- A quality addition to your team
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.

New Zealand2 months ago - Everest’s dirty little secret
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.
Apple Podcasts3Piwakawaka99New Zealand3 months ago - You really dumped on Te Pati Māori
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.
Apple Podcasts3ThangbocheNew Zealanda year ago - Excellent and insightful
