Anna Fifield is a quality addition and her opening focus on India and its regional and global role and relationship with Aotearoa was incisive and illuminating. Yet still no exploration as to why we’ve signed up for ‘a ginormous’ investment program into India with a potential refunding of our tariff gains if we fail to achieve this.
I usually enjoy the reporting by the journalists with their insightful questions, but I wish Sharon had challenged Guy Cotter more on his commercialisation versus guiding and making Everest democratic. The “dirty” could also refer to all the rubbish left behind by the teams that try to summit Everest.
This episode on the troubles within TPM was shallow and didn't interview any of the politicians involved. Nor was there any analysis of criticism of the party's perceived failures. It looked quite racist.
My go-to for deep dives.
Great podcast, covers such a variety and gets to the core of issues and real life communities in Aotearoa NZ. Just hit follow you won’t regret it!
