From Culture 101, 12:10 pm on 13 July 2025

From a farm in Waikato to the frontlines of the Ukraine war, former Newshub Europe correspondent Lisette Reymer never expected to be using her hostile environments training when taking on the job.

20 hour-work days, hiring security, going back and forth from bomb shelters; she's since moved back to Auckland and has written a memoir, No I Don't Get Danger Money.

It details covering some of the most dangerous moments in recent history, defining moments in her life and the privilege of being able to walk away.

Lisette Reymer joins Culture 101 for Fast Favourites.
