MAFS' John Aiken on the upcoming season and his new documentary series
John Aiken is here with a sneaky teaser on what to expect from the upcoming season of MAFS. John also has an amazing, important new three-part documentary series, Lessons on Living.
John reflects on the honour and pressure of bringing Nigel Latta’s final work to life after his passing, sharing how the project helped him process his own grief following the sudden death of his Married At First Sight co-star, Mel.
We discuss the reality of public grieving, the power of vulnerability, and the three core principles of resilience Nigel outlines in his book.
Lessons on Living out now on Sky Open, Neon and ThreeNow

‘Summer I Turned Pretty’ movie details from Rain Spencer (Taylor)
The Summer I Turned Pretty star Rain Spencer joins me to talk about her role in the new New Zealand feature film, Big Girls Don't Cry. Rain opens up about spending two months filming around Auckland, Omaha, and Piha, teaching herself how to drive on the other side of the road, and falling in love with the Kiwi landscape.
We throw it back to 2006 teenage nostalgia, MSN Messenger, texting abbreviations, and test Rain on her knowledge of classic Kiwi slang like "brolly" and "jandals". Rain also reflects on wrapping up a five-year chapter on The Summer I Turned Pretty, the bond she formed with her castmates, and what drew her to Paloma Schneideman’s powerful coming-of-age movie.
