4. An Honest Perspective from a Kiwi Cop
With crime in NZ at an alarmingly high rate, what better time to hear from someone on the front line? Eamon is a Police officer in Auckland and has had to respond to countless challenges and constant danger in his work. I'm sure I speak for many kiwis when I say cheers for all the mahi and sticking your necks out to keep us safe.
Stay tuned to hear about the time I tried to play cop back in my student days in Palmy North!

3. The Protein Breakthrough That Would Change Everything
In this episode, your host Marcus Taylor is joined by Chris Simcock, who works for Leaft. Leaft is on the cusp of isolating the most abundant protein on the planet, rubisco, which is found in the green leaves of plants. Numerous companies have tried and failed to extract it in bulk in a usable form. The first to do so will change the landscape of our planet forever by reducing world hunger, carbon & methane emissions, and nitrogen leaching. Their team projects protein yields of 2.5 tons per hectare - 4x higher than that of dairy, all grown and harvested in a carbon-neutral way.

1. Ukraine, NATO & COVID in New Zealand (Re-Upload)
Today, your host Marcus Taylor describes his recent trip to Ukraine to help with the refugee crisis. Could this war have been prevented? Since the recording of this podcast on March 30th 2022, more evidence of Russia's war crimes has come to light. Russia has abandoned its original objective of capturing Kyiv and has moved its forces to Eastern Ukraine. In Mauripol, just 2500 Ukrainian soldiers remain, fighting for their lives from a steelworks and network of underground tunnels.

2. Inside Brazil's Largest Favelas
Today, your host Marcus Taylor describes his experiences inside some of the largest Favelas in South America. Behind the guns and the drugs lies a complex society, woven into a maze of narrow alleys, stacked houses, and endless stairs that wind up Brazil's most iconic mountain valleys. Intergang violence, shootouts with police, and human trafficking are just some of the challenges the people living in these communities face on a daily basis.
