    Kathryn Berkett: The 'Jessica' trend and why it works

    02/05/2026 | 35 mins.
    There's a new trend sweeping through social media - when your child is lost in a tantrum or a pre-teen spiral, you call out for your imaginary helper named Jessica, and more often than not it will confuse them enough to stop them in their tracks.
    Distraction methods like this one have been used for years and years, but why do they work?

    Campbell Dunoon: Is the worst house on the best street outdated?

    02/05/2026 | 41 mins.
    We've all heard the age-old advice you should buy the worst house on the best street - but is that still the case?
    The divide between what's considered a 'good' or 'bad' street seems to be less obvious than what it once was, and the cost of building or renovating has skyrocketed in recent years.
    It's just not as easy these days to throw a little bit of cash and a few weekends of hard work at a run down house to bring it up to the level of neighbours.

    Sharon Chandra: You can't DIY a divorce

    26/04/2026 | 41 mins.
    Divorce is still one of those taboo topics we tend to avoid, but up to 40% of marriages end that way here in New Zealand, so it's probably about time we become a bit more comfortable with it.
    It's not always a hostile end, some couples are even able to "DIY" their split in a sense - but is that really a good idea?

    Claire Turnbull: Why your GP won't give you nutrition advice

    26/04/2026 | 40 mins.
    We've been hearing for a while an increasing concern around a lack of information about healthy eating.
    You head to the doctor for a minor issue that's been bugging you for a while, and you're more likely to head home with a script for panadol and ibuprofen than a few print outs on maintaining a balanced diet.
