Wood left high school early, associating with drugs and violence, committing crimes to maintain his habit. At 18 years old, he went to prison in Paremoremo Prison for murdering his 42 year old drug dealer, after he attempted to sexually assault Wood. Wood was convicted of murder and served 11 years in prison.

Wood's mother passed away three days before the murder. He served part of his sentence in Paremoremo Prison, which he described as "New Zealand’s toughest facility."

Wood completed his undergraduate and master's degrees while imprisoned, and he commenced a PhD, which he completed in 2011. He is the first New Zealander to have achieved both feats. In 2019 he published a biography titled, How to Escape from Prison.

In this episode, host Reagan White dives headfirst into the world of scams - starting with the time he got scammed himself! From fake debt collectors to dodgy double glazers... it's a cautionary tale of modern rip-offs. Chris Turnbull shares how he and others fell victim to a window installation company, before managing to track down the scammer. Reagan also speaks with Mark Francis from Debt Managers, who wants to flip the “intimidating debt collector” stereotype on its head. Finally, Jessica Walker from Consumer NZ lays out the scary stats, legal grey areas, and emotional toll of being scammed - and why the most confident people often fall first.

 - Taupō District Council David Trewaves fronts up on the podcast - we ask him what his council is up to extending and upgrading its agreement with Iwi and why it’s being done so secretly?

 - And a couple of fisherman in the area who film their content on the rivers running into Lake Taupō have had to stop because the local iwi have said they must pay a fee to carry on. These guys are just ordinary jokers they're not some flashy business.
