The New Zealand Young Writers fest is coming up in Ōtepoti later on this year, and guest curator Jennifer Cheuk is aiming to bring the festival further around Aotearoa.
This year is also seeing the fest traverse various different mediums, expanding far on the idea of what it means to be a writer.
Liam had a chat to Jenn about the events she’s been working on, and the current writing scene in Dunedin as a whole.
For this week's weekly catch-up Caeden asked Minister Andrew Little about Labour's fair pay announcement for the defense force.
They also ask about an RNZ article claiming MBIE has expanded their intelligence wing, and where this government's fear around mass migration has come from.
They also, perhaps regrettably, ask about a TikTok the Minister made with Prime Minister Chris Hipkins.
Charles Ninow is a new gallery space that has recently opened at 102/203 Karangahape Road.
Ninow is a dealer, auctioneer, and promoter of fine art in Aotearoa who draws inspiration from the first-principles approach of New Zealand’s earliest commercial galleries of the 1960s and 1970s, believing in the transformative power of art by committing to expanding its audience.
Ralph Paine: Leaves from a Pillow Book is Ninow’s first and opening exhibition in this new space, continuing on from some of the less well known artists and projects he worked on and championed at his former boutique gallery and auction house, Bowerbank Ninow.
Sofia caught up with Charles about the new space and the exhibition by Paine.
Recently there has been news regarding the possible closure of the longest standing Māori radio station, Te Ūpoko o Te Ika. The news comes as time runs out for an ongoing dispute to be settled between the license holders of the station. The local iwi radio who currently hold the licence due to older legislation put through by a former National government, is looking to expand and wants to merge with Ūpoko. This has meant Ūpoko cannot access its monthly operating funds from Te Māngai Pāho. Operating on its reserve funds means the station may only last until the end of the month and 11 people will lose their jobs. As well as this, the tuakana of Māori radio will cease to exist. There has been a number of calls for the government to step in and stop this from happening. NZ First is an advocate for iwi radio so Lillian Hanly spoke with Jenny Marcroft about her perspective on the matter.
We thought we would revisit this story from earlier this year. Mitchell and Hugh discuss the carbon credits system available at Hinewai which has become increasingly popular with large businesses allowing them to offset unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions. The system has allowed the reserve to expand and encompass a significant area on the peninsula which has rejuvenated naturally without planting and minimal pest control. Mitchell begins by asking Hugh a little bit about the history of the Reserve and how its arrived at where its at today.
