This weekend sees the start of the ACC Paralympics New Zealand Open Day Series. Starting in Wellington with dates in New Plymouth, Auckland, Tauranga, and Dunedin over the next couple of months, the open days give disabled people the chance to find out about Para sport opportunities in their area. We get the whole story from gold medal winning Paralympian swimmer Mary Fisher.

This week Country Life is looking at Environment Southland's Water and Land 2020 & Beyond project which aims to maintain and improve the region's freshwater. Over the past 4 months 600 farmers have been voicing their concerns about the proposed outcomes of the project at public hearings in Invercargill and Gore. Cosmo catches up with some of them.
Also Mela Juice is a family-owned juice company based in a packhouse 3km from Greytown. Apples are trucked in from Hawkes Bay and are bottled according to their variety.

For the latest series of The Mixtape, RNZ Music invites guests to compile a C60 of local sounds, and talk us through their selections.
Musician Tama Waipara is the Senior Programme Manager of the Auckland Arts festival, a job he says is 'addictive'. It's the reason he hasn't released an album of his own since 2013's 'Fill Up The Silence'.
He joins RNZ Music's Kirsten Johnstone to presents a selection of musical highlights for the March 2018 festival.
