  1. From Radionz today worth noting in Kathryn Ryan’s slot –
    Love this eclectic title – UK: Sunak v Truss, debate faint, escapee assaulted by emus

    Trying to understand this developing world, figure out where in the ‘progress’ of civilisation we are?
    What happened at different places, times and why, what now in Vienna, the city of dreams and nightmares?
    Mozart but – Rise of Hitler: Hitler is Homeless in Vienna – The History Place
    https://www.historyplace.com › worldwar2 › homeless
    Vienna was a city alive with music and full of diverse people who loved the arts and felt lucky to call the place home. In February 1908, Hitler moved there …
    Like non fiction? Thoughtful, informed and well said stuff. This sounded as if it would be good.

    This sounded good too and great title: How to Loiter in a Turf War.
    (I’ve noticed that the broadcasters are speaking faster. I heard this as How to Loiter in a Torpor. That was an interesting possible title too!)

  2. Interesting about North Korea. Like so any small nations they get downplayed and sent up by foreign media. They don’t like it – so take that!

    “In 2014, Sony Pictures decides it’s going to make this film The Interview, which is sort of slapstick movie, really about a couple of bumbling journalists who go to North Korea to interview Kim Jong Un, and get involved in a CIA assassination plot and the assassination plot does work out, Kim Jong Un does get assassinated in the film. It’s shown in quite graphic detail.
    “And it is, I think I’m right in saying, one of the only if not one of a very, very, very small number of films that shows a sitting world leader, a real-world leader, killed in a film. So, it’s quite striking.”
    North Korea did not take kindly to this at all, he says.
    “They wrote at one stage to the United Nations, saying that this was a terror being perpetrated against North Korea.”

    • There seems a lot going on in Auckland Tane. Good that someone is shining a torch if not a spotlight on those doings. But how can they be paused and the worst cases stopped? Obviously NZ has been recognised as easy-osy and if you’re as fast as Roger Douglas recommended, then you can get done a swingeing lot of profitable deals, of a questionable nature. But is anyone but you even questioning.
