Join the conversation with seasoned journalist Guyon Espiner as we unravel the intricate relationship between media and democracy.

Together, we dissect the financial tides shifting the sands of journalism, the rise of artificial intelligence generating misinformation, and the looming question: What happens when newsrooms dwindle and the guardians of democracy falter?

Guyon brings a wealth of experience from different media landscapes and teases his involvement in Aspiring Conversations, promising a riveting exchange with Paddy Gower and Susie Ferguson on the pulse of media's current state and its societal implications.

Shifting focus to a more personal narrative, we delve into New Zealand's entrenched drinking culture. Stemming from an eye-opening documentary produced for RNZ, this chapter of our dialogue touches on the generational norms around alcohol and the social and industry forces perpetuating this pervasive behaviour.
