    Two men who bear a resemblance to the man of the season, Associate Professor Rosser Johnson joins Matt to talk about how he got where he is, infomercials and toxic masculinity. Topics swing through learning over the decades, moving from the attention economy to the affection economy, toxic masculinity and the loss of proper argument in universities and society.

    This was a fun sit-down with Dr. Tui Matelau, Kaiwhakatere of the School of Communication Studies at AUT. A good example of whanaungatanga, this chat sees us find what we have in common; 6 year-old daughters, a love for creativity and a connection to Te Pou Theatre (where you can see Tui's play in its premiere production in 2026).
