1:20 Cadbury to close Dunedin factory

Cadbury used to be this country's most trusted brand. But things began to change when it admitted changing its recipe to use palm oil rather than cocoa butter. A clever marketing campaign by its local rival, Whittakers, saw that company dramatically increase its market share. Now the owner of Cadbury, Mondelēz International, says it is closing its Dunedin factory and move production to Australia. The factory has produced Cadbury products at the site for 80 years. Auckland University of Technology marketing professor, Roger Marshall talks about how it has come to this.

1.25 Inside Gloriavale

In 2015, photographer Cam McLaren, got an inside look into the closed religious community of Gloriavale. And he describes it as 'A place where people are the currency and the outside world fades out of mind'. During his stay, he captured a series of black and white images, of an otherwise inaccessible world. And they'll be on show from today at Black Asterisk Gallery in Auckland.

1.35 Untranslatable Emotions

Dr Tim Lomas is trying to drive the English language into new, uncharted territory. He's creating an index of words, that have no direct English equivalent, that represent emotional experiences. And he hopes we can understand ourselves better, and live a richer life, if we started using these words as English speakers. It's called The positive lexicography project. Tim is lecturer in positive psychology, at the University of East London.

3:30 This Way Up: The Ballpoint Pen

Billions of ballpoint pens are sold worldwide each year - 15 million biros every day. They're given away by hotels, airlines, banks and at conferences  - they're so darn ubiquitous that you probably don't notice them until they stop working. 

China makes 80 percent of the world's pens, but as Bloomberg's Adam Minter told Simon Morton of This Way Up, the challenges of building a reliable Chinese ballpoint pen has made it a matter of national pride.
