With things winding down for Christmas, Kamahl shares an update on the legal action he's taking against TVNZ at the Employment Relations Authority. The new year is going to be busy (and expensive!) but in this podcast, you'll hear why he's going to such lengths to set the record straight.
Included in this podcast is a portion of an interview Kamahl gave to Duncan Garner on his podcast Editor-in-Chief. They discuss mental health and the effect that a story and situation like this has on a number of different people.
WARNING: the interview includes a frank discussion about suicide. If you are in need of help or just someone to talk to, please visit this link which includes numbers and websites for helplines.

This is an audio version of the latest VIDCAST from The Balance, looking at the Israel-Hamas war. This week, we look at the issues of justification, proportionality, and collective punishment - and how, very simply, two wrongs don't make a right. We also pay tribute to the family of Al Jazeera journalist Wael Dahdouh, whose family members were killed in an Israeli airstrike on Gaza.

This is an audio version of the latest VIDCAST from The Balance, looking at the Israel-Hamas war. In it we explore how terminology - particularly the word 'terrorist' - is being used politically, and the pressure being put on media to describe Hamas as 'terrorists'.

The story of an initially-unnamed BBC presenter - accused of paying a young person thousands of pounds for sexually explicit pictures - took on a life of its own this past week. It was equal parts shocking, unbalanced, engrossing, farcical, and unpleasant. And it raised a lot of questions about privacy, speculation, who knew what and when - and of course who the presenter actually was. This week on RE:Balance, Kamahl picks apart the facts of the story and the way it was reported, and speaks to Associate Professor of Sociology at Swansea University Dr. Ashley A. Frawley about the behaviour of all involved - from the accused to the accusers, the media, and the public on social media.
