Prophecy Distilling - From Kitchen Experiments to Award-Winning Spirits This journey takes us to Central Otago, where Prophecy Distilling is creating distinctive spirits inspired by landscape, curiosity and collaboration.

From foraged botanicals like speargrass root and horopito to the creative vision behind their bold bottle design, discover how Prophecy Distilling blends science, storytelling and a strong sense of place.

Breast Cancer, AI and Digital Booking System AI will soon help do the grunt work in calculating treatments for breast cancer. AI is already assisting overseas for breast screening and it is soon to be in NZ. This does not replace humans, but it will free up specialised medical staff and further reduce waiting times and alleviate stress on the health system. We also hear about the new digital booking system for screening appointments - which will remove barriers in women not attending screening due to the inflexibility of the current system. Early detection of this cancer is vital and the booking system will ensure women have a choice of when there appointment is rather than it be scheduled for them without consultation and potentially putting off screening. The Cancer Society discuss topics around cancer awareness and cancer prevention, what's on in Kāpiti and how can we stay well.
