Eggcorn salad

Like three yolks crammed into an egg, the trio are back for the another week of unusual news and real life humiliations. What would your 60 second talent be? How cool is it to draw eyes on a piece of art? And do monkeys really need Marvin Gaye to 'get it on'? All that, and one pod member admits they've been involved in a long Irish con. Hosted on Acast.

The Fold: How will Covid-19 impact NZ's TV, radio and online news?

The Fold podcast returns for March into a media world transformed by the impact of Covid-19. Host Duncan Greive records a monopod to assess its impact. In last month's edition of this podcast, The Spinoff editor Toby Manhire and I discussed RNZ's Concert debacle. At the time, it was the biggest story in media; now it seems, like so many things, a quaint concern from a different time. The impact of Covid-19 has been so vast that there is no other news agenda – simply 'how the virus is impacting X'. Even Thursday's decision by the Christchurch mosque terrorist to change his plea to guilty had a notable Covid-19 dimension, as his victims were largely unable to face him in court – and thus what would have been the biggest story of any other month felt like it flashed by. Yet for all the global pandemic's power as an engulfing news story, it's the impact on the media business I discuss on March's The Fold. There's a huge paradox in its relationship to the media, in that all of us are seeing record ratings, which in normal times would lead to big revenue spikes – but because almost no client is advertising, the opposite is happening. Journalists are working harder than ever, serving bigger audiences than ever, but the bottom is falling out of the business in a completely unprecedented way. It's also making our work different: instead of being in our podcast studio in Morningside, I recorded it under a towel at home. And instead of a guest, I simply relayed my own thoughts. Literally everything has changed in our society now, and the media has had a supply, demand and operational shock up there with the best of them. Learn more about your ad choices.

In which we snack on creepy-crawlies to save the planet

Covering Climate Now: Dietary Requirements is The Spinoff’s monthly podcast in which we eat, drink and talk about it too, with special thanks to Freedom Farms. This month, we go crazy for crickets in a climate week special. The Spinoff’s participation in Covering Climate Now is made possible thanks to Spinoff Members. Join us here! September's Dietary Requirements is all about how what we eat and drink affects the world around us – yep, it's a climate crisis special. We're joined in the studio by Wairarapa cricket farmer John Hart and his partner in crime Chris Petersen of Rebel Bakehouse (both of whom are pictured in the work of art above) to talk the ins and outs of farming insects for food. As we snack on some buzzy buggy snacks, we don't shy away from hard-hitting questions like "do the crickets have personalities and do you give them names?", and discuss the place of farming in a climate-crisis world. As it's vegan week in The Spinoff office (well, for some of us), we share some plant-based cooking tips and restaurant recommendations while sampling Alice's rather tasty vegan cookies, and of course we drink some deliciously sustainable beer.

The Fold: Meet the man behind some of NZ's best reality TV

If you're a regular listener of The Real Pod you might know Duncan has another podcast, The Fold, where he gets in-depth and nerdy about the NZ media landscape. The latest episode is a bit of a Real Pod crossover, so we wanted to share it here so you don't miss out! It's a chat with Jon Wild, series producer and director of some of our favourite reality series of all time, including The Apprentice Aotearoa, The Bachelor and New Zealand's Next Top Model. He tells Duncan about making all these shows, the importance of casting, the way the New Zealand character feeds into our reality TV and more. If you enjoy this episode, hop over and give The Fold a follow wherever you're listening to this. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
