Review: Te Radar's Eating The Dog
- The Wellingtonista
- Te Radar's show Eating The Dog has the hypothesis that New Zealand's history and national character have been shaped by all the crazy fools out there, having ill-fated adventures, making things that don't quite work, and generally getting a bit carried away.

Maranui v2
- The Wellingtonista
- It's a cold, rainy Tuesday afternoon in the first day of winter. Why, it's a perfect day to go to the beach! The occasion is the first day of business for the back-from-the-dead Maranui Cafe. After being damaged in a fire last year, escaping the threat of demolition and managing to keep not just the building intact but also the business, the cafe has been reborn, like a phoenix rising from a pile of coffee grounds and sand.
