Crucial , intelligent and entertaining documentation of NZ contemporary culture
The last two episodes have been great . Please don’t stop bro !
Lewis has a great and compelling style to his discussions and interviews. His guests seem to be at ease and engaged with him. There is a relaxed and rambling nature to these podcasts which is charming and endearing. His podcasts go from strength to strength. They are a treasure.
