We tend to think that being lost is a bad thing, but what if it’s exactly what we need? Tonight we let go of the beaten track, abandoning our maps and to-do lists for instinct and curiosity. Let yourself wander through the musical wonderland that is Universal Harmony. Where will you go when there are no rules?
Featuring friend segments; the Sound of Sydney with Carlos Avilés and Higher Porpoise from Jon Bernais.

2025 saw the highest rise in ocean temperatures since modern measurements began, marking a worrying increase in the pace of the climate crisis. Ocean temperature measurements are one of the most accurate measures of climate change, and have significant impacts on multiple ecological factors, including weather.
To discuss rising ocean temperatures and what they mean for the world, News Director Castor spoke to one of the authors on the paper discussing the findings, distinguished scholar at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, and honorary faculty member at the Department of Physics at the University of Auckland, Kevin Trenberth, about rising ocean temperatures and the potential ramifications.
Two large retailers, Yoyoso and EB Games, recently announced their intention to close. The announcements follow the closure of multiple other retailers, as business owners struggle to stay afloat amidst rising costs and declining customer bases.
To discuss the problem, its causes, and potential solutions, News Director Castor spoke to Chief Executive at Retail NZ, Carolyn Young.
In November last year, feral cats were added to the list of predators to be eliminated in the New Zealand wide ambition ‘Predator Free 2050’.
The decision recognises the long-held concerns of conservationists that the uncontrolled wild cat population is endangering native animals including birds.
Courtney Addision, a Senior Lecturer in Science in Society at the Victoria University of Wellington, published an article in the Conversation voicing concerns about the move — including the distinction between feral, stray and domestic cats, as well as how welfare considerations need to be visited in approaching this species.
For Green World this week, Wire Host Sara spoke to Addison about the issue, in the context of wider environmental and ethical implications going forward.
