Our television expert might be compromising his double degree to be here but it's alllll good (or so he says). Is reviewing Safe (2018) worth the academic risk? Uhh... sure! Standing at a solid 6.5 rating from the man himself, this Michael Hall starrer (of Dexter fame) is only 10 episodes long with no future seasons in sight. A quick binge indeed - your degree will be fiiiine.
Journalist, filmmaker, producer, and apparent Louis Theroux variant (to the unimaginative on Twitter, at least), David Farrier drops in to the studio to talk about his brand new Netflix series, Dark Tourist. Sadist horror houses, nuclear radiation sites, murder tours... Mike's hooked. But is there anything left for Season Two?
Ngahiriwa is a producer for WAITĪ Productions, repsonsible for the theatre piece I Ain’t Mad At Cha - a sellout offering from Basement Theatre's 2017 Matariki Development Programme. Back for an return season, Ngahiriwa talks to Geneva about how a tale of a hip-hop loving Māori teen in late nineties Gisborne speaks to greater truths about growing up, identity politics and colonisation.

Atypical has stolen Sam's heart, and he's not afraid to say so. And dare he say it, but the second season might be better - I know, a sequel that's superior?! Craziness!
Sam loves American Horror Story and he's not afraid to say it, despite being a three out of ten (Sam says), he still thinks season eight of Ryan Murphy's long standing, anthology horror series deserves an honourable mention. He reckons if you are a fan of American Horror Story then you should continue to do so.
Allan joins us in studio this week to talk all things Nobel! Prize season is upon us, so we break down this year's achievements in Physics and Medicine. First up are immunologists James Allison and Tasuku Honjo who received the medicine Nobel prize for discovering how to release the brakes cancer puts on the immune system, with dramatically postivie results in patients with melanomas. We then celebrate the third female to ever win the physics Nobel, and the first in 55 years Prof Donna Strickland, alongside Arthur Ashkin and Gerard Mourou, for their groundbreaking work with laserbeams.
This week Jemima spoke to Green Paty co-leader, James Shaw, about rising fuel prices and the party's plan to legalise drug testing before the summer festival season. They discussed whether high fuel prices is what will turn New Zealand away from fossil fuels and towards electric vehicles. They also talked about whether introducing legal testing for the safety of drugs at festivals and events is the right move for New Zealand.
Sam joins Tess in studio to talk DC's Legends of Tomorrow, featuring episodes where superhereos travel in time back to Woodstock, 1950's America and the age of punk-rock. So has this series finally peaked in it's fourth season? And special mention goes out to TVNZ's House of Drag, Sam's four episodes deep and he just wants more to be honest.
Making fine use of the silly season book buying rush, Jenna's been asking punters their favourites of 2018. First up: Dolly Alderton's Everything I Know About Love. A collection of essays for those who've become jaded with ye olde Lenny Letter crew, but still want to yell "OMG RIIIITE" at a relatable tale of being young, female and alive (just).
The silly season is approaching and Ange just wants you to look after yourself, okay? Micro-breaks, deep breathing, echinacea, herbal tea... employ the good stuff wherever you can and don't let the hubbub break your stride.
