    Tiny Houses
    2018/04/19
    Pimped-out tiny houses have been popping up all over the country. The movement seems like a natural fit for Kiwis, harking back to our rural roots, but does that extend to urban settings? In the final Superfad episode, hosts Laura Walters and Katie Kenny move in to a tiny house on the prarie. They learn how its owner and builder pieced it together for a mere $8000. They also discuss the fad with a young Wellingtonian who is happily living, and working, in a shipping container by the sea. But even he admits its not all idyllic in tiny house living, so while political leaders are largely behind the craze it's unlikely we'll see the kinds of legal changes needed to make tiny houses a big part of the solution to New Zealand's housing crisis.

    Vaping

    Jodi Green lost half her tongue to mouth cancer. It could have been worse if it wasn’t for e-cigarettes, she says. Green is one of the many evangelists for vaping - an alternative to dangerous tobacco cigarettes - who told us their stories for this episode of Superfad. People like Green are adamant vaping is already making a vital contribution to reducing the harm caused by addictive tobacco cigarettes. As vaping has become more a part of our communities, enthusiasts have formed their own groups, even running smoke-ring blowing contests (heard of the jellyfish?). But the medical community is equivocal. A review of evidence on e-cigarettes commissioned by Public Health England described vaping as “95 per cent less harmful [than smoking] and of negligible risk to bystanders”. But an inquiry by the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand said there’s a strong case for much heavier restrictions, citing studies showing the adverse effects of e-cigarettes on the lungs are immediate. For this episode, Superfad hosts Laura Walters and Katie Kenny go inside the vaping community, hearing their stories, learning the lingo and trying out the trend for themselves. They also hear from health experts worried about a lack of clarity on the impact of vaping and regulators grappling with what to do about it. Read more about vaping on Stuff: stuff.co.nz/superfad.

    Can a fad be 2500 years old? In the madness of 21st Century living, “mindfulness” is back. Trendy retreats, meditation classes, and mindfulness apps are mushrooming. Evidence of its efficacy has encouraged its use in schools and even by the military. In this episode of Superfad, hosts Laura Walters and Katie Kenny figure out what “mindfulness” actually is, consider the view of the cynics and give it a try for themselves. We hear first from Lotta Dann, a sober alcoholic and firm believer in the merits of mindfulness. Read more about mindfulness on Stuff: stuff.co.nz/superfad.
