Sam joins Rachel and Tess to talk about the doco-series that everyone's had on the tip of their tongues, Tiger King (2020). An absolutely bonkers story that follows Joe Exotic and unravels right in front of your eyes. You can't miss this one, need we say more?
Lord couch potato Steve Newall returns to save lockdown couch casualties with hot TV tips. Ranging from Go South (12 hours of NZ train footage, Auckland to Milford), Hellraiser (1987), and a sprinkle of TV series recommendations.
After a weekend of tears, Sam's completely invested in I Know This Much Is True (2020). Based on the 1998 novel, this is a moving series that's sure to bring you to tears. Highly recommended by Sam.

Sam joins us for a review of the latest season of 13 Reasons Why (2017-2020) and it's safe to say this is not a show Sam reckons you should watch. Sam chats to Rachel about some of the problematic narratives in the series and why you should definitely watch something else.
Laura Borrowdale's name might be familiar as the brains behind 'Aotearotica', an ongoing journal series of erotic writing and art from New Zealand and beyond. She's just written a book called 'Sex, With Animals' (the comma is important) and she popped into the studio for a chat about it.
Sam returns for Viewmaster! With a backlog of good TV to review, Sam kicks it off with I May Destroy You (2020). A series that contains a TW but is very very good, possibly the best of 2020 so far. Huge.
Sam's got TV for us to watch this weekend (phew!) and it's called Love Life. Anna Kendrick stars in a series filled with love and feel good moments. Sam reckons this one will get you thinking about your exes.
Kiran is talking about Ali Smith's 'Summer', the fourth and final installment in her 'Seasons' series that tracks the big politics of the day in real-time lyrical storytelling. Whakarongo mai nei to hear more!
Sam binge watched Duchess (2020) on Netflix and reckons it's a bit of fun. A short, autobiographical, series about Katherine Ryan and her journey through motherhood. Definitely a good one for a two-hour-binge that's sure to make you laugh and cry.
