Today on the Tuesday wire, 95bFM News were lucky enough to talk to Mandy Henk of Tohatoha NZ about how profit based access models can harm Aotearoa, and how we can make our digital world more equitable, democratic and sustainable for scholars and learners.
Host Jemima Huston takes over the Monday Wire for Jessica Hopkins and Louis Macalister who produced the show from home.
This week on the show, Jessica talks to Conversion Therapy Action group's Shaneel Lal about how people can have a say on the proposed legislation to ban harmful conversion therapy practices.
She also speaks with Dr Paula O’Kane from Otago Business School on how employers can best support their employees during lockdown.
Louis interviews Author Mandy Hager about her new book, Aotearoa's History of Protest.
He also speaks to The University of Otago’s Professor Elisabeth Slooten and Sea Shepherd's Michael Lawry about critically endangered Maui and Hectors Dolphins.
And finally, Louis talked to Dr Kyle Clem from Victoria University of Wellington about how a blob of warm water off the east coast of Aotearoa is causing drought in South America.
To end off the year, Joel replays some of their favourite queer tracks on the show, and catches up with the runner-up's of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under Season 4, Mandy Moobs and Vybe, and the winner, Lazy Susan!
From Rihanna Puma diffusion line slides to Crocs™ to plastic shoe specialists with jazzy websites (and jazzier quotes), this week's all about 'jellies'. The shoe that asks the question: just how sweaty are your feet?
