https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/rss NZME The Weekend Collective on Newstalk ZB is an intelligent and fun take on the life you live and what you love.

And what should we pick up now before it's gone out of season? Chef Allyson Gofton joins to discuss seasonal diets, and some recipes to keep you warm as we head into winter.  LISTEN ABOVE  Sun, 05 Apr 2026 05:01:09 Z https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/politics-central/helen-clark-and-maurice-williamson-what-can-we-expect-from-the-build-up-to-the-election/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/politics-central/helen-clark-and-maurice-williamson-what-can-we-expect-from-the-build-up-to-the-election/ It's election year again in New Zealand, and it's a process that we're all familiar with.  But few are more familiar than Former PM Helen Clark and Former National MP Maurice Williamson, who joined Tim Beverige to look at what we can expect from election year.  LISTEN ABOVE Sun, 05 Apr 2026 04:13:49 Z https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/the-parent-squad/sara-chatwin-is-it-okay-for-children-to-be-involved-in-politics/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/the-parent-squad/sara-chatwin-is-it-okay-for-children-to-be-involved-in-politics/ Our children are becoming increasingly involved in politics and current events, and they're getting involved younger and younger.  We want to support their interests, but the news can get pretty dark, and these kinds of events or protests always come with a risk of danger.  LISTEN ABOVE Sat, 04 Apr 2026 05:19:15 Z https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/the-oneroof-radio-show/kelly-gammie-the-biggest-interior-design-mistakes/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/the-oneroof-radio-show/kelly-gammie-the-biggest-interior-design-mistakes/ Have you ever walked into a home and thought - there was so much potential and it's all been lost.  A room with limited natural light, painted in dark shades and made to look smaller than it is. A poorly shaped couch that throws off the whole room. Or one that we see all too often - old, outdated lighting that can make a gorgeous home immediately look neglected.

There are countless things in the modern world that young people risk becoming addicted to - they don't even have to appear sinister.

You're paying to maintain the property in a way you wouldn't be if it were a rental, you're covering rates, insurance, and all the other little costs that add up pretty quickly.  That's money that some investors argue could be spent on investments, or on a rental of your own that would at least bring some return.  LISTEN ABOVE Sat, 28 Mar 2026 03:59:01 Z https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/audio/the-panel-with-kyle-macdonald-and-pete-wolfkamp-fuel-support-location-sharing/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/audio/the-panel-with-kyle-macdonald-and-pete-wolfkamp-fuel-support-location-sharing/ This week on The Panel, Tim Beveridge is joined by psychotherapist Kyle MacDonald and Resident Builder Pete Wolfkamp to discuss the biggest stories from the week that was.  LISTEN ABOVE Sat, 28 Mar 2026 03:09:23 Z https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/smart-money/rupert-carlyon-global-tension-ignore-your-kiwisaver/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/smart-money/rupert-carlyon-global-tension-ignore-your-kiwisaver/ Tensions are high for everyone right now, and I know most people will either be nervously checking their KiwiSaver balance on the daily, or completely ignoring it until things calm down a bit.  The most repeated advice advisors will be giving right now is to simply ignore your balance for the time being - that by the time the first bomb dropped, it was too late to change anything. But is that really true?  LISTEN ABOVE Sun, 22 Mar 2026 04:58:49 Z https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/the-health-hub/dr-john-cameron-the-divide-between-telehealth-and-face-to-face-appointments/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/the-health-hub/dr-john-cameron-the-divide-between-telehealth-and-face-to-face-appointments/ The popularity of Telehealth GP appointments skyrocketed during the pandemic, and it hasn't gone away since.  Just about every general practice now offers Telehealth appointments, generally as a less costly and more accessible alternative. But this country has an increasingly urgent primary care crisis, with 50% of GPs planning to retire by 2035 - and Telehealth is just another tool to get more patients seen as GPs leave the workforce.  LISTEN ABOVE Sun, 22 Mar 2026 04:04:11 Z https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/politics-central/liam-hehir-nz-first-in-solid-position-ahead-of-election/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/politics-central/liam-hehir-nz-first-in-solid-position-ahead-of-election/ Winston Peters has delivered NZ First's State of the Nation address - the final one ahead of the looming election.  Peters also announced a National Energy Strategy that would break up power companies, no longer allowing them to control both power and the price.  LISTEN ABOVE Sun, 22 Mar 2026 02:42:18 Z https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/the-parent-squad/alex-chiet-are-we-doing-our-kids-a-disservice-if-they-dont-play-sports/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/the-parent-squad/alex-chiet-are-we-doing-our-kids-a-disservice-if-they-dont-play-sports/ Most kids will take part in some kind of sport throughout their childhood.  It's a great opportunity to keep them moving and allow them to burn off some energy, but how early should we be getting our children into these teams?

