2:10 Giving Back With Bikes - Gary Sarten

Now we're off to north Taranaki to talk to a man who is both pursuing a past time he really enjoys, and, is doing something really helpful for young people in his community. His name is Gary Sarten, and his passion is bicycles, which is probably why some Waitara locals call him 'the bike dude'!

3:10 The Captain and the Cannibal - James Fairhead

One Sunday morning in November 1830, an American schooner called Antarctic discovered an uncharted island off the coast of Papua New Guinea. Islanders came out to the Antarctic, and the captain, fearing an attack, ordered cannon fire. As a result, one islander was captured, and, together with another man taken from another island, were brought all the way back to New York city, where they were made to perform in popular shows.  That story is now told in a new book by James Fairhead is a professor of Social anthropology at the University of Sussex. The book's called "The Captain and "the Cannibal": An Epic Story of Exploration, Kidnapping, and the Broadway Stage. Professor Fairhead is in Sussex.

3:30 Voices - Lynda Chanwai-Earle

There's a new mosque in the township of Taihape. It was initiated by Constable Abu after he encountered many travelling Muslims stopping to pray along busy State Highway One and built by the community of Taihape. Lynda Chanwai-Earle meets the locals and visits the new mosque to learn more.
