Nights

This weekend, some of the best players from NZ, Australia & beyond are gathering in for five days of competition at the Southern Hemisphere Pinball Championships.

Leanne Hiroti's new oral history project captures the stories and culture of Maniototo's shearing community during its heyday in the 1980s.

Focus is back on the infamous 2018 ball-tampering scandal, and who knew what about the use of sandpaper, in a test match between the Australian's and South Africa.

It was just after midnight on the 14th of November 2016, when a magnitude 7.8 earthquake shook the region for nearly two minutes. 

Catherine Warman is just 17 years old, and while she’s busy finishing her final year of high school, she’s also celebrating the publication of her very first book.

Nights' resident screen critic joins Emile Donovan to review: Yellow Letters (In Cinemas), Possible Love (Netflix), and Drive (TVNZ+). 

It's the return of friend of the show, writer and all-round thinker, who joins us to explore some of the best political novels of the 21st century.

John Battersby is a Senior Fellow at Massey University’s Centre for Defence and Security Studies, and he joins Emile to unpack the NVIDIA scandal and what it could mean for the tech industry. 

London, Paris and New York, all have one and our guest tonight thinks it’s about time we did as well. 

It's time for our fortnightly chat with Nights' resident sociolinguist, associate professor Julia de Bres.
