1:15 How drugs can affect parenting instincts 

The Ohio Police released the pictures above to raise awareness of the impact of drug addiction. It shows two drug addicted parents slumped unconscious in their car, with their frightened looking four year old son in the back.

Both parents were charged with a number of offences including endangering children.

So what is it about drugs that cause can parents to put their children's lives at risk like this?  A new study may shed some light on just what happens in the brains of drug addicts, and how this impacts on their parenting instincts.

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania scanned the brains of 47 people before and after they underwent treatment for opioid dependence, showing them images of cute babies designed to provoke an instinctual response.

And they found that the brains of people addicted to opioids didn't produce strong responses to the cute baby pictures compared with non addicts.

One of the researchers, Dr Daniel Langleben, conducted the study.

1:25 Be a Tidy Kiwi Relaunch

The Be a Tidy Kiwi campaign started in the 70's, but has been revitalised thanks to input from more than 16 thousand primary school students.

Richard Leckinger from The Auckland Litter Prevention Steering Group unveils the new logo.

1:35 Sound Archives: Kiwi Teen Rebellion

Back in August we talked to Grant Morris about the history of teenagers in New Zealand and we touched on 'The Mazengarb Report' on juvenile delinquency in Lower Hutt, published in 1954.

That inspired Sarah Johnston from Nga Taonga Sound & Vision to have a look into the sound archives to see how radio had dealt with the ‘teenage question’ in the past.

He's quite a fan of Fantasy - and says his keenness on the game Final Fantasy series contributed to the break up of two of his relationships.

3:10 James Geary: The Secret Lives of Metaphor 

They are two peas in a pod, this is a recipe for disaster! Every six minutes, we use a metaphor. We use them without knowing it, and they are a key to how we think says James Geary. He is the former Europe editor of Time and deputy curator of the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard.

James Geary reveals how metaphors have the power to change our thinking in the hands of politicians and advertisers. He shares his insights on metaphor and aphorism in his book,  I is an Other: The Secret Life of Metaphor and How It Shapes the Way We See the World.
