Podcast Addict5a year agokokella- Didn’t know what to expect
I found this podcast as part of my assignment for my graduate studies in Health Care Administration, Global and Population Health class. I was to pick a country and talk about a health problem that country currently is dealing with. I found this podcast to learn more about the inequities in health the Māori are experiencing. I wasn’t expecting to get hooked and care so much about the Māori people. I even looked up some words to learn in Māori like how to say “hello”. It’s a wonderful podcast, an... more

I work as a nurse in the Youth Justice System. This podcast is great. Emma validates the struggles and disparity the majority of the young people I work with have faced since birth. It makes me feel even more passionate about advocating for their health needs and the privilege it is for me to work amongst this population.
Apple Podcasts5AawhiNew Zealand5 years ago - Outstanding
Today I asked a patient to explain back to him the things I’d just said, to make sure I’d explained it well enough. Thanks Emma and the amazing doctors on the podcast for reminding me to do better.

Apple Podcasts5travellingwahinemaNew Zealand5 years ago - Compulsive and compelling
I am neither Māori nor work in the health system. I am a pakeha New Zealander who is extraordinarily grateful for the excellent work done on this podcast. The narratives are superb and the production quality is excellent. Compulsory listening for New Zealanders.

Awesome podcast. So well presented, interesting and challenging. Thanks so much for making such an important podcast!
Apple Podcasts5hanhys7New Zealand5 years ago - Listen, understand, kōrero, influence, change
Essential listening for beyond the medical profession. This podcast highlights institutionalised norms that benefit some and harm others. Here in a medical context but applicable across many. To do better we must first understand. This podcast gives us the reo to speak about the issues in our own contexts and spheres of influence. Understanding the issue is an important step towards making progress in Aotearoa.
