Kia ora and nau mai haere mai to Grey Areas with me, Petra Bagust. This is about growing up and going grey, in Aotearoa New Zealand because I’m getting older. And so are you. So how do we do it well? I reckon we can do it with a bit of gorgeousness and gusto and break that ‘getting old’ mould just a little. Or maybe more than a little. So join me as we climb into some of those topics that just aren't so clear-cut, maybe are a little chewy, a little crunchy… and let’s journey our way through them. I've got a group of wonderful wāhine, and the odd beaut bloke, to chat with, and we're going to share some wisdom that we've discovered along the way. And I’d love for you to share your wisdom with me too, because everybody has something to offer.

episode 5: BONUS: Reminiscing with Ice TV | Jon Bridges, Nathan Rarere + Petra's mum Judi
The first time we got together, Jon Bridges, Nathan Rarere and I spent so long talking about our favourite Ice TV memories that we ran out of time to talk about life since then. (Jonny also had no idea we were recording until he walked in and saw the microphones and cameras!)

episode 6: Old people doing it | Sex therapist Jo Robertson + Petra's friend Helen
