2:10  Historic Store - Sukhita Langford: If you've ever driven the road from Nelson to Collingwood.. chances are you've stopped for a cup of tea or a scone at the Langford store in Bainham.
The store has a nearly century old pedigree - and was originally a combination of general store.. post office and service station.
Sukhita Langford and her husband Will Hutchison took over the historic store six years ago and while they make a living from the shop.. the constant maintenance needed to keep the building in tip top shape is proving to be something of a headache. To that end.. Sukhita has started a crowd-funding campaign to help keep the Langford Store afloat.

2:20  Enzed Off Air - Andrew Strugnell: You want to market yourself, your company, and social media is where you want to do it. But ..there are so many online platforms these days, it might be difficult to know where to start.
Twenty four year old Andrew Strugnell wants to change that - he's set up his own youtube channel to showcase kiwi videomakers to the world.
Called Enzed Off Air - the dedicated kiwi channel highlights, every week, five or so kiwi individuals who are making interesting videos in a bid to gain overseas audiences and promote networking opportunities.

2:30  NZ Reading: The first of an eight part adaptation of, 'The Broken Book' published by Auckland University Press and adapted for radio by Carol Dee.  
Walking out of necessity and walking for pleasure. Fiona rediscovers the latter while on the Katherine Mansfield fellowship in Menton in the south of France.

3:45  Panel Pre-Show - Jim Mora and Zara Potts.
The advantage of learning another language, even if you're old. The people putting butter in  their coffee now. The era of upright seats in planes may have begun, and we'll tell you the reason why. The huge parachute in the sky, and why, off Hawaii today. Being ignored is worse than being bullied, the announcement of a very stable soccer ball for the World Cup, and new research about dairy and breast cancer.
