Afternoons

Wallace Chapman and Jesse Mulligan star in the shortest show on radio, where they show they really can make something out of nothing, join them to be part of their delight, or to simply despair. Wallace will also preview what's on The Panel tonight.

Passionate conservationist Nicola Toki chats to Jesse about this week's critter of the week, the brown tree frog. With its cricket-like call, sticky climbing toes and talent for blending into the garden, this little Australian import has made itself right at home in parts of Aotearoa. You're more likely to hear one before you see one, especially on a damp evening when the chorus gets going.

Jesse chats to green thumb guru Lynda Hallinan about all things gardening.

Emilie Pullar from burntbuttertable.com shares her recipe for bolognese. She says, this Bolognese takes a little time, but don't let that put you off, most of the cooking is completely hands off. It's deeply rich and packed with flavour, with a few little twists that might be different to the Bolognese you're used to making. Everything slowly cooks down into the most incredible sauce and honestly, it's one of the recipes she's most proud of. Make it when you have a slow afternoon at home and Emilie promises you'll be very happy come dinner time.

Afternoons film critic joins Jesse to review the following films - The End of Oak Street, The Ungrateful Tenant and Tony - in cinemas.
