1:15 Saving the "Asian Unicorn"

It's one of the rarest large animals on earth, and one of the greatest biological discoveries of last century. The Soala was only been discovered in 1992.

William Robichaud is the saola conservation program coordinator for the Global Wildlife Conservation.

1:25 Pressure on govt to raise youth court age

Now that young people can stay in state care until they are 21, there's pressure mounting on the government to also raise the Youth Court age to 17. At present 17 year olds who commit crime automatically go before the adult court...

One of the many groups urging the government to change that is the Dingwall Trust, which helps young people who have been in state care, transition to independance. It's director is Tracie Shipton.

1:35 Celebrating Amateur Art

Artist and curator Amelia Harris has been collecting examples of amateur art from op shops over the past year... the date back as far as 1815 and are on display at the Depot ArtSpace in Auckland.

2:10 Theatre Critic: John Smythe

John Smythe has worked as an actor and writer for theatre, television and film on both sides of the Tasman and has served as a theatre critic for the Melbourne Times, The Australian, Theatre Australia Magazine and the National Business Review.   Who better then, to tell us what he thought of Dave Armstrong's latest play, "Central" now on at Wellington's Circa Theatre.

2:20 Geoffonomics: The gender divide

This year's American election is possibly the most divisive in history, but probably the biggest divide is a gender one.

Our economics commentator, Geoff Simmons happens to be in Washington DC, and joins us to talk about the growing economic role of women worldwide.

2:35 Why don't New Zealanders like Donald Trump? The Historical Context

Donald Trump is possibly the most talked about man in the world at the moment, including in NZ.  However, much of that talk is negative.  While there will be some New Zealanders who like Trump it's safe to say they will be a small minority. 

Historian Grant Morris of Victoria University takes an historical look at why this might be.

3:10 Masterpieces with Hera Lindsay Bird

Hera Lindsay Bird talks about her 2016 ascent to poetry rockstardom, the strange emails she gets, and why she loves the art of Yvonne Todd.
