Kim, Tyla & Taryn are in the Locker Room unpacking the “eras” they’re currently living in — from work-life mode to full-on suitcase era and everything in between.
Then Tyla throws out the big question: what actually counts as acceptable breakfast food? (Spoiler: opinions are strong.)
We wrap things up with a round of Vibe or Unsubscribe… which, as always, goes slightly off the rails.

Gore District Mayor Ben Bell joins us to break down the Government’s ‘Head Start’ pathway — what it is, why it’s happening, and what it could mean for our community. It’s early days with no decisions locked in, but we unpack why Gore may need to work alongside other councils, what terms like “unitary authority” actually mean, and how this process fits with the wider Local Government Commission review. We also dive into the five potential options on the table — from a single Southland council to more rural-focused models — plus what it could mean for local voice, rates, and services. Most importantly, how Gore makes sure it doesn’t get lost in the mix, and how you can have your say before submissions close mid-July.

We catch up with Wyndham’s Sophie White, fresh back on home soil after representing New Zealand in China with the 2026 Pony Club Exchange Team. She fills us in on the whole experience — from the highs of competing and connecting overseas, to what it meant to wear the fern on the world stage.

Q & Nathan step in for The Locker Room lads and we get stuck into the bull sale that just smashed a national record — and what those eye-watering prices actually mean for rural communities on the ground. From there, the chat turns real, with the lads sharing what they reckon needs a shake-up across local councils right through to central government.
