Green Light

"I always want to run toward the thing that feels challenging and scary and exciting, and that didn't feel like a drum and a vocal anymore. Because those types of songs had been number one on the charts for two years. It really felt like there'd been an excess of that type of music, which I am happy for as someone who's in the camp of minimalism, but also I was like – there has to be a different way to express how I'm feeling."

What does Sky's big win with Max mean?

This week Sky announced it had secured the rights to run Max as a channel within Neon, bringing one of the strongest and deepest TV catalogues to its streaming service, and taking a potential competitor off the map (for now, at least).

They also discuss Amazon launching its ad tier into NZ, and how that impacts TVNZ and Three.

Supercut

"I felt the way I used to feel when I made music as a kid and it felt like I could cry because it's such a relief to get out how you're feeling for the first time. I remember being like 'oh my god'. It was such gratitude for the process. I was like, 'my outlet!'" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Is Nicola Willis cutting costs or cutting growth?

Finance minister Nicola Willis is on a mission to crunch the size of government debt from well over 33% of GDP to under 30% within a few years, as well as fire up growth in an economy experiencing its worst-ever recession per capita. Doing one would be hard, but both at the same time seems a mission impossible for a politician wanting to win a second term. Bernard asks her how the government will both keep its promises and engineer even bigger spending cuts in per capita terms than those delivered by Ruth Richardson in the early 1990s.
