The whole is 'worse' than the sum of it's parts

#RHOAKL, Bravo, Julia Sloane, Michelle BlanchardBy Pat BrittendenSeptember 21, 2016Leave a comment

By now most New Zealanders will have heard about the claims of racism on the ridiculously named, and tragically awful ‘Real’ Housewives of Auckland. even if you have no idea what this ‘show’ is, you’ll had heard murmurings over the last week about the fallout between Julia and Michelle. If you haven’t, long story short,…

Please don't make me side with the rednecks

Dunedin, Lizzie Marvelly, Nikolas Delegat, NZ Herald, PrisonsBy Pat BrittendenSeptember 18, 2016Leave a comment

There was an opinion piece that I saw in my timeline today by NZHerald columnist Lizzie Marvelly about the disgusting case of Nikolas Delegat assaulting a female officer in Dunedin and receiving 300 hours of community service and paying $5,000 in reparations as his punishment. Let me state this from the outset, I think the…

9/11 The Definitive Interview

9/11, Gene Coreley, MIchael Berger, New York, Twin TowersBy Pat BrittendenSeptember 12, 2016Leave a comment

As crazy as it sounds it has been 15 years since I was sitting in the More FM Auckland studio at just before 1am when calls started to come in about planes crashing into buildings in New York. The next 24 hours is history and the subsequent years have fuelled debates about what actually happened.…

Colin Kaepernick. A true Patriot.

BLM, Colin Caepernick, Freedom of Expression, Freedom of Speech, NFL, Star Spangled BannerBy Pat BrittendenAugust 31, 2016Leave a comment

The freedom of expression and free speech are just two of the cornerstones on which America builds it society. Often we will hear commentators on the television telling the world one of the reasons America is ‘the greatest country in the world’ is because of their ‘freedoms’. It would seem from the events of the…

Sexist, homophobic, racist…but that's what we want in our sports commentators isn't it?

Martin Devlin, NZME, Radio Sport, Radiosport, SexismBy Pat BrittendenAugust 30, 2016Leave a comment

Let me put my cards on the table. I like Martin Devlin, in fact if I am out and about between 9am and midday he is my choice to listen to on 693am in Dunedin. I think he is a amazing broadcaster and a nice guy but his rant yesterday to an abusive texter demonstrated…

#Rio2016 is a fairly good result for NZ

Rio2016, SportBy Pat BrittendenAugust 15, 2016Leave a comment

Over the past few days I have begun to hear commentators and ‘pundits’ talking about how well we are doing (or ‘not’ as the case may be) at #Rio2016. Like those commentators I also had the feeling that we were performing pretty poorly this time round so I thought I’d do some research as to…

Where does a progressive charismatic go?

Charismatic, Christian, Christianity, Church, Civil Rights, Conservative, Dunedin, LGBTI, ProgressiveBy Pat BrittendenAugust 15, 20165 Comments

So many of you know, in fact for many of you it may be the primary reason we are connected, that I am, for want of a better word, religious. I have never fitted well into any box. Most other people use the word ‘Christian’ when they talk about me but I don’t and never…

What would Pope Francis do?

I am a product of the Catholic schooling system although have not been a part of the Catholic Church since I was 16 and have not considered myself a Catholic since then. I am proud of my association with my old schools (St Peters College Years 7 to 9 and Sacred Heart College, Years 9 –…
