The big question from today’s show was: do you know your neighbour? Spanky spoke with neighbour relations expert Jolyon White about what we can do as humans to bridge that very small gap between properties and social awkwardness, saving the Christchurch City Council 1000’s of unnecessary complaints. Have a listen to the podcast and check out the video too, it just shows how great a party can be when you approach your neighbours, involve them or at the very least let them know what’s up. I guess it’s a respect thing too, but there’s increased security for your fam and house and who doesn’t like meeting new people?

Our USA correspondent Shaun McGirr joined us this morning to talk about that snow they’re having, apparently when it snows in America it’s more interesting than when it does anywhere else in the world. Also covered the future of Obama in office and the Republicans taking over that seat in Massachusetts. Check it out.

Top chef Jonny Schwass spoke to us this morning about killing animals for food. We’re all so used to buying meat prepackaged in those little black styrofoam containers with the cling wrap on top, we all know where the meat comes from right? Its comes from farms that grow these little black packages. If you had to kill a pig, could you? Well it’s not your job is it. In that case, could you watch an animal being slaughtered then eat the meat? I’m not saying you have to do that either, but we need to give thought to the process. This stuff just doesn’t magically appear, it’s flesh that was once muscle on a living, breathing beast. All I’m saying is please don’t eat yourself.
