  • Great political analysis

    I send this podcast to anyone who I speak to who is wrestling with our current social issues in Aotearoa New Zealand. Particularly good for non Maori to wrap their heads around what on earth is going on, how it affects the people of this country and who benefits and who doesn’t. In this current media crisis keep doing what you’re doing at BHN. You help explain the smoke and mirrors in our current world.
