On the Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin Full Show Podcast for Sunday 13 July 2025, journalist and true crime author Steve Braunias joins Francesca to discuss how the Polkinghorne trial brought him back to the genre and why he's fond of Phillip Polkinghorne.

Teacher turned soldier Owain Mulligan speaks on how his weekend hobby in the territorial army ended with him leading a troop in Iraq.

An open letter to the Prime Minister is calling for reform of the energy sector, two of the organisations behind it talk about why they've taken this action, and Francesca questions whether Wellington deserves better following a bumbling interview from Mayoral candidate Ray Chung.

And Tasman farms have been devastated by recent weather events, Federated Farmers provincial president and Tapawera farmer Kerry Irvine shares the reality of the situation.
