Newsable wraps up everything worth talking about in a short package every weekday morning.

Newsable is brought to you by BNZ. Listen to today’s episode in the player below.

Newsable is all about what everyone’s talking about. High brow, low brow, exclusives, analysis and hot takes – it’s a fresh way to get up to speed on the day’s big stories, delivered in a uniquely Stuff way – at 6am each weekday. Here’s what you need to know about today.

Good morning and a very happy Thursday to all and sundry.

What a yarn to kick off: the Auckland man who’s been bombarded with anonymous UberEats deliveries over the past couple of days, none of which he ordered himself – more than 30 in total. Sounds great, but the trouble is they’re not really up his alley: no KFC, lots of bubble tea and beef jerky and even the odd tampon.

Australia’s national dairy industry body says full fat milk sales have jumped 10% over the past decade, making up 71% of dairy milk sales last year – nutritionist Clare Turnbull joins us to chat about why.

Another page in the brimming ‘renting sucks’ manuscript: a man living in Waihi Beach has had his sunshine and his view cut off by a neighbouring garage, and he had no say in the matter. Trouble is, the garage’s owner dotted the i’s and crossed the t’s, and he doesn’t have much recourse.

And lastly, tall people: they earn more money, they supposedly have healthier hearts … maybe it’s time to take them down a peg or two. So, should we force them to stand at the back of concert halls?

On the Stuff Agenda today:

  • Prime Minister Chris Hipkins is visiting Coromandel today, inspecting some of the road damage caused by the February storms. His reaction in news today from 2.30pm.
  • It’s day two of Polyfest in Auckland and we’re focusing on the Papatoetoe High School group, getting to know the students, and going live on Stuff for their performance, from midday.
  • The Black Caps host Sri Lanka in the first test starting today in Christchurch. Join our live coverage from the toss at 10.30am.
