Guests Kris Herbert (Our Stories Project) and Kaspar Middendorf (CEISMIC, UC Digital Lab) talk about their recent collaboration to create the "Earthquake Story Walk", broadening out the discussion to ponder the importance of and linkages between storytelling, place and human rights.

What is heritage? And how can it be used to both conserve and uphold human rights, but also undermine and challenge them? Four amazing guests share their views: Hatesa Seumanutafa (Canterbury Museum), Rosie Ibbotson (University of Canterbury), Kerryn Pollock (Heritage NZ) and Victoria Bliss (Christchurch City Council).

In November 2022, the LinC (Leadership in Communities) programme organised a visit to Christchurch's Masjid An Nur (An Nur Mosque). In this special show, we talk with two organisers and five participants about the experience, interviewing them before the visit about their expectations and hopes, and again after the visit to record their reflections, learnings and key moments. What the show demonstrates is the power of inviting people into community spaces to foster understanding and friendship.

Representatives from key leading gambling support services - Bridgitte Thornley (PGF Services), Kelly Fend (Asian Family Services) and Pesio Ah-Honi (Mapu Maia) - talk us through the ways that culture can affect gambling and gambling harm. This is an important show to air in the lead-up to Christmas, when many people feel under increased social and financial pressures, or when loneliness can be especially acute.

Christmas is a time of celebration, whānau, joy – but it can also put pressure on us, including through financial pressures to buy food and presents. The celebration also puts pressure on the environment due to our consumerism and increased waste. In this show, we think about how we might alleviate some of that pressure – both on ourselves and the environment – by reframing our culture of gift giving and being very conscious in what and how we give.
