• The Highlight Reel Episode 33: James' driving gets him in trouble
    Jun 21 2024

    This week on The Highlight Reel with Simon Barnett and James Daniels is everything from granny flats to fast cars.

    Why did James' driving get him in trouble with listeners?

    Si and James debate sportsmanship after Rory McIlroy failed to shake Bryson DeChambeau's hand after being pipped to the title at the US Golf Open.

    The pair also discuss aspirations of saving native species, and ask why our children aren't learning to swim like they used to.

    All of that plus the disappointing news that avocados are bad for the environment.

  • The Highlight Reel Episode 32: Embarrassing situations
    Jun 7 2024

    This week on The Highlight Reel, there's a bit of a theme around embarrassment.

    First —in an out of the mouths of babes scenario— one parent's weekend activities were revealed at Simon's grandson's first day of school. Then we learn about Simon's undies being on display at the airport, and finally how an innocent wink at a female co-worker went wrong.

    Si and James got stuck into the thorny old issue of hospital parking and the fines incurred when you are already stressed.

    The pair asked how long household appliances should last?

    Wellington Mayor Tory Whanau’s ADHD diagnosis sparked a very interesting discussion about the increasing number of people being diagnosed with it later in life.

    Plus, just how relevant is Shakespeare in 2024?