For many people, it's the first time they have to think about contracts and legal obligations - but are there red flags which should have you as a landlord rejectying a particuolar tenant - and like wise as a tenant that have you looking for somewhere else to live.

Or should we invest it all?  LISTEN ABOVE Sun, 08 Mar 2026 04:58:38 Z https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/the-health-hub/alex-flint-training-for-your-body-type/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/the-health-hub/alex-flint-training-for-your-body-type/ You may have heard the suggestion that you should train for your body type, that your workout routine should depend on whether you have an ecto, meso, or endomorph body.  Is it true? Do different body types have different exercise needs?  LISTEN ABOVE Sun, 08 Mar 2026 04:14:15 Z https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/politics-central/clint-smith-polls-arent-as-important-as-youd-think-1/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/politics-central/clint-smith-polls-arent-as-important-as-youd-think-1/ The Prime Minister's leadership within his own party is being questioned after he didn't fare well in a Taxpayers' Union poll this week.  It has National down 2.9 points to 28.4% - but most notably, it suggests that the centre-left bloc could form a government in November. It'll be very tight though, with 61 seats for the left and 59 for the right.  Luxon sits at 21% for preferred prime minister, while Hipkins is at 22.7%.  LISTEN ABOVE Sun, 08 Mar 2026 02:49:16 Z https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/politics-central/who-is-leading-this-invasion-former-pm-helen-clark-on-iran/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/politics-central/who-is-leading-this-invasion-former-pm-helen-clark-on-iran/ One week on, the war in Iran is progressing by the day.  In the latest, the United States are gearing up to potentially send ground troops into Iran, Australia is considering whether they should send in troops, and New Zealand supports the US but won't involve itself any further.  LISTEN ABOVE Sun, 08 Mar 2026 02:33:04 Z https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/the-parent-squad/dougal-sutherland-children-benefit-more-from-being-with-parents-than-ece/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/the-parent-squad/dougal-sutherland-children-benefit-more-from-being-with-parents-than-ece/ Early childhood education is darn expensive.  You want your kids to socialise, make friends, learn some basics - but it costs an arm and a leg.  So how long can you put it off?

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the strikes - a claim Iran denied until half an hour ago, with officials saying he was “safe and sound” and “actively commanding the field”. International reaction has been mixed, with some governments condemning the strikes, others urging restraint, and many calling for urgent diplomatic talks.

