On this week's podcast:

We speak to Muriel Newman, from the NZ Centre for Political Research, on why New Zealanders need to make their voices heard.

We talk separatist government, the water debate (that shouldn’t even be happening), He Puapua (whatever that means), farming, and other damage the Arden government is inflicting on New Zealand.

And Patrick Basham, from the Democracy Institute, explains how the American midterm election results deserve a different perspective.

As requested, a list of climate books that tell a different story.

And, finally, we go to The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
