Learning new things can do wonders for elderly mental health but, c'mon guys, learning new things can be _hard_. Our guest, a doctoral student from the University of Auckland who is studying dance and brain function, says: not necessarily.

Natalie stops in to chat about the piece she's helped bring to TEMPO, the yearly festival of dance that unites 700+ artists to perform in a vibrant programme that celebrates the discipline's diversity. Natalie's piece, Orchids, was a collaborative three years in the making and while it's sadly sold out this time around... it'll hopefully return to Auckland audiences soon before it launches into the wider world.

Hayden joins us to talk how to Get It to Te Papa, the quest for underappreciated cultural kiwi artifacts he deems to be deserving of New Zealand’s national museum in Wellington. So what are these underrated artifacts? We're talking Big Fresh’s dancing fruit & vegetables, the infamous flying Waitangi Dildo, and Auckland’s winking-eyed Santa. Even 95bFM's very own News Director, Lillian, chimes in with analogies of said artifacts.
