  • Coffee Break - The Will to Change (1/4)

    Beginning the series inspired by bell hooks, we take a look at what we know the kiwi male to be. The constant that is always thrown into media outlets and articles to try box us into specific, rigid identities. What does a kiwi bloke look like, sound like, look like?

  • S4E15 - Xenophobia
    The journey has been tough to listen to as it has been to write. Xenophobia has always been one of our worst traits, and it's known around the globe. We unpack some headlines that look at xenophobia in a light often shaded. We end how we started; we'll leave you to figure out how we did just that. Peace and love, we hope you enjoyed.

  • S4E14 - Tūhoe Raids

    We travel back to the headlines of 2007, dissecting a seminal moment in year that changed race relations in New Zealand. This was not the first time they had been raided, and if we choose to ignore history, it wont be the last time either.

  • S4E13 - Family Violence
    Instead of focusing on the many cases published by news media detailing family violence, we continue our journey on the Needs with some of the headlines that touch on factors of family violence. One of our worst attributes as a nation, this is a topic that will often make a sensationalized headline but not a roundtable panel discussion.

  • S4E12 - Pike River Mine
    In one of our darkest times, we made conspiracy headlines and bad news documentaries episodes with one of the darkest cover ups our country has seen. Pike River Mine had a large impact on how we let offshore interest and the economy play apart on our kiwi lifestyle and health and safety regulations.

  • S4E11 - Foreshore and Seabed
    On the final stretch for the season, we uncover a piece of history hidden from the spotlight on purpose. Finding content for this episode required many trips to the library and late night scrolling on old message boards. The smallest moments in history bring out the largest personalities and comments; and the guys unpack them with the hope we don't repeat this.p

  • S4E10 - Christchurch Earthquake
    A deadly earthquake with aftershocks that led to the most uncertain times for Cantabrians, has led to a decade long wound that a rebuild could never fix. The Red Zone, private insurance claims and government officials sitting on their hands are just a few situations we unpack in this episode.

  • S4E9 - Drinking Culture

    Side B commences with a generational faux pas we love to call ‘binge drinking’. We skip over the effects and harm alcohol can cause us as an individual and immediately get into the nitty gritty the headlines omit.

  • S4E8 - Climate Change

    Uncharted territory. The boundary broken as we begin Episode 8; never before seen in an Unpack Season. The most current of issues that is Climate Change is reserved for this moment. The guys unpack the hysteria, veganism protests and the behemoth that is the energy crisis.

  • S4E7 - Springbok Tour

    Often spoken about in the history books as 'the closest New Zealand got to a civil war', we end the season how we began it; looking into our rugby culture. We introduce a new segment called In the Thick of the Ink, and comb through some tense and scary rhetoric concerning our future.
