Ahiahi mārie. Today on The Spinoff, a very brief explainer of the new Covid rules (or lack thereof), Siouxsie Wiles warns against doing what the government just did and Duncan Greive chats to Alice Snedden about the return (and end) of her series Bad News.
“I would say about the very last thing on my list of things to do at the mall was ‘look at a stranger’s penis’. But as I charged round the corner, there it was. The man was tucked discreetly between a pillar and a large pot plant, out of sight from almost everyone else mooching around the mall. I first noticed his fixed gaze. Then I noticed his penis was hanging out of his jeans. “Retelling this story later, I have tried to make the encounter ‘funny’, just as the majority of people I told it to like to respond with a ‘funny’ trench coat joke. But the truth is, I was terrified.”
