Great opinion piece on newsroom from a small business owner, reflecting on the need for lockdowns bit.ly/3b4EYus

Congrats to my friend the very talented @littlewildmusic for a wonderful song and a fantastic review! If you have children then take a look.

Big day for our sustainability guru James Walker, on @Breakfaston1 discussing "green hush" and why NZ businesses need to talk about their sustainability efforts. Spoiler: your customers care and will spend their money with you. New research findings: shorturl.at/rAT19

For 18 years @guardianweekly has been my faithful companion, guiding me through the madness of Trump & Brexit to the wonders of Pastafarians. I believe in paying for great journalism but you’re having a laugh: lifting the cost from $300 to $500? It’s as if you want us to break up

Shoppers have been thanking their Kiwi heroes on a wall at Sylvia Park. Lots of really lovely shout outs to police, paramedics, nurses, teachers, firefighters and the military. My old mate @SimonAshworth8 @NewshubNZ came along to film #kiwihero @2degreesmobile

While the wilder members of the Porter Novelli team were rocking out at Phil Collins, I was having a quiet night with @thelivingendaus at The Powerstation. Brilliant

Should have gone to Specsavers?

Upped the average age a wee bit at #laneway, but still managed to get front row at the fantastic Gang of Youths. Worth every cent of the entry price

A must-read for all ex-journos-turned-comms-people. Hell it's a must-read for everyone. Beautifully written, funny and spot-on. For the love of journalists everywhere, stop reaching out and just give them a ruddy call! thespinoff.co.nz/business/20…

Brilliant! Read, laugh, agree, and maybe weep a little at the madness of it all: thespinoff.co.nz/politics/02…

Had a chuckle and a reminder of why the fabulous RNZ will never be a major threat to Radio Sport, when they revealed Brighton beat Manchester United one-love
