  • Sounding out the Long-Time Listener: a Study of the Talkback Radio Audience That Doesn’T Talk Back in Aotearoa New Zealand
    Sounding out the long-time listener: A study of the talkback radio audience that doesn’t talk back in Aotearoa New Zealand Maureen Sinton A thesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) 2020 School of Communication Studies Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies Abstract Talkback radio is a very popular medium in New Zealand with hundreds of thousands of people tuning in daily to listen to a huge variety of topics from politics to dreams to stain removal. Anything and everything are up for discussion. This Grounded Theory study of talkback radio listeners in Aotearoa New Zealand asks why do they make the choice to listen to talkback in a digital market place crowded with options. Stereotypes suggest that the talkback listener mirrors the talkback caller: older, right wing with a desire to vent their frustrations. This study finds that talkback listeners are more varied than this stereotype suggests, as are their reasons for listening. However, stereotypes do apply to the content which is in the main presented from te ao Pākehā, a Pākehā world view. Talkback radio listeners and producers and hosts from the industry were interviewed. Listener participants said they listened to learn what other members of their community were thinking at any one time. Talkback’s liveness assures them that what they are hearing is current as compared with prerecorded talk-based media. The participant’s choice of talkback did not indicate agreement with what they heard, nor did they expect to agree. They did not expect the content they heard on talkback radio to be factually correct.

  • State Secrets
    1 WARNING In 1995 someone tried to blow up British Prime Minister John Major during his visit to New Zealand for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Conference. A massive explosive device was located at Auckland’s Sheraton Hotel. Police decided not to inform the hotel or evacuate guests or alert the media, for fear of creating panic. They took the risk and defused the device in situ. On another occasion, the lives of everyone on board an airliner carrying a visiting world leader came within a nano-second of destruction, when an armed police officer shot a hole in the aircraft. The common denominator in both cases? The public have never been told. What else haven’t they told you? 2 ABOUT THE AUTHOR Ben Vidgen is a freelance writer/researcher and defence intelligence analyst. His work has been published in New Zealand, Australia and the US. As a researcher he has worked for Canterbury University and a number of corporations and non-profit organisations. State Secrets, his first book, draws on his first hand experience (and the subsequent contacts he developed) within the Royal New Zealand Army, the intelligence community, corporate media and various subcultures within New Zealand. State Secrets also draws upon his academic studies and long term research into intelligence, espionage, terrorism and organised crime. Ben lives in Nelson. He states his hobbies as stand-up comedy and playing in traffic. 3 STate secrets Ben C Vidgen Howling At The Moon Publishing Ltd 4 First edition published 1999 (September) by Howling At The Moon Publishing Ltd, PO Box 302-188 North Harbour Auckland 1310 NEW ZEALAND Email [email protected] Web http://www.howlingatthemoon.com Copyright © Ben Vidgen, 1999 Copyright © Howling At The Moon Publishing Ltd, 1999 The moral rights of the author have been asserted.
