1:15 Is "free range" a myth?
An investigation has revealed that millions of eggs were sold as free-range, but were actually laid by caged hens. The Newroom.co.nz investigation reports that eggs packaged as Palace Poultry, and sold at Countdown before this year, were actually caged eggs in free range cartons.
Countdown Supermarket has this morning removed all Palace Poultry products from its shelves. And the supermarket chain says it's in discussion with the Ministry for Primary Industries.
But free-range pioneer, Rob Darby, says he's not surprised. And he says he thinks about 90 per cent of free range chickens 'don't see the light of day'. Rob Darby runs boutique free-range farmers Frenz and he's been farming free-range since the 1980's.

It's the first time anyone in this position has had their appointment extended. Dr Bollard talks to Jesse about his other talent, painting with water colours.

3:10 The North Pond Hermit
On a clear April day in 1986, Christopher Knight drove 302 kilometers from his home to a forest in Maine on America's East coast, walked in and stayed there for 27 years. He had no tent, no sleeping bag and no plan.
He survived stealing food from holiday cabins in the remote area, and stories about the Hermit of North Pond became legend. He was finally caught and reluctantly returned to civilization. He has only talk to one journalist about his story.
Mike Finkel, whose new book is called A Stranger in the Woods: The Extraordinary Story of the Last True Hermit.
