Speak Up Kōrerotia - Sportswashing
The Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games are being labelled the 'most equitable' and the 'greenest' Games in history. However, as occurs at all major sporting events, human rights violations are taking place too, including France's controversial ban on women athletes wearing the hijab and the unprecedented use of surveillance technologies. Guests Holly Thorpe (Waikato University), Frankie Barclay (Amnesty International) and David Rutherford (Tūhana Business and Human Rights) talk us through the concept of sportswashing - the use of sport by corporations and governments to distract from social or environmental rights violations - and emphasise the responsibilities of athletes, sports bodies, fans and the media to raise our voices to call out sportswashing.

Speak Up Kōrerotia - Raising children as upstanders
In May every year, kura and workplaces across Aotearoa celebrate Pink Shirt Day. It's a chance to visibly demonstrate our intolerance of bullying, and our commitment to diversity and being an upstander. With research showing that victims of bullying often find the inactions of bystanders more hurtful than the actual bullying behaviour, Mark Wilson (Pink Shirt Day), Mace Malcolm (InsideOUT) and Meg Craig (Elephant Trust) discuss what being an upstander means in the context of playground bullying: basically, taking action to support the victim. Their core message is that 'little things' can make a huge difference, and that acts of kindness and awhi can take place after the bullying act, not only in the moment.

Speak Up Kōrerotia - Human rights in Palestine
What was the human rights situation like in Palestine before 7 October 2023, when conflict broke out? And what is the situation like now, more than six months on?
Maha Elmadani and Yasser Abdul-Aal, two Palestinians living in Christchurch, and Tim Williams, a Christchurch local who lived for many years in Palestine, help us understand some of the deeply complex political, economic, social and cultural issues of the region. This show is a must-listen for anyone wanting to learn more about the humanitarian crisis currently unfolding. -
Speak Up Kōrerotia - Poetry for identity and human rights
World Poetry Day (20 March) celebrates the power of this genre to challenge injustice and inspire positive change. We talk with published poets Emma Sidnam and Ciaran Fox about the ways they use poetry to both reiterate their own identities and broach broader social and political themes.

Speak Up Kōrerotia - Arguments for lowering the voting age
In January 2024, the recently appointed National/Act/NZ First government declared it would halt proceedings, started under Labour, to lower the voting age from 18 to 16. This declaration was made the same week as the release of the Independent Electoral Review, which included a recommendation to lower the voting age, and came only months after the Supreme Court ruled that the current voting age of 18 breached the Bill of Rights Act in terms of age discrimination.
So what now? On this show, guests Daborah Hart (Independent Electoral Review Chair), Sage Garrett (youth advocacy group Make it 16), Bronwyn Wood (Te Herenga Waka) and Darcy Lawrey (interested young person) share their views on why the voting age should change, and how the government's announcement may impact this goal.
