Something for the People
Something for the People is your unapologetically Māori current affairs podcast – big kaupapa, straight-up kōrero, plenty of laughs, and the odd debate.
From politics to kapa haka, rangatahi to pakeke, nothing’s off the table as we wānanga what really matters in te ao Māori today!
New content dropping from Wednesday through to Saturday each week!
