We’re back. Sorry. Aotearoa New Zealand’s politics, posting and pop culture podcast is back because everything is going very wrong. We last ran from 2021 to 2023, and then took a hiatus. We’re back. Sorry for that.

This week it's just me, talking to you. This month has seen a moral panic be stoked by nefarious right-wing forces, intent on taking down members of the Green Party. In this episode, I put all the pieces together. A right-wing echo chamber, the Deputy Prime Minister, a moral panic, and what happens next and what to do next. It's shorter than usual,…

I'm joined by Kyle, Jennifer and Stephanie to discuss what the hell has happened in the two years since we went off-air. In short, not a lot of good stuff - a lot of bad stuff. We take the usual dismal view of the United States, look to the absolute state of the NZ Government and the rising dirty politics tactics against the left as a response, but…

We don't talk a lot on this one. Instead, we invited Zoomer correspondents Artemis, August and Jack to talk about being a Zoomer, the pandemic, social-media, representation, that gay shit and what it's like being a Zoomer (and what Millennials, Gen X and Boomers gets wrong about zoomers, it's a lot) This is the best podcast we've done. You should l…

This week I asked Adam, Hannah and Nick on to talk about what safeguarding actually looks like in schools, what the Christian and anti-trans right wing are saying about the Relationships and Sexuality Curriculum guidance, and how teachers are responding to gross accusations and conspiracies about them. Transcript of the show available here: https:/…

A movie episode! I brought prospective parliamentary candidates for the NZ Greens Steph Rodgers and Fran Hernandez on, and we watched Keanu Reeves flick Chain Reaction from 1996. It's about the discovery of free energy (Yay!) and how the CIA are bad (Yay!) but also the FBI are good (Huh?) and, yeah, overall there are some baffling choices in this f…

Kellie-Jane Keen-Minshull came to Aotearoa and had a BAD TIME. John has asked three trans folks and a cis woman to talk about attending the protest in Tamaki-makau-rau, the trans rights rally in Pōneke and Ōtautahi, and their views on this issue. These voices are not often heard in NZ media, so we'll do it instead. Our theme music is New Opportunit…

We had Cassie and Charlie on a month or so ago and promised we'd get them back for a fun episode. So, we fucked that up. We all watched Fantastic Beasts 2: The Crimes Of Grindelwald and had a Bad Time watching a Bad Movie from a Bad Writer. You want a cruel and brutally awful world? Yeah? With magic? Yeah! How about some children being murdered. Co…

We got 1 of 200's Kyle Church on to talk about the media in Aotearoa, and the role that independent left wing media has in providing a breadth of ideas, especially at a time when it seems like the horizons are somewhat narrowed by what is and isn't deemed politically viable. We chat some shit about other stuff too.…

Two eps in a week I bet you think that's pretty clever, don't you boy. We are joined by Charlie @casuallycharlie and Cassie @shortcasserole because SHIT IS GETTING WORSE OUT THERE. We talk about Wellington, COVID, incurious political professors and the horrible feeling that this is only the beginning of some very bad stuff. It's a cheerful episode …
