TYLA, the charity at the challenging end of life, where the troubled youth literally assaults you and continues to harm until you're incapacitated.
Yes, we are focusing on the young people whom we'd rather ignore and pretend don’t exist.
But they do.
Jolene and Nooroa are the frontline workers in a cash-strapped charity. They handle these violent kids involved in random beatings at train stations and bus stops.
So, how do they deal with these kids? What steps do they take to turn their lives around? How difficult is it? And who is willing to support TYLA?"

Wed, 15 May 2024 - 325 - Ria Hall: Tauranga Mayoral Candidate
Leading Maori singer, songwriter actor and short film maker Ria Hall now wants to add Mayor of Tauranga to her growing list of achievements.
Why get involved in the messy difficult world of local body politics…
It’s because Ria Hall is impatient for change and wants her people to be represented in those discussions. She wants a Maori voice at the table so why not hers, she says. She doesn’t want her people to be shut down and shut out of the dialogue.
Tauranga is a tough one - no democracy for years and it needs a game changing mayor with a difference to pull the city together and not tear it apart. Is she the person to do that?

I want to get a picture of crime in NZ today, and I want it explained. Former top cop, forensic investigator Lance Burdett joins me. What’s going on? Who is behind the rise of violent crime? Who on earth actually loads a gun and brings it to town and kills a man? What sort of deluded, detached, thug lives in that universe? How many of these cold, ruthless animals exist in NZ?
Crime worries us, and gangs can intimidate us, so are the Police up to the job?
If crime and public safety worry you, don’t go anywhere - a special and deep insight into the minds of the delusional, the dangerous, and the downright dickheads.

He's the man that stood up to Pharmac and the last government, a man who exposed just how far behind the world we are when it comes to lifesaving drugs.
Malcolm Mulholland is a humble, hard working Kiwi hero who has saved and extended lives across the nation.
So, with Paula Bennett being Pharmac's new sheriff in town, how will she go, where are we at, and what needs to happen now?
Plus, what on earth do we do with all this thuggery on our streets at the moment? Ponsonby's LA-style killing has me seriously questioning things.

The shooting in Ponsonby on Sunday night wreaks of something in downtown LA...but this is Auckland, New Zealand. Who does that? But this is now normal. These gangs and their thugs have been exported from Australia and this is how they deal with things. They're ruthless, have no moral compass, and are deluded. There's no room for bail with these idiots. Let's get on with it.

Sun, 05 May 2024 - 316 - Slam Dunc: Rip off that red tape and bananas!
The red tape around building in this country is keeping us out of pocket, slowing us down, choking our families, and choking our economy. We look like snails in comparison to Australia - it took under 6 months for me to build a house in Australia, whereas here, on average it takes 600 days, almost 2 years! No wonder it costs twice as much here as it does there...
It's not about removing safety measures, it's about removing the un-justifiable barriers that are getting in the way of progress.
Let's break the shackles of 'red tape' in this country and let's go for it.

Mon, 19 Feb 2024 - 246 - The quest for truth in the shadow of war: The Bagshaw's fight for justice
The void left by Andrew Bagshaw is one that words can hardly fill—a New Zealand aid worker whose aspirations led him to the perilous frontlines of Ukraine, only to have his life taken from him and his family.
On today's episode his parents, Phil and Sue, recount Andrew's transformation from a young man grappling with career uncertainties to a figure of valour, determined to respond to the cries of injustice echoing from a war-torn land. They unveil the sobering details of Andrew's death alongside his friend, Chris Parry, and the frustrating path to uncovering the truth of their son's final days.
The Bagshaw's poignant narrative reveals the unseen battles fought by those left behind. Their story is a clarion call for justice and humanitarianism; their pursuits, a testament to the enduring spirit of their son.
This episode is not just a tribute to Andrew Bagshaw but also a reminder of our shared responsibility to hold fast to the narratives that demand our attention and action.
