Denis Dyack is a legend in the industry and one of the few devs who has been exposed to both the Japanese and Western way of designing games. He is the man behind Legacy Of Kain and Eternal Darkness. I spoke with him in 2023 and he returns to promote his new game Deadhaus Sonata

EJ Barnes is the proud daughter of Australian rock legend Jimmy Barnes.
In this fascinating episode, she reflects on growing up in a family where music always came first - joining her first band with her siblings at just six years old.
And what was it really like having Jimmy Barnes as your dad during the wild years of the ’80s and ’90s?

The aura of Matu Ngaropo hits you straight away, which is why it’s easy to see how he’s one of those performers who can do it all - and do it all well.
Matu works across film, television, and theatre. He took on one of the biggest roles of his career when he landed the part of George Washington in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton, performing across Australia and New Zealand an astonishing 700 times.
We geek out over what it takes to do something like that - and look ahead to another major role he has coming up in New Zealand next year, in & Juliet.
A fabulous kōrero with a wonderfully talented human!

Award-winning journalist Lisette Reymer is Stuff’s senior correspondent and author of No, I Don’t Get Danger Money.
Lisette spent three years as Newshub’s Europe Correspondent - and it’s fair to say what she witnessed and covered during that time is almost hard to comprehend. Eight trips to Ukraine during the war, Donald Trump’s indictment, the October 7 attacks on Israel and the ensuing war in Gaza, the Queen’s death, the Tokyo Olympics - and that’s just the beginning.
A former Breakfast colleague of mine and a girl who grew up on a Waikato dairy farm, Lisette tells some incredible yarns!

Claire Turnbull is a nutritionist, best-selling author and professional well-being speaker.
What makes Claire so powerful is her lived experience. This isn’t some self-proclaimed “guru” pushing an agenda - Claire cuts through the shit and tells it like it is.
She cares because she’s been through it too: navigating disordered eating, dyslexia, depression, anxiety, postnatal psychosis, a brain injury, and now parenting a neurodiverse child.
Hearing Claire speak earlier this year was a game changer for me - and I hope this episode can be that for you too.

Almost everyone has an opinion on Paul Henry. Good or bad, people have certainly made up their minds about one of the country’s best-known broadcasters.
But should we pump the brakes on always thinking about his time on Breakfast? Is there more to Paul Henry than those controversial one-liners from way back when?
The new The Chase New Zealand host sits down to chat about all the other things that make up Paul Henry.
Your mind may or may not change about him - but give it a crack!

A short story based on the horror franchise Silent Hill. For advanced learners of English:
A long road
I walk a long road with trees of myst lining up the path on both sides. The mysty haze extends far ahead into solid emptiness of dismal grey light. This light is not luminous nor does it radiate warmth. It is within the air, its indispensable part. Thick heavy air absorbs the sounds of my footsteps. Silence reigns over this undisclosed realm and it plays an uncanny mute tune that leaves an everlasting shrieking silence in my ears. As I turn around I see the same yellow divide in the middle of the road stretching out of nowhere towards my feet. The road itself is covered with greyish film that looks like ash and as I walk I leave footprints behind me - the only indication that I am moving forward. There seems to be no end to the road, no turns, no promise of any change. Just a straight path like a flatline on a heart monitor. No heart beats, no turn-offs. I try to get off the road but the farther I go the darker it becomes and the harder it gets to breathe. Until it gets completely dark ... the next moment I am back on the road again, and somehow I know i have to move on ... -
