  Weight-Loss Drugs, a Murder Appeal & a Stadium Makeover

  Aug 18, 20261 min

  We’re diving into some of the stories making headlines today, starting with a pretty alarming one out of Dunedin, where teenagers are reportedly injecting black-market weight-loss drugs. We also head across the Tasman, where convicted mushroom murderer Erin Patterson is appealing her triple-murder conviction. Closer to home, we look at secure storage for businesses wanting to keep important files and records safe, plus a major summer makeover for Christchurch’s Wolfbrook Arena, including a revamped concourse and new food options. That one brings back a few memories too, as we talk about the sporting events, big nights and moments that make venues like these more than just a building. A mix of serious news, local stories, memories and a few thoughts along the way. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  Flu Pressure, Weight-Loss Drugs & a Magic Trick Gone Wrong

  Aug 17, 20261 min

  This morning, Jack runs through some of the big stories making headlines around Wānaka and across New Zealand. We take a look at Alpine Meadows, a new Wānaka community proving popular with local families, and the latest pressure facing the country’s health system as COVID-era measures return amid a surge in influenza cases. There’s also been a big jump in the use of weight-loss drugs across New Zealand, but those using them warn they’re no “magic fix”. And in Dunedin, one magic trick definitely didn’t go to plan, with a man setting his mum’s house on fire while performing tricks with matches. All that and more from the Radio Wānaka Breakfast Show.
