What does the Treaty of Waitangi actually require of our laws? Samuel Carpenter from Laidlaw College and Charm Skinner from the Salvation Army NZ join us to unpack the complexities of reviewing government legislation through the lens of the Treaty. We go beyond the "what" and "how" to explore the question many New Zealanders are still wrestling with: the fundamental "why" behind our Treaty obligations.

From Parachute to Chicago: Mumsdollar's Ben Claxton on NZ Christian Rock
Ben Claxton, frontman of iconic New Zealand Christian rock band Mumsdollar, joins Andrew and Becci to reflect on the band's legacy, playing the main stage at Parachute Festival, and the disastrous show at Cornerstone Music Festival in Chicago, where he lost his voice mid-set. He also opens up about balancing band life with full-time jobs, his favourite song to perform live, and what he'd say to his 25-year-old self.
Mumsdollar were one of NZ's most beloved Christian rock acts, known for their humility as much as their music.

Pentecost: When the Spirit's Flame Burned Bright
To mark Pentecost, Andrew Urquhart explores whether the Church still burns with the same zeal the Holy Spirit ignited nearly 2,000 years ago. Rev. Dr Stuart Lange takes us on a drive through church history, media chaplain Frank Ritchie unpacks what's really behind today's revivals and culture clashes, and theologian Christopher Holmes reflects on why hearing God's Word aloud matters.
