In the South, food and music go hand in hand. They define much of what we think of as Southern culture, and they say a lot about our past, our present, and our future. Each week, Sid Evans, Editor in Chief of Southern Living, sits down with musicians, chefs, and other Southern icons to hear the stories of how they grew up, what inspires them, and why they feel connected to the region. Through honest conversations, Sid explores childhood memories, the family meals they still think about, and the intersection of food and music in their lives. Always surprising, always engaging, Biscuits & Jam is a celebration of the South—and the people who are moving it forward every day. New episodes every Tuesday.

A new app connecting businesses and truckies is looking to fill labour shortage across the ditch following a successful launch in New Zealand.

Road Ninja has been dubbed 'the love child of Tinder and Uber' - as it matches up companies looking for hireable help with skilled drivers in their area.

CEO and founder Bodhi Vette says the company's built a pool of skilled and reliable workers, and they're looking to send them out beyond New Zealand.

"We're really just looking at the 'fly in, fly out' roles that are over there at the moment - and there's about 26,000 drivers short over there, so there's big opportunities."

Whitcoulls Recommends: Dream Count and One Hundred Years of Betty 4:08

منذ يومين4:08

4:08

Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. This author is known and loved for her deeply moving and profound works of fiction (for me, particularly, Purple Hibiscus and Half of a Yellow Sun). This time it’s the story of four Nigerian women, and as such spans a wide geography from Africa to America with a great insight into their friendships, loves, regrets and world views. It’s very elegant and insightful storytelling – their lives were as authentic to me as those of women I actually know, and I loved it. One Hundred Years of Betty by Debra Oswald. This is the fictional memoir of a woman who, on the eve of her 100th birthday looks back over her life, reflecting on the changes she’s seen throughout her century and the many unexpected opportunities that came her way. This was the evolution of a naïve young immigrant to Australia who ended up living a life she could never have imagined – with all its struggle, grief, success, loves, disappointments and surprises. Betty is a very ordinary character who somehow lived an extraordinary life and it’s a joy to read. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Dr Michelle Dickinson: nanotechnologist on the new research revealing why some people can wiggle their ears 4:48

منذ يومين4:48

4:48

Can you wiggle your ears? Apparently around 15 percent of the population can consciously move their ears up and down. Now, new research published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience have figured out where this ear wiggling skill came from. While humans can't turn their ears like some animals, our ear muscles still try to make tiny, unconscious movements when we're listening to something intently. In the study, the researchers asked 20 volunteers to listen to an audiobook played through a speaker at the same time as a podcast was also played from the same location. They created different scenarios, starting with easy ones where the podcast was quieter than the audiobook and the pitches for both were very different. They also created challenging scenarios where two podcasts were played together over the audiobook and the pitch of all three were similar. Electrodes were placed on the volunteers allowing the researchers to record the electrical activity produced by the muscles involved in wiggling the ears. The researchers found activity in the superior auricular muscles, which lift the ear upwards and outwards, was larger during the most difficult listening conditions and that the posterior auricular muscles, which pull the ear backward, were more active when the sounds came from behind the participant than in front of them. While the majority of the volunteers couldn’t physically move their ears, the subtle twitches measured are thought to be remnants of an ancient reflex, called a "neural fossil" which came from our ancestors who could move their ears to focus on sounds. Although we lost the ability to visibly move our ears about 25 million years ago, these findings suggest that the neural pathways for ear movement are still present - and might subtly aid our ability to hear things.

