After seeing Ben get a Rita Ora tattoo for his daughter go viral on social media, Rita reached out and said she had to do the podcast - leading to an emotional and unforgettable face to face moment.
Sienna and Ben chat with Rita about:
The epic surprise moment when Sienna is surprised by her idol and dream guest
How Rita saw the tattoo online, got in touch, why it made her emotional and whether Ben has made things awkward with her husband Taika Waititi
Growing up feeling different - and learning to back yourself
Early pop star dreams, broken promises, and pushing through setbacks
What Rita has learnt about dealing with fame, nerves, and confidence
Juggling music, fashion, TV talent shows, acting roles - and knowing what to say yes to
How she manages a hectic global schedule without burning out
Plus, plenty of Kiwi chat, including:
What Rita loves about being in New Zealand
Her favourite Kiwi food and favourite place in the country
Her favourite New Zealand entertainers (that aren’t her husband)
Whether she has a favourite Taika Waititi movie
And, of course… What she’d tell her younger self at Sienna’s age

It’s a seriously funny and fascinating conversation.
They also caught up with three of the film’s stars: iconic Kiwi actor Cliff Curtis, Avatar’s Jake Sully himself, Sam Worthington, and Jack Champion, who plays Spider. Cliff reveals why he hates watching his own movies, all three share the very different ways they landed their roles, and the group weighs in on whether Ben should show up to pick Sienna up from school in full Avatar costume.

Our friend Tom Sainsbury has released a new season of his murder-mystery podcast Small Town Scandal. We wanted to share the first episode with you to try it out. We hope you enjoy! You can binge the first four episodes of the season here, right now.
When a human skull turns up under the 18th green at the Aldersgate Golf Course, golf podcaster Hugh Wyndham-Blythe is “volunteered” by his listen-hungry boss to investigate. Hugh’s initial reaction? Mild annoyance and a strong desire to get back to talking about swing tempo. But once he hears when the skull was buried, everything changes. This isn’t just some dusty cold case. Hugh starts to suspect he may have actually known the person whose head is now beneath his favourite hole.
Small Town Scandal is an 8-part mockumentary true-crime podcast all voiced by one incredible actor - Tom Sainsbury.

1771 - BONUS PODCAST: When I Grow Up Season 2
We've got a special guest in our podcast feed today! We're excited to share with you season 2 of When I Grow Up - the podcast from Ben and his daughter Sienna! If you like what you hear, follow the podcast wherever you're listening to this!
In the first episode of Season 2, Sienna and her Dad Ben, sit down with one of New Zealand’s greatest athletes, Dame Valerie Adams - someone she hopes to be like!
With Olympic gold medals, World Championship titles, and a career that has inspired a nation, Dame Valerie’s story is nothing short of legendary.
What makes this conversation so special is Valerie’s honesty about the challenges she faced growing up - from struggling to fit in as a teenager, to finding her purpose through sport, and building resilience through setbacks and injuries.
This conversation covers:
● Growing up with very little and feeling out of place as a teen because of her height
● Finding her purpose through sport and the mentors who guided her
● Handling setbacks, the effort it takes, and what it’s like competing on the world stage at the Olympic Games
● The achievements from Olympic Glory, becoming a Dame, having a Barbie doll made in her honour and where she keeps her medals!
● What Dame Valerie would tell her younger self and will she help Ben move rocks at home on the weekend!?
This episode is a powerful reminder that no matter where you start, you can achieve extraordinary things - and you don’t need to have it all figured out when you’re young (or at any age).
