As we’ve been speaking about on the show, free speech is basically the topic de jour for New Zealanders at the moment. In the last month we’ve had a visit from controversial canadians Stefan Molyneux and Lauren Southern, and just this week Massey University cancelled an event with former National Party leader Don Brash. However, last night ,Brash had his chance to speak in a debate at the University of Auckland about whether PC culture has limited free speech in this country. Herald senior writer Simon Wilson was in the debate, and spoke with Stewart Sowman-Lund about what happened.

Plus: Kelly, Stewart and Laura discuss the results of the Twitter poll, which asked listeners whether they had ever protested.

Riki Bennett and Rewi Spraggon are hosting a Urban Forage event as part of American Express Restaraunt Month's 5th annual Wine and Food Celebration happening in the city. OnSaturday the 18th of August they’ll be taking people on a guided walk to find different types of edible things in the environment around us. Then you get to eat it. Given we’ve been talking about land this week and our relationship to it, I thought this also fit in terms of how we operate in the environment around us and how we consume things sustainably. Riki Bennett is a park ranger with the Auckland Council of Te Arawa and Ngati Porou descent. He was raised on the shores of Lake Rotoiti. He runs guided walks looking at the forest environment from a traditional perspective and how Māori people used the forest for food and medicinal purposes or rongoa. Lillian Hanly spoke with Riki to find out more about the event, and started by asking what they actually do on the day.
