Earlier today we got a look at Treasury's Pre-election Economic and Fiscal Update. So what is going on? Where ARE we heading?

Joining Emile on the show, from the Palmerston North City Council, is Sports Grounds Team Leader, Andy May.

It's time for us to get up to speed. To tune into the zeitgeist. To chat about what's happening in pop-culture and the world wide web.

Many of us have fond memories of Care Bears, Jem Dolls, Barbies, Sega, GI-Joes... but Tauranga's Melody Wehipeihana has taken it to the next level.

We all know that by definition, they're different. But according to our guest tonight, blurring the lines between the two could be harmful.

If you cast your mind back you might remember the infamous 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment which saw a group of students divided into prisoners and guards ... It was meant to run for 14 days, but was hastily abandoned after things got bad ... we'll get more into what exactly went down soon. Well, Netflix is now giving the experiment a reality TV make-over, with 30 people will enter a quote "real prison" for two weeks ... the show is dropping in October. For my next guest - this raises a whole bunch ethical questions... Joining me now from Western Sydney University is Associate Lecturer in Applied Policing, Dr Noah Cohen.

Journalist and commentator Ben Strang joins the show with the latest sports news. Tonight, we're talking about Man City's charges, South American cricket and the Black Ferns.

Every Monday, we take a moment to look back with our resident historian, Emma Kay. Emma runs Small Histories of New Zealand, where she digs up curious stories, funny articles, and lost treasures from our past and shares them on social media. This week Emma is taking a look at how we got to our current daylight saving system.

Auckland's Heritage Festival has just kicked off - and amongst the many events that will run for the next two weeks, one special display has caught our eye. It's called Grannie's Goodies and can be found at the Orewa Library. It's all about celebrating those cherished family recipes passed down through generations. But turns out the display needs more contributions... Joining Emile is festival spokesperson Rebecca Fox.

It's time to chat about something that fascinates kiwis young and old - it's the ozone layer. Turns out there's a giant ozone hole above the Antarctic right now. This month it peaked to a cool 27 million square kilometers, the biggest in 20 years. So, is this as alarming as it sounds and what is going on with our efforts to protect it? Joining Emile for a chat is Postdoctoral Fellow in Physics at the University of Otago, Hannah Kessenich, who's been writing about this for The Conversation.
