8:10 Element of The Week

This week's element is Silver and according to Matthew Cowan, Lecturer and Rutherford Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Canterbury, it shouldn't be in second place.

And because we’re not the only chemistry fans AND working on the principle that you can’t get too much of a good thing, you might like to check out RNZ’s other periodic table offering … a new podcast series called Elemental.

Elemental is hosted by science producer Alison Ballance and features Alison and chemistry professor Allan Blackman from AUT journeying alphabetically through the periodic table.

RNZ Pacific's daily current affairs programme covering the major Pacific stories of the week, with background and reaction from the people making the news.

For this performance we join indie folk multi-instrumentalists The Broken Heartbreakers in two studio sessions for RNZ's Music 101.

9:07 Country Life 

Country Life has an Archaeologist who digs hardy animals, plus Dr Gosia Zobel on the mood of goats, and the resilient orcharding couple who had to take a chainsaw to their newly planted orchard! That was after PSA hit combined with the massive clean-up job after Cyclone Cook. They say growing is such a fickle business that they expect to have no income for one year in every seven.
