1:15 Universities collaborating to save language courses
In the face of huge budget deficits, Victoria and Otago Universities are working together to save their language courses.
It's a potential solution for languages that were on track to be disestablished at the end of this year, and can now continue through a collaborative teaching model.
Professor Nic Smith is the Vice-Chancellor at Te Herenga Waka - Victoria University of Wellington, and he joins Jesse today.

1:25 A new way to engage with musicians
Under the Radar has teamed up with Yeehawtheboys cartoonist and musician Daniel Vernon to give music fans a totally new way to enagage with artists.
It's called 'Down Under & UnderTheRadar', and it's a comics-music-journalism series that illustrates various artists experiences, whether that experience is of a recent tour, creating a new song, or overcoming a personal challenge.
Four "episodes" have been released so far on the website featuring the likes of Beastwars, Fazerdaze, and Hans Pucket.
Hans Pucket singer and guitarist Oliver Devlin worked with Daniel on their comic, and he joins Jesse today.

2:25 NZ Sporting History: Joseph Romanos
Joseph Romanos is an award-winning sports journalist and commentor. He is also the author of numerous New Zealand sports books, on everyone from tennis player Chris Lewis to cricketer Martin Crowe.
In fact, we counted 50 titles that Joseph had either written, co-written, edited or collaborated on, which is a staggering achievement in itself.
Today, Josesph joins Jesse to reflect on a great moment in Kiwi sport, when Lance Cairns smashed six sixes at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in 1983.
