1:35 Dunedin vet giving away surplus veg
A Dunedin vet has filled her backyard with planter boxes and is putting surplus produce in a stall outside her gate for others to take home.
Dr Helen Beattie posted in her local community page asking if people would be interested in veggies from her garden and, based on the overwhelming response, has planted excess.
As well as being a vet, Helen runs a charity called Veterinarians for Animal Welfare Aotearoa and earlier this year teamed up with advocates to deliver a petition calling for a National Food Strategy.

3:10 The growing tradwife trend
They’re called tradwives, women who choose to stay home, focus on their families and housekeeping, and agree to be subservient to their husbands.
They’re part of an influential online community who say they reject feminism and embrace femininity instead.
Fascinated by these women, Sophia Sykes decided to leave her budding marketing career to write a thesis about tradwives at Massey University. It’s finally done and it reveals a world of Instagram influencing that sometimes pushes right-wing ideology.
Today Jesse talks to Sophia Sykes and her thesis supervisor Dr Veronica Hopner.
