At The Drive Thru At The Drive Thru

Hi,
The Green Party faces fresh scandal and the polling boost to boot. The Atlas Network apparently controls NZ elections. Taylor Swift has a new record out. Drake vs Kendrick. The campus protests and Macklemore. And dating advice.

Hi,
Long weekend; long episode.
The rolling atrocity and spiritual debt of the Gaza genocide. Chocolate eggs made it through the Red Sea after all. Sydney Sweeney as the mysterious lightning rod of all discourse. And the government embarks on brutal mathematics to enact the methods they were elected on, even though the purposes may have slipped out of reach.

Hi!
Prime Minister Chris Luxon gets in hot water by smashing the Free Money button in his office, and has since promised not to do it again. Charging the country to rent his own apartment off himself is prima facie obscene, but could just be the least corrupting things about having multi-millionaire landlord rule makers.
Meanwhile the sexy working class are putting in strenuous, trans-tasman scuba diving shifts at the cocaine retrieval factory in order to get their daily bread. And the imminent demise of Newshub looks set to change the New Zealand news media landscape forevs.
There's some movies out, some music out, and something in Glasgow that is as yet uncategorisable...

Hello there,
Recording Waitangi Day Eve 2024. Ardern is married, Invercargil sex toy thief identified, Wānaka burger options in the balance. Dave goes to the Foo Fighters, people pick on the public service, and the fallout from Golriz Ghahraman's shoplifting allegations.

Hello,
Chaos as hip hop and municipal sanitation issues collide in Lower Hutt. The grand tradition of New Years Eve munted rambling collides with the Prime Minister. Dumbass racists collide with the official status of languages. We both collide with Saltburn. One year collides with another, cheer and goodwill collide with all.

Hi,
The National-ACT-NZ First coalition agreement(s?) are signed and New Zealand has a government. These foundational documents may promise things the parties have no intention of providing, contain contradictory wording, not add up, but what's new. 
We went and saw Napoleon in the theatres. To some it's a drama, to others a comedy, and to horses a horror.
And a ceasefire-of-sorts in Gaza in even parts celebrated and lamented.
Technical note, there's a weird thing going on with the RSS update frequency if using https://atthedrivethru.co.nz/rss. https://feeds.libsyn.com/69850/rss instead pulls episodes as soon as they're available.
