Will fills in hosting duties on todays show as Lillian heads off to Europe. Despite the lack of mature leadership the show still continues on with AUT's Allan Blackman joining us for Dear Science. We talk flouride, smart New Caledonian crows and scorching hot nights. Jennifer Rose Tamati talks to the newly appointed chairwoman of the Maori language commission about the future of Te Reo. Darashpreet talks to Louise Green from the New Zealand Educational Institute  about planned primary school teacher strikes. And finally Lisa talks to Barrister Catriona MacLennan about MSD debt recovery.
