This week Tomorrow's World toes the line of the social sciences, investigating the explosion of reality TV content. From fourth wall breaks, to why it's so consumed, to performative femininity, to whether societal values are actually reflected in formats and duty of care for participants of reality shows. Stella and Isla speak to Rebecca Trelease, who's winding up her PhD at AUT on the subject.
Our beloved Viewmaster is back and this week he chats about the second season of Hunters, which has apparently gone "balls to the wall"! Whakarongo mai nei!

Julie Stout has recently been announced as the 2021 New Zealand Institute of Architects Gold Medalist. The award is a big deal in the architecture world - it’s the highest honour for architecture in Aotearoa, and recognises architects for their life’s work and contribution to the advancement of architecture in New Zealand. Julie is not only an architect but she is also an educator and an activist, and she is the first ever woman to receive the award.
