But his wife, Pam, has kindly agreed to join us.

1:25 Hillary Clinton/Young Lover - Arthur Meek

Our next guest is on a quest to become Hillary Clinton's 'young lover'. And he's devised a plan to attract the attention and love of the US Democrat. Well, that's what his theatre production aims to do. Hillary Clinton/Young Lover is by the playwright and performer Arthur Meek and writer and director Geoff Pinfield. And it opens at Wellington's Circa Theatre this week. Arthur Meek is New Zealand actor and playwright. He won the Bruce Mason Award for Playwrighting in 2012 and was the third recipient of the Harriet Friedlander New York Residency.

1:36 Sound Archives - Sarah Johnston

This week marks sixty-five-years since New Zealand was gripped by an unfolding tragedy on the sea off the east coast of the country. The 1951 Canterbury Centennial Yacht Race had started on January 23rd, with 20 yachts racing from Wellington to Lyttelton, to celebrate the Canterbury Centenary. The race was hit by a southerly storm, and ten men were eventually declared lost at sea in what is still our greatest yachting disaster. Two recordings in the sound archives of Nga Taonga Sound & Vision tell the story and Sarah Johnston is here to tell us about them today.
