2:10 Feature Interview - R J Mitte

Breaking Bad turned into something very good for actor RJ Mitte. He is best known for playing Walter "Flynn" White Junior, the son of the chemistry teacher turned drug dealer on the series some critics call one of the greatest ever produced for TV.  RJ didn't grow up dreaming of being an actor. It is not something many kids consider when they are teased and bullied. Like his character on Breaking Bad, RJ has cerebral palsy, a neurological condition that affects his speech and muscles. Now he is using his celebrity to advocate for people with disabilities and to take a stand against bullying in a campaign called 'Cut the Bull'.

2:20 Roadmap - Ngawi

Today we are hitting the road and travelling to the commercial fishing village of Ngawi. The village has about 20 permanent residents and is located 18 kilometres as the crow flies from Wellington but takes about 90 minutes driving from the capital. The village and surrounding Cape Palliser region is famed for it's lighthouse, fishing, seal colony, Maori history, pinnacles and the fact that it's said to have more tractors per head of population than anywhere else in the world!

3:10 Technology And Innovation

Our technology correspondent Paul Brislen is here to talk about the Microsoft laptop and the state of privacy law in Australia. And he'll introduce us to the Innovator-Of-The-Week, a Hamilton chap who tried to organise a treasure hunt for his 30th birthday and discovered there was not a single online service or app on the market that does that … so he built one. 

3:25 The Wireless

Mava Moayyed has been documenting the pain and desperation of women suffering endometriosis for Radio New Zealand's online magazine, The Wireless.

3:35 New Zealand Society

Puppets. They’re more than a mere form of entertainment or child’s play and in various parts of the world have been used to help children suffering from trauma, as well as being used as a means of strengthening community bonds. Sonia Sly finds out more when she meets the founders of the Rangawahia Environmental Arts Centre Trust who recently held a giant puppet making workshop at Island Bay School.
