New Game called Sooth: August 29, 2018

Andra, founding member, and Nik, co-creator, of a game called Sooth, joined Lillian Hanly in studio this week. They are part of a group of people who came together to do prototypes, artwork, and testing in order to get this game ready for commercial use. What is this game you say? Essentially it’s a question game with yes or no answers. The rules are very loose and you can really make the game whatever you want it to be, whether it is serious or just fun. Some of the questions go like this, Do you tolerate intolerance? Do you go by the name your parents gave you? Are you famous enough to be in the news when you’re arrested for intoxication? Is a headmaster more important than a politician? Anyway. The best way of understanding the game is to play it. So Lillian started by asking Nik and Andra how this all began and then got some fellow bFMers in the studio to play the game…

So that was Sooth! If you’re interested in playing you might want to go checkout their facebook page to find out more or get in touch with them, as well as head to their Boosted page to support the effort.

One third of New Zealanders, including 43% of children, live in rental homes. 

This trend is at odds with the Kiwi dream (and expected reality) of owning a white-picket-fence villa by the time you reach 30.

As society shifts, regulations stay the same. Which is why the government wishes to review the current legislation, and make it more accurate. 

Proposals have been made, areas are being looked into, and consultation is on its way, until October 21st. 

Producer Lisa Boudet delves into the proposed changes, and the reactions on either side of the spectrum.
