At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all.
Attention seekers: 1/10
What a dreadful week as we gave far too much energy to narcissists who masquerade as people with causes, both at sea and on land.
Noeline: 2/10
Still nothing. How badly handled can a badly handled scandal be handled?
Winston Peters: 7/10
In between cleaning up the glass on his dog, his Pacific reset speech was a reminder of what a considered and sensible Foreign Minister he is.
Chlöe Swarbrick: 1/10
The party under her leadership really has become farcical. If Palestine was a national park, it might make sense.
Chris Hipkins: 3/10
Telling us how appalling it was that Winston's house got smashed but then didn’t vote for the new protest law. H.Y.P.O.C.R.I.T.E.

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
