1:25 How museums give dignity back to human remains
Last weekend the Auckland War Memorial began the process of repatriating six First Nations ancestors back to Australia. That partly on the advice of its Māori cultural advisors.
This is a marked shift from the 19th century when it was common for museums and private collections to exchange remains. Museum Curator Mike Dickison - who has previously worked to have Māori remains repatriated talks to Jesse about how they navigate such a sensitive area.

1:45 Great album: Hole Erth by Toro y Moi
Toro y Moi is the musical project of American electronic artist Chaz Bear. Chaz emerged as a bit of a figurehead in the early 200s chillwave scene. Chillwave being a genre of music that is probably best described as dreamy retro pop based on early 80s music.
Since then his sound has evolved, genre- bending is the term usually applied in reviews of his work and this latest album under the Toro Y Moi banner is no different.
