1:15 Supporting the 'stars' of The Restaurant That Makes Mistakes

You may have been watching a recently released TV show - a reality programme, which has recruited people living with dementia to open and run a restaurant.

Four of the eight volunteers on 'The Restaurant That Makes Mistakes' have early onset dementia, meaning they're under the age of 65.

Early onset dementia makes up 12 percent of all diagnoses, takes on average twice as long to detect, and poses a raft of unique challenges.

Dementia NZ Northern Region clinical lead Rhonda Preston-Jones was involved with recruiting and supporting the participants on the show. She talks to Jesse about what happens behind the scenes.

1:25 Building up to FIFA Women's World Cup down under

Just under a month from now the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup will kick off.

New Zealand is co-hosting the event  with Australia, which means that women's football will have more Kiwi eyes on it than ever before.

Someone who's particularly excited about this is Kimberley Kan.

She's a videographer and amateur football player, and last year she produced a docu-series about amateur women's football called 'The Journey North'.

Kimberley talks to Jesse about what we can expect from this huge tournament her down under.

2:25 NZ Sporting History

For this week's NZ Sporting history we're travelling not too far back in time - in fact to last year's Beijing Winter Olympics.

Held under strict Covid quarantine - two young skiers wrote themselves into the history books, ending a 70-year wait for kiwi Winter Olympics gold.

Zoi Sadowski Sinnott was one - the other was free-skier Nico Porteous - who skied and spun his way through the air to win the men's freeski halfpipe.

Nico Porteous joins Jesse for this week's Sporting History.

Ming was a dancer in Tina Turner's music video for What's Love Got to Do with It, where she captured Tina glancing away from the camera, in front of Brooklyn Bridge wearing a leather skirt, denim jacket and patent stilettos with huge spiky hair.  Ming speaks to Reena Stanton-Sharma.
