I've been listening to a good #RNZ #podcast, The Lodge. It's about a wellness #cult and the members and the victims. It's presented by an investigative journalist, Phil Vine.

https://www.rnz.co.nz/podcast/the-lodge#RSS is here but I found it in my podcast player of choice's catalogue.

Worth listening to if that's your sort of thing. I think it's still ongoing (I'm a couple of episodes behind)

Now that we're awake anyway, check out the awesome work of Heal the Hauraki.

This episode is about the amazing people doing the mahi to restore ecosystems in Tīkapa Moana Hauraki Gulf Marine Park.

AKA some of the witches with green liquid that Shane Jones is so scared of.
I think it is quite positive, inspiring and uplifting.

Great things can happen when nature is respected and given the time and space to recover.

Good example to follow elsewhere!

In about a week I'll be talking about #Meshtastic (a popular decentralised off-grid mesh-networking protocol) in the context of communications fallback during and after disasters. If you are in the quake-prone Pōneke/Wellington or Hutt Valley region, this is especially for you!

It should be noted that when #TomLehrer came to #Aotearoa, he wrote a song critical of the All Blacksʼ tour of apartheid South Africa and PM Walter Nashʼs support of it. Definitely on the right side of history.
