A-Zof Aotearoa: Inventions

From Afternoons, 2:30 pm on 25 September 2025

From the 40-hour working week and Daylight Savings time, Jet Boats, and the whistle, all the way through to splitting the atom and creating the virtual cow fence... The history of inventing runs deep here in Aotearoa New Zealand. So deep that we even have a name for it - The Number 8 Wire mentality. To learn more about our inventive history David Downs joined Jesse. David is the author of two books on Kiwi inventions - Number 8 Re-wired, and Number 8 Re-charged.
