Kevin Milne: A discovery made late in life

Barbara Dreaver is no stranger to a challenge. 

She’s spent the past three decades shedding light on issues across the Pacific – getting locked up in Fiji, threatened in Papua New Guinea, faced natural disasters, and covered military coups and criminal activity. 

An international correspondent and veteran of New Zealand journalism, Dreaver’s faced death threats for her tenacious pursuit of the truth.  

Though she normally shines the light on others’ stories, Dreaver’s now decided to tell her own in a new memoir ‘Be Brave’. 

She told Jack Tame that focusing on her own story has been really uncomfortable, but kind of cool at the same. 

“I’m giving people a look behind the scenes at a time when, you know, media is not really trusted,” Dreaver explained. 

“But I really want people to know just the sort of work and the effort and stuff that goes on behind the scenes – also a little bit of personal stuff as well.”

Harry Styles has released his highly anticipated fourth album. 

‘Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally’ follows on from his 2022 album ‘Harry’s House,’ which won Album of the Year at the 65th Grammy Awards in 2023.  

It’s a notable departure from his previous works, with heavy use of synthesisers and electronic elements – inspired, Styles says, by the music and performances of LCD Soundsystem. 

Chris Schulz joined Jack Tame to share his thoughts on the album.

Witch Trail by Harriet Tyce  

Two teenage girls. One murdered classmate.

And a modern-day witch trial that will divide the nation. 
 
When 18-year-old Christian Shaw is found dead in an Edinburgh park, the city reels - and the shock only deepens when police charge her best friends, Eliza Lawson and Isobel Smyth, with her murder. 
 
As social media explodes and headlines scream for justice, rumours of bullying spiral into something whispers of rituals, obsession, and a teenage pact gone wrong. 
 
Matthew Phillips, a respected heart surgeon, is reluctantly called for jury duty on the case. But as the trial unfolds - and the girls reveal a chilling defence no one saw coming - he begins to question the motives, the evidence, even his own judgement. 
 
Who's telling the truth? Who can be trusted?

And what really happened to Christian Shaw? 
 
Let the Witch Trial begin . . . 

  

The Hard Line by Mark Greaney  

For a man who works in the shadows, a family is not just a luxury - it's a weakness. 

When an unknown enemy uses threats against Zack Hightower's estranged daughter to blackmail the injured operative into taking on a dangerous mission, his friend, Court Gentry, aka the Gray Man, volunteers to take Zack's place.  

But Court has problems of his own. He's already got an expert assassin on his trail for no apparent reason. And now his quest to protect Zack's family may drag his own family into the maelstrom. There's one lesson that Court has found undeniable: There's a reason superheroes have secret identities.
