    Feature Interview: Why Positivity Pays Off

    Optimism can feel like a radical act these days. For Kevin Kelly, a positive outlook is not optional. The co-founder and senior maverick at tech magazine Wired has long argued that our capacity to fix our problems is greater than we imagine. He makes the case for evidence-based optimism, not wishful thinking, but informed possibility, in a new podcast called Best Case Scenario. Kelly teams up with best selling psychology and behavior author Daniel Pink to ask experts to give their best possible good news scenario in the next 25 years on the topics like transportation, energy and human health.

    From the Bush to the Table: The Game2Give Movement

    There's a movement happening in the hunting community that sees surplus wild venison turned into meals for families who need some help. The West Coast initiative is called Game 2 Give, and it was launched last year by the Hokitika-based food bank Kai Puku. It's fair to say that since then it's really caught on - several local organisations have jumped on board to help out, and now even the Department of Conservation. Kai Puku lead co-ordinator Christine Barton joins Jesse.

    Should you charge your adult children rent?

    Nowadays it seems it's far more common for young people to stay at home long past the age of 18. This could be due to the cost of living, the cost of tuition, or lack of job opportunities. But then the question becomes how long is too long, and is it fair to charge them rent? Sheridan Eketone is a coach at The Parenting Place and she joins Jesse to chat through the do's and don'ts.

    What does "Free Speech" actually mean to you?

    New Zealand Parliament announced late last week that it will no longer post updates on the social media platform X - formerly known as Twitter. The move comes amid growing international backlash against the Elon Musk owned platform, after thousands of sexualised deepfake images mainly of women and children, were generated using the social media site's AI chatbot 'Grok' Foreign Minister Winston Peters has since criticised the decision, writing on X that "This is how freedoms are lost - by unilateral decision-making being made by moral virtue signalling - where someone seeks to do one thing but causes damage to other freedoms." So is he right? To discuss the issue, Free Speech Union Chief Executive Jillaine Heather joins Jesse now.
