Part 1 of a special collaboration episode with the Happy Hour History Podcast about a very interesting and not well known part of New Zealand history: Robert ‘Bob’ Semple. This is all about his early life, his involvement in politics and the early labour movement in Aotearoa. It’s an absolute cracker! Warning: language that some may deem offensive used throughout.
