Echoes of Dissent Ep 25 - Grey Hulls or MRIs? Echoes of Dissent Ep 25 - Grey Hulls or MRIs? New Zealand is about to spend up to $9 BILLION on two warships that can't patrol our own coastline, can't stop illegal fishing in our own waters, and — by the government's own experts' logic — couldn't actually defend us anyway. So why are we buying them? This week, Echoes of Dissent asks the question Wellington doesn't want to answer: Why Grey Hulls? Why not MRIs instead? Dame Lynda Topp opens with the funniest takedown of the defence budget you'll hear all year. Then Herbs, Shona Laing, Bob Dylan and Edwin Starr join the soundtrack. We take a hard look at choices between frigates and hospitals, and where every party stands before November 7. Listen before you vote. Traversing the centuries and musical genres to dive into one song that cries out ‘This is wrong!’ Listen

Where Home Lives Ep 2 - Love Across the Oceans - Czech Where Home Lives Ep 2 - Love Across the Oceans - Czech Odjet za láskou na druhý konec světa zní romanticky. Ale co se stane, když romantika narazí na běžný život? Když si vezmete člověka z jiné země, neberete si jen jeho - berete si s ním i jeho kulturu. V tomhle díle se podíváme na to, co všechno přinese společný život, když se ve vztahu daji dohromady dva lide z opacnych koutu sveta - od rodiny, komunikace a tradic až někdy překvapivě I k nábytku. A taky na to, co vztah opravdu drží pohromadě, co může ztratit ten, kdo se kvůli lásce přestěhuje do jiné země, a proč je někdy důležitější snazit se toho druheho pochopit než mít pravdu. Listen
