  • What does globalisation mean in 2025?
    Last week some of the world's most influential economists gathered for the University of Auckland's inaugural International Economics Workshop.

  • Ring your bell! What is electric bike etiquette
    Today on Morning Report, there was an interview about electric bikes on the Timber Trail, which led to many listeners giving feedback about electric bike riding in general. And that, along with the fair-weather cyclists joining the daily commute, got us thinking about electric bike and electric scooter etiquette. Some pedestrians say shared pathways are beginning to feel more like busy highways - especially with some riders reaching speeds of up to 40 kilometres an hour. Sharing paths sounds great in theory, but what about in practice? Here to help is e-bike enthusiast Richard Graham.

  • It's hot! So hot! Is this the new normal?
    Summer has well and truly arrived, with the heat a big topic of conversation in the RNZ office. MetService has issued a heat alert for Hawke's Bay warning residents to take care as temperatures are expected to hit a high of 34 degrees in Hastings. Gisborne, Napier and Wairoa will also experience temperatures in the early 30s today. That seems hot - especially for early December - but is it? MetService meteorologist John Law joins Jesse

  • How can we ensure our kids are safe playing sport?
    We're all aware of the benefits of children playing sport; learning to work as part of a team, increasing fitness, developing self-confidence, the list goes on. But these benefits can only be realised if children have positive experiences. A recent International Olympic Committee consensus statement found that between 44 per cent and 86 per cent of children experience interpersonal violence in sport environments this includes bullying, sexism, racism, homophobia, and sexual abuse. New research has raised questions about the current approaches to stopping abuse in children's sport and has highlighted the role local councils can play in problematic behaviour. Lead researcher from Melbourne's Monash University Dr Erik Denison has spent over a decade studying ways to stop discrimination and abuse in sport in Australia and New Zealand. He Joins Jesse.
