Newsable wraps up what’s worth talking about in a short package every weekday morning.

Newsable is brought to you by BNZ.

Mōrena, happy Wednesday, hope it’s been a great week so far.

A midweek fun fact for you – on this day 20 years ago, 50 Cent’s ‘In Da Club’ was top of the New Zealand charts. What a time! What a song!

A not-so-fun fact kicking off the podcast today, though, you can catch the clap from kissing. Yup – a new study has confirmed suspicions gonorrhoea can spread by smooching and experts are calling for our public health advice to be updated ASAP.

There’s a new social media in town – Bluesky. It’s been created by the man who also brought us Twitter (Jack Dorsey, not Elon Musk), so we get the lowdown on what this new platform is and also means.

Stuff senior political reporter Thomas Manch joins us to discuss why gun policy could end up playing quite a big role in this year’s election.

Plus we got some cracker tales of your own road cone thefts, so we read a few of those out and discuss the art student who ate a piece of art off the wall because he was hungry (to be fair to the guy, it was a banana).

Chuck In Da Club on and have a boogie! But only once you’ve listened to today’s episode, of course.
