RNZ NATIONAL. SATURDAY MORNING 02/09/2017

A magazine programme hosted by Kim Hill, with long-form, in-depth feature interviews on current affairs, science, modern life, history, the arts and more.

On Saturday Morning: Kim talks to Emeritus Professor of Public Policy, Ian Shirley, about a long career that includes earning the wrath of Robert Muldoon - and successive bureaucrats through decades of political change; Dr Stuart Henrys and Dr Chris Hollis from GNS on a new and pioneering scientific ocean adventure aimed at plotting the world's eighth continent; Rob Wilkins, who was Sir Terry Pratchett's friend, business manager and now executor, explains why the late author's hard drive had to be steamrolled;  Rebecca Rudolph, one half of hot new LA design consultancy Design, Bitches, on the ways in which she aims to expand the definition of architecture at NZ's inaugural Festival of Architecture this year; toy designer Jon Carroll on his great job transforming film characters to robotic toys - and where toys are heading for children of the future; journalist-turned-soap writer Nick Malmholt; and Mary Kisler ends the show with a description of her time in Florence scoping out works for the Auckland Art Gallery's new exhibition, The Corsini Collection.
