2:05pm Food with Jess Daniell

Jess Daniell runs Jess's Underground Kitchen and is our Friday foodie. She's been busy catering for weddings this summer as well as still offering her cooked meals from her store. She's got a recipe which is great if you're looking for something to do with stale bread rather than feeding it to the birds. She's going to explain to Karyn that her Tomato & summer fruit Panzanella isn't as strange as Karyn feels it is.

2:25pm Wine with Joelle Thomson

Joelle Thomson is in the Wellington studio to talk about summer wines to enjoy while the weather is still good.

She's got her top five wines she's going to share with Karyn and talk about.

2:40pm Parenting with Emma Woodward

Dr Emma Woodward is a child psychologist and says it's quite common for children to be anxious about returning to school after the long summer break. She says there are many reasons why anxiety about going back to the classroom can kick in for both teenagers and younger children. She speaks to Karyn about ways to deal with any anxiety that might arise and what parents can do as the end of the long summer break looms on the horizon.
