  <title>What the doctor ordered: Jo Prendergast's 'Ghastly' alter ego</title>
  <description>
    <![CDATA[By day she's a Christchurch-based psychiatrist. But by night, she can be found on the comedy circuit. Dr Joanna Prendergast was a late-comer to comedy, taking it up at the age of 48 and performing under her stage name of "Jo Ghastly". It's acted as a foil to the seriousness of working in the field of mental health. While she avoids jokes about mental wellbeing, her experience as mum to two teenagers has given her plenty of fodder for the show she's been touring called 'The Cool Mum'. It's just been confirmed for the New Zealand Fringe Festival, which will be held in Wellington in March.

  <title>Financial watchdog issues scathing report on NZX</title>
  <description>
    <![CDATA[The government financial regulator has strongly criticised the stock exchange for being ill prepared and slow to react to last year's cyber attacks. Trading on the NZX was halted for four days last August after heavy cyber attacks disrupted its website. A review by the Financial Market Authority says the NZX didn't have adequate technology, systems or trained staff to cope with the denial of service attacks which overwhelmed the NZX site. It says the NZX didn't meet its obligations to ensure a properly functioning market. Kathryn speaks with FMA Chief Executive Rob Everett.

  <title>Should patents apply to Covid vaccines?</title>
  <description>
    <![CDATA[There's concern in Europe over delays to Covid-19 vaccines, after manufacturers Pfizer-BioNTech and AstraZeneca both warned of production delays. That's led to legal threats by Italy and Poland and demands by the European Union for the companies to deliver on the billions invested in vaccine development. New Zealand is expected to approve the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine next week, and the Director-General of Health says he doesn't expect any delivery delays because of what's happening in Europe. However a a professor in the economics of disasters, Victoria University's Ilan Noy, says countries should be pushing for the patents to be lifted on vaccines to help increase production. He joins Kathryn to talk about how nations need to stop acting in their own interest.

  <title>Ethique's Brianne West and her bold plastic-free goals</title>
  <description>
    <![CDATA[Brianne West started her plastic-free beauty bar business, Ethique, in her kitchen in Christchurch eight years ago while studying chemistry at university.

Ethique's range of solid shampoo, conditioner, soap and other beauty bars now sell in over 2500 retailers in 16 countries, and she estimates the company has saved over nine million plastic bottles entering landfills here and abroad. This year a group of international investors came on board - putting the company on a firm financial footing, and the focus on some bold future goals.