Mike van de Elzen: Dried mushroom risotto 6:29

منذ يومين6:29

6:29

Dried mushroom risotto Cook time – 60 minutes Prep time – 20 minutes Serves 6 3 cups dried mushroom 1 onion, peeled and diced 4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed 2 tbsp vegetable oil Flaky sea salt 2 cups arborio rice 1/2 cup white wine 2 cups parmesan, grated 150 gm butter, cubed Black pepper Vegetable stock, hot (around 2 litres) METHOD Place the dried mushrooms into a pot and cover with the vegetable stock, add in the onion and garlic peels. Bring to the boil and turn down to a simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off and allow the mushrooms to soften. Up to a hour would be great. Prep the rest of your vegetables. Pour your mushroom stock through a sieve and discard the skins and finely slice the mushrooms. To make the risotto, heat your oil in a pan and gently saute your onions and garlic until translucent. Once cooked, add in your arborio rice and toast in the pan, stirring continuously. You want a little colour on the rice, without it catching. Once golden, pour in your white wine and mix, allowing the alcohol to simmer off. Add your mushroom stock a ladle at a time, stirring occasionally to stop it from sticking. Once all the stock is absorbed add another ladle in. Continue this process until the risotto is cooked al dente. Add in your chopped mushrooms and taste. Once cooked remove from the heat and stir in the parmesan and butter. Serve. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

The debate over how we fix Superannuation has sparked discussion over the years - and one expert has offered up a solution. Economists have stressed the importance over fixing this issue, as New Zealand stares down the barrel of an ever-expanding ageing population. In a new paper, Auckland University associate professor Susan St John introduced the idea of the New Zealand Superannuation Grant. "When we look to the future and we look at the fiscal pressures that are coming from an aging population and we look at the associated healthcare costs - we really do have to take our heads out of the sand."

Francesca Rudkin: It's been a big week for the health sector 3:33

منذ يومين3:33

3:33

It has been another big week for Health Minister Simeon Brown as he outlined his plan to deliver a better health system for New Zealanders. At the announcement on Friday, Brown outlined his 5 key health priorities, a shift back to local decision making by July this year - and that NZ Health would return to board governance. What was most interesting was that the Minister already has the cash and plans lined up to achieve the 5 priorities. Take note, Ministers. This is how to give an impression of action, even if what you’ve claimed as your own has likely been conceived and developed by your predecessor. Compared to Shane Reti’s quite specific list of 5 key priorities released at the same time last year, Brown has pitched a little broader, but is largely focused on same outcomes. Brown is going for a mix of quick and long term fixes. Kiwis waiting for elective surgery will be thrilled to hear the Government is investing $50 million between now and the end of June to reduce the backlog - that’s an additional 10,579 procedures and a nice way to shift the stats on one of his priorities. But this is ‘ambulance at the bottom of the hill’ stuff. And it’s just a short-term sugar hit if they can’t then keep up with future elective surgery demand and wait times. Hence, Brown is now looking to shore up better contracts with private operators to take the load off the public sector in an ongoing capacity. One obvious issue with this is that the private sector isn’t evenly spread across the country - post code lottery health care, anyone? This approach also relies on the private sector having the capacity to take on more public elective surgery. Is this another step towards privatising our health care system? Hopefully not. But if it means getting the surgery you have been waiting for, in pain, for a long time, I’m not sure voters will care who is delivering the service as long as it’s prompt and free. Brown's other priorities include making sure Kiwis have timely access to a doctor, reducing ED wait times, and investing in health infrastructure, digital and physical. Earlier in the week, Brown announced an increase in placements and incentives for overseas doctors and nurses to work in primary care, a 24/7 digital service for New Zealanders to access online medical appointments, and a $285 million uplift for general practice over 3 years General Practitioners Aotearoa welcomes the funding and attention on general practice, but says more information is needed to about how the money will be spent and distributed. As always, the devil is in the details. Will the $289 million land on the front line, or will it be used to recruit and train these overseas doctors, pay the $30 million for the nurse recruitment initiative, and run the digital service? If so, then how much does that help GP’s take on new patients and achieve the Government's targets? As for digital healthcare - there are already services on the market - not sure if the Government needs to invest in its own. Only time will tell if the Health Minister is on the right path - but after only minor improvements against targets last year, new minister Brown needs to be seen to take a bigger swing this year, even if he’s borrowing someone else’s homework.
