From Inner Critic to Inner Ally, Part 2: Learning to Meet Yourself With Love, Acceptance, and Forgiveness For many neurodivergent people, the inner critic can be loud, persistent, and convincing. In this episode, Stephen Harrison explores why that voice may have developed as a learned protector shaped by correction, masking, rejection sensitivity, and ableist expectations. Rather than going to war with the critic, Stephen invites a different approach: changing its role. Through self-love, self-acceptance, and self-forgiveness, he offers practical ways to speak to the critic differently, reshape self-talk, ask better questions, receive compliments, and practise meeting yourself with more care. This is a reflective and practical conversation about inner change, innate worth, trusted support, and learning to live from love rather than fear.

Waenga - interview with Rameka Tamaki The acclaimed play Waenga, is heading on a lower North Island tour including Te Raukura ki Kapiti Coastlands Theatre on 1 August and Catherine sits down with cast member and former Raumati Beach local Rameka Tamaki to talk about this powerful piece of work. A sharply prescient story of systemic violence, racism and hope, which resonates with people of all ages and backgrounds, Waenga delves into the challenges of rangatahi Māori trying to change the system, from the outside and the inside. Hariata and Tamati created Waenga so rangatahi could see their voices and their experiences on stage – and consulted with rangatahi during the making of the work. They thought it was more important than ever in an election year to put on this work and take it far and wide. Created by Hariata & Tamati Moriarty and directed by Jim Moriarty, Waenga centres on a young wahine Māori who is arrested and finds herself in a police holding cell. Alongside her journey is Peyton, who is coming to understand what a Tangata Tiriti partnership is and Grayson, a young Māori lawyer navigating his role in the system.

Winslow Distillery - From Saturn's Moons to Martinborough's Vines This journey takes us to the beautiful wine village of Martinborough, where Linz Taring is writing a new chapter at Winslow Distillery - a producer with roots stretching back to 1985 and a name once borrowed from one of Saturn's icy moons. Suzie chats with Linz about the move from Wellington to Martinborough, the decision to produce their own base spirit from scratch, and how a winemaking heritage shapes everything from fermentation to flavour. From their People's Choice Award-winning Astra Gin to the seasonal Navy strength Eclipse and the Christmas-in-a-bottle Tiger Lily liqueur, we explore what it means to build a truly distinctive New Zealand distillery - one that honours its legacy while keeping an eye on the future, including whisky barrels quietly ageing in the wings.
