On the Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin Full Show Podcast for Sunday 30 August, Jonah Lomu was a giant of the rugby world and a global superstar. A new documentary coming to cinemas this week sheds light on the life of Jonah behind the scenes. Director Vea Mafile'o joins Francesca in studio to share what she learned about Jonah Lomu from her time working on the film.
A quote from her website best sums up the life of Irish born Kiwi, Nic Russell; “life didn’t just throw the book at Nic Russell – it dropped the whole library”. Nic joins Francesca to talk about her life and how she's kept going through the hard times.
Francesca calls on politicians to have an honest conversation about tax, while General Practioners New Zealand has released a 100 year blue print to fix the health system. Interim Chair Justin Butcher talks to Francesca about the need for cross party support for a united health service.
And a warning this week around using the airport Wi-Fi, Megan Singleton has all the details.
