Now usually at around 1:45 pm on a Wednesday we talk to Claire Concannon host of RNZ Podcast Our Changing World about what she's discovered in the world of science. This week Our Changing World is looking at another podcast called 77 Degrees South and rather than chat to Claire about that, we thought we'd go straight to the source. Journalist Maia Ingoe has written and produced 77 Degrees South. A podcast which follows a team of eight young people through their month-long journey to the Ross Sea, Antarctica and inside the historic huts of legendary explorers Captain Robert Falcon Scott and Sir Ernest Shackleton. 77 Degrees South was written and produced by journalist Maia Ingoe, recording, technical and music production by audio engineer Calum Turner, narrated by Jake Bailey.

He joins Jesse in the studio.

Men's sheds have become familiar community spaces around Aotearoa. These are places where men can learn practical skills, meet new people, and ultimately improve their wellbeing. But my next guest says women who want those same opportunities face a shortage of accessible spaces, tools, and funding. Nikki founded WomenzShed in 2022, and the organisation has now helped more than 500 women develop woodworking skills through workshops in Auckland and Wellington. She chats to Jesse.

The future look of Auckland housing is a step closer to becoming a reality after Auckland council voted in a plan to allow intensive housing around central transport hubs. The move is a response to a government requirement for the council to allow for more than 1.4 million homes to be built in in the city. It could see 15 storey apartment buildings being built along side heritage homes in central suburbs like Kingsland and Mt Eden ... some councillors argue it's a sensible plan, while others say it'll ruin the character of the city. Connor Sharp is with advocacy group Greater Auckland, he chats to Jesse about the issue.

For decades, Dr Shanna Swan has studied the relationship between environmental chemicals and human reproduction. Her research has helped drive a global conversation about declining fertility, reproductive health, and the potential effects of chemicals found in everyday products.

The Netflix documentary follows them from the supermarket to the bedroom to see if reducing their exposure to plastic might improve their chances of having a baby. The documentary is called The Plastic Detox. Jesse speaks to Dr Shanna Swan.

A new industry report has taken a look behind the counters at New Zealand's independent bookshops, and it's revealed the biggest threat to our booksellers isn't a lack of interest in reading - it's the supply chain to actually get the books. The report gathered data from 49 bookstores and the people who run them, with one saying international publishers who choose to publish Kiwi books are "self-sabotaging their own market by keeping their books offshore". Renee Rowland is the Association Manager for Booksellers Aotearoa New Zealand, and a bookshop owner in Geraldine. She chats to Jesse about the issue.

Many of the struggles we see in men don't begin in adulthood, they begin in boyhood. Developmental pediatrician Dr Billy Garvey knows that because he's lived that. Now he works with thousands of children and families, and he's the co-host of the Pop Culture Parenting podcast. He's become one of Australia's leading voices on child development, regularly speaking to packed audiences of parents looking for practical advice for their children, and especially boys who are growing up with dodgy social media influencers and confusing messages about masculinity. Dr Garvey shares his suggestions for small changes that can have lifelong impacts. His new book is available for pre-order and it's called Ten Things I Wish You Knew About Raising Boys.
