What the picker changes
  • Top topics digest — the cards score the selected period against the prior 4 weeks.
  • 12-week heatmap & outlet matrix — show the 12 weeks ending at the selected week (they slide back with the picker, they aren’t a fixed snapshot).
  • Per-topic volume / alias drift — same 12-week trailing window, anchored on the selected period.
  • Coverage gap quadrant — scores the selected period against the 12 weeks before it (not including it).
  • Anomaly cards — only show alerts the detector fired during the selected period. Quiet weeks legitimately show none.
What stays as-is
  • Outlet orientation strip / lean colours — context-only, drawn from the last 12 weeks of activity regardless.
  • Co-occurrence graph — recent-activity anchored, not picker-driven.
  • Source & topic profiles — all-time data for the topic; the picker doesn’t affect them.
Rolling 7 days is a sliding live window for “current vibes”; switch to Weekly to compare specific weeks side-by-side.

  • on the bhn store right now look at that there are stickers available new stickers available uh the ditch the bricks and if the left votes the left wins for as cheap as three dollars each uh depending on if you buy bulk if you don't buy bulk and of course the og the og that we're still a bit embarrassed about that we don't really know why we haven't had it up there before BHN sticker they're there they're available so people who have been ordering merch in the last week are getting some free ones but from now actually technically from when I'm recording this at 1 30 this afternoon we're cutting off the freebies and if you order anything after 1 30 up until now and going forward then there will be no free ditch the precks if the left votes the left wins or be 18 stickers it's just for you special people who jumped in in the last sort of 10 days or so So that's exciting. Also, as a reminder, on the front page, we do have a brand new podcast starting on Sunday night featuring and hosted by Tanya Waikato. It's called Pātai with the Polis, Pātai meaning questions, questions with the Polis, meaning politicians, not Polynesians, just in case you're wondering. It's not questions with the Polynesians, it's questions with the politicians. And her first guest this Sunday night live at 7pm is is Chloe Swarbrick and one of the ideas that Tanya really wants to get across in that podcast is for you to interact with the politician. Questions from the audience. So it's going to be an hour-ish sort of a show and the first half hour is going to be An interview between Tanya and Guest and the second half hour is pretty much going to be left open to questions from you if you are interested. bhn.nz forward slash shop for those new stickers and of course wherever you're watching this you will also be able to watch Tanya on Sunday night. No show Monday night, Easter, Monday and I will be back. be back with you again on Tuesday night. As I just said, my kind of style is to get into these long-form conversations in kind of a meandering way, so let's get into it right now as we meander into a conversation between me and the Bituation Rooms Francesca Fiorentini. Is there anything you want or need to know before we have a chat?
