Leading Egyptologist Joyce Tyldesley's new book unwraps the story of the boy pharoah who captured the world's imagination. Tutankhamun inherited the pharonic throne age eight years old. His intact tomb was discovered to great furore a hundred years ago this month, in the Valley of the Kings near Luxor, by British archaeologist and Egyptologist Howard Carter. Tutankhamun is Egypt's most famous king. His exhibitions draw huge crowds as it travels the world. His appeal is perhaps summed up in the title of Joyce Tyldesley's book Tutankhamun: Pharaoh, Icon, Enigma. She shares ten perspectives on the pharaoh's life, death and enduring legacy with Kathryn Ryan.

The Correspondence School Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu is celebrating its centenary with a new book tracking its rich and colourful history. The school which began in 1922 with only a few dozen students has touched the lives of millions of New Zealanders to become a national institution and the largest school in the country. From back block country stations to far flung lighthouses, it delivered distance learning to children in some of the country's most remote places before expanding to include children with disabilities and any child who couldn't attend school. Later it grew further to include early childhood and adult education, along with dual learning for students wanting subjects not offered at their own school. The book - Going the Distance - traces the history of the school through pictures, personal stories and memories from the teachers, students and families for whom correspondence provided an educational lifeline. Kathryn is joined by author Gael Woods.

The National party wants to bring back military style bootcamps to "re--programme" young repeat offenders. The policy announced yesterday would see repeat offenders aged between 10 and 17 convicted of serious crimes like ram-raids, armed burglary or assault potentially sent to new military academies run by the Ministry of Justice and the Defence Force. The party says, if necessary, young offenders could be monitored by ankle bracelets. National rolled out nine-week boot camps when it was in Government in 2010 that later reported high levels of reoffending and were shut down over an apparent lack of participants. In 2017 it revived the policy on the campaign trail. Kathryn speaks with Chester Borrows, former Minister for Courts in the John Key-led National Government. He has spent 45 years in the criminal justice system as a police officer, lawyer and is a current member of the Parole Board.
