It is one of the most important debates going at the moment – should we invest in fossil fuel exploration, or search for more renewable energy sources? Sophie Barclay investigates.
This week, we launch a new series: The Peer Review. Jackson Wood will speak to 10 young scientists about their work, what they love about science, and how they got into it. First up, 22-year-old geneticist Sophia Frentz.
Fresh from graduation, Sherilee Kahui pops in to talk theatre, including a Wellington production of Don Juan, which opened its doors on the rehearsal process.
Schooled in the East London rave scene, Charli XCX went on to trouble the UK and US pop charts with her heady mix of sugar-coated pop and Ramones-referencing rock’n’roll. In town for a one-off show at Auckland’s Powerstation, she talks to Emma Smith.
On the Dial was produced by Megan Whelan, with technical production by Marc Chesterman and assistance from NZ on Air. Our music was composed and performed by Eddie Johnston, and the cover image was made by Hadley Donaldson.
