No, not the Bible.
I mean this that arrived in the mailbox yesterday.
It's been months since I've received a Listener. It's really good to see it in production again (Robert will, no doubt, disagree).
It's been several months since Bauer Media pulled the plug on this excellent magazine. I'm looking forward to reading it and doing the crosswords with my morning tea.
For Robert, who won't read it and prefers the Bible, here's a snapshot of the content:
" This week’s cover story on the Longevity Revolution explains why the Boomers won’t slow down as “retirement” is redefined; plus we outline six personality types – check yours for a happy and successful older age. Jack Tame reports on potential gains for New Zealand if we win a seat on the UN Security Council, and Jim Pinckney interviews Brooke Fraser about her new sound. We explain New Zealand writer Robin Hyde’s tragic battle with addiction and how it sparked a literary outpouring that remains relevant today. We look at whether protein makes you smarter and whether wool or recycled plastic is the most eco-friendly carpet. And in our packed Books and Culture section we lead with Comedy historian Jem Roberts’ definitive account on the writing of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy."
Roll on smoko time.

Yep, just like The Girl From Ipanema, it's great to have The Listener back.
