1:15 Measles outbreak: how to protect yourself 

The measles outbreak continues in Canterbury, with the number of confirmed cases now 22. 

There are concerns many people aged between 29 and 50 in New Zealand have not been fully immunised against measles. 

To answer these questions we're joined by Nikki Turner, Director of the Immunisation Advisory Centre and Associate Professor in the Division of General Practice and Primary Health Care at the University of Auckland.

Poetry New Zealand Yearbook's 2019 edition is out now, focusing on Hamilton poet Stephanie Christie, and containing more than 120 poems.

Dr Jack Ross, senior lecturer at Massey University and managing editor of Poetry New Zealand, joins us now to give us a taste of what's in the yearbook.

This weekend Jesse was in Canterbury and helped out a fundraiser for the local Rural Support Trust.

3:10 How the tech industry changed our work culture

If you're working insane hours, stressed and exhausted, thank the tech industry. It changed work culture says Dan Lyons, tech journalist and former staff writer for Silicon Valley, the show that parodies the famous California real estate.

Open office plans, silly team bonding games and the never ending quest for innovation have ruined the workplace for everyone.  Dan Lyons makes a plea for companies to ditch the high paid management consultants and see how profit and happy workers can coexist. His new book is called Lab Rats: How Silicon Valley Made Work Miserable for the Rest of Us.
