Six And A Song with Niva Retimanu

This week on The Highlight Reel, there's a bit of a theme around embarrassment. 

First —in an out of the mouths of babes scenario— one parent's weekend activities were revealed at Simon's grandson's first day of school. Then we learn about Simon's undies being on display at the airport, and finally how an innocent wink at a female co-worker went wrong.

Si and James got stuck into the thorny old issue of hospital parking and the fines incurred when you are already stressed.

The pair asked how long household appliances should last?

Wellington Mayor Tory Whanau’s ADHD diagnosis sparked a very interesting discussion about the increasing number of people being diagnosed with it later in life. 

Plus, just how relevant is Shakespeare in 2024?
