.