The move-on orders apply to anyone displaying disorderly or intimidating behaviour, impeding someone entering a business, breaching the peace, begging, rough sleeping, and behaviour indicating an intent to inhabit a public place. Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith joined Tim Beveridge to chat about what this announcement means in reality.  LISTEN ABOVE Sun, 22 Feb 2026 05:36:15 Z https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/the-parent-squad/dr-maneesh-deva-is-social-media-harm-inescapable-without-isolating-our-children/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/the-parent-squad/dr-maneesh-deva-is-social-media-harm-inescapable-without-isolating-our-children/ Child safety reform in the world of big tech is sweeping the globe at the moment.  Australia's leading the charge in the social media ban for under 16s, and California has expanded the Coogan Law to cover child influencers, to name a few.  Although we haven't seen any change here in New Zealand, the conversation has truly started and we may see moves being made soon.  LISTEN ABOVE Sat, 21 Feb 2026 04:56:16 Z https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/the-oneroof-radio-show/peter-norris-the-questions-to-ask-before-you-declare-yourself-the-bank-of-mum-and-dad/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/the-oneroof-radio-show/peter-norris-the-questions-to-ask-before-you-declare-yourself-the-bank-of-mum-and-dad/ If you're declaring yourself as the bank of mum and dad, you'll need to have some conversations with your children about what they can afford - and what happens if that changes.  LISTEN ABOVE Sat, 21 Feb 2026 03:58:47 Z https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/audio/the-panel-with-brad-olsen-and-mark-crysell-winter-olympics-former-prince-andrew/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/audio/the-panel-with-brad-olsen-and-mark-crysell-winter-olympics-former-prince-andrew/ This week on The Panel, Tim Beveridge is joined by Infometrics CEO Brad Olsen and presenter Mark Crysell to discuss the biggest stories from the week that was.  LISTEN ABOVE Sat, 21 Feb 2026 02:59:09 Z https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/smart-money/shane-solly-spots-of-recovery-in-the-economy/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/smart-money/shane-solly-spots-of-recovery-in-the-economy/ We've started to see spots of what looks to be recovery in our economy over recent months.  It's not consistent, but it's frequent enough to give us some hope for the year to come.  Westpac is picking a whole lot of OCR hikes from the end of this year, and other forecasts seem to set a similar scene - a better economy is coming, and rates will have to reflect that when the time comes.  LISTEN ABOVE Sun, 15 Feb 2026 04:58:47 Z https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/the-health-hub/matt-doocey-weve-come-a-long-way-with-mental-health/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/the-health-hub/matt-doocey-weve-come-a-long-way-with-mental-health/ We've seen the data - the wait to get mental health or addiction support is getting lower and the system seems to be improving.  But the system is still under immense pressure, and too many people will have a story about being let down by those who were meant to help them or family, but why?  LISTEN ABOVE Sun, 15 Feb 2026 04:08:34 Z https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/politics-central/feroz-ali-national-did-a-great-job-with-india-fta/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/politics-central/feroz-ali-national-did-a-great-job-with-india-fta/ Labour is hesitant to put their support behind an India FTA without the government meeting certain conditions.  It says free trade is a net positive, but agreements shouldn't cause harm to New Zealand - which is what we risk with this FTA.  LISTEN ABOVE Sun, 15 Feb 2026 02:55:22 Z https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/politics-central/david-seymour-act-wants-to-cut-number-of-govt-ministries/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/politics-central/david-seymour-act-wants-to-cut-number-of-govt-ministries/ ACT Party leader David Seymour delivered his State of the Nation address this morning.  He says this government is on track to produce positive change, but it's not happening as quickly as it could be.  ACT says there are three ways to break our country's slump: equal rights, positive thinking, and a smaller government.  LISTEN ABOVE Sun, 15 Feb 2026 02:37:59 Z https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/the-parent-squad/john-cowan-stress-is-making-you-a-bad-parent/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/the-parent-squad/john-cowan-stress-is-making-you-a-bad-parent/ Many parents will be starting to feel the exhaustion from getting back into school and extracurriculars.  We often go into the new year with high expectations of ourselves - like completely homemade school lunches, no takeout, keeping on top of house work - but quickly realise there was a reason we weren't accomplishing all that last year.  LISTEN ABOVE Sat, 14 Feb 2026 04:50:35 Z https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/the-oneroof-radio-show/martin-cooper-westpac-picks-6-ocr-hikes/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/the-oneroof-radio-show/martin-cooper-westpac-picks-6-ocr-hikes/ Westpac's economists are picking 6 consecutive OCR hikes from December - they're forecasting that it will hit 4% by the end of next year.  The OCR dropped to 2.25% just before Christmas, which is where it stands now, but there have been rumblings for some time that we'd start seeing hikes soon, as all major banks lifted long-term loan rates.  LISTEN ABOVE Sat, 14 Feb 2026 04:16:06 Z https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/audio/the-panel-with-matilda-green-and-pete-wolfkamp-maori-seats-social-media-addiction/ https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-weekend-collective/audio/the-panel-with-matilda-green-and-pete-wolfkamp-maori-seats-social-media-addiction/ This week on The Panel, Tim Beveridge is joined by Co-host of the Untidy Podcast Matilda Green, and Resident Builder Pete Wolfkamp, to discuss the biggest stories from the week that was.  LISTEN ABOVE Sat, 14 Feb 2026 03:16:19 Z
