    Barry Soper: Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent on being recognised in the 2026 King's Birthday Honours

    One of Newstalk ZB's most familiar voices has been recognised in the King's Birthday Honours, two decades after first being sounded out. Barry Soper's been named an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to journalism, recognising 43 years in the parliamentary press gallery. He says he considered the honour 20 years ago while serving as political editor, on the advice of senior colleagues. "And asked their opinion on whether it would be seen, or I could be seen as politically biased - and I think the conclusion was: that was a possibility. So I didn't want to compromise my independence."  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Chris Bullen: Auckland University Public Health Professor on the increase in people wanting to quit vaping

    More people are wanting to give up vaping, for a variety of reasons.  Almost 16,000 people reached out to Quitline last year, with a quarter enrolled in the Quit Vaping programme.  Māori make up 23 percent of those seeking support. Auckland University Public Health Professor Chris Bullen says vaping is less harmful than smoking, but also has negative impacts. He explained people are considering costs, potential long-term health effects and if they want to be addicted to something.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Paul Spain: Gorilla Technology futurist on the Government looking to allow the Ministry of Social Development to use AI

    Caution's being urged as automated decision-making moves a step closer to use in welfare services. A bill aimed at improving efficiencies passed its third reading under urgency in Parliament on Friday.  Social Development Minister Louise Upston says it will modernise the system and reduce unnecessary manual processing, but won't use generative AI. Gorilla Technology's Paul Spain says it will do exactly what it's asked. "This really comes down to the human oversight, how well this is put together, and that it's monitored appropriately."  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Wayne Mapp: former Defence Minister on US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth accusing New Zealand of freeloading

    A former Defence Minister says our geographical separation should negate the need to up our defence spending. US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's accused New Zealand of freeloading off the US military by spending 2 percent of GDP on defence.  He's revealed expectations that US allies spend 3.5 percent of GDP, at a global security summit in Singapore.  But Wayne Mapp says the Pacific isn't facing threats of invasion, the same way NATO countries are.   "Everything that comes to New Zealand costs more. Every place we go to costs more, but there is one advantage we get out of it, and that's security."  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Richard Arnold: US correspondent on the number of artists dropping out of the 'Freedom 250' concert series

    A star-studded musical celebration is in the works for the United States' 250th birthday, but more big acts have been backing away. Trump's administration had publicised multiple headliners for a 'Freedom 250' concert series between 25 June and 10 July, but Bret Michaels, Martina McBride, Young MC and the Commodores all confirmed they were pulling out. This leaves Vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli, and Flo Rida in the lineup, but Trump is reportedly considering cancelling the musical performances altogether.  US correspondent Richard Arnold says Trump is considering hosting a 'Make America Great Again rally' instead.
