(Upcoming Projects)

Intrepid Journeys
New Zealand's favourite backpacking experience takes off for season five with former Prime Minister Jenny Shipley, broadcaster Pam Corkery, twinkle toes Shane Cortez, former All Blacks Norm Heweitt and Glen Osborne, actor Stephanie Tauevehi and broadcaster Paul Holmes jetting to exotic and uncomfortable locations like Namibia, Uzbekistan, Yemen and Ladakh.

Off The Radar
There is much romance surrounding the concept of escaping the rat race to live a self-sustaining lifestyle and surely Aotearoa is the best place on earth to make this back-to-basics dream come true. Comedian, Te Radar, is about to find out. Heading Off The Radar, he’ll ditch the cushy consumer life and trial the delights and difficulties of living off the land; do saucers of beer really keep snails off cabbages? How do you make goat's milk cheese and, more importantly, can you stand to eat it? And what happens when the time comes for Percy the pet lamb to hit the dinner platter?

That said, Off The Radar is also a forum to confront topical ecological issues facing New Zealand like the viability of solar power and how simple steps like composting and starting worm farms can reduce landfill.

From breaking in the veggie patch to selling off the home made pickle and home grown potatoes, what will life hold Off The Radar?
