So very interesting! I’m making my husband listen to this immediately (after having paraphrased the whole episode to him because I couldn’t wait).

Thank you for the good work!

Firstly, I love the show. I’m a little behind on the series but as tauiwi, I am learning a lot. In this episode, you mention a YouTube channel, but you don’t reference it? I’m sure I’ll find it as I journey through this series. You seem like a humble guy but please plug away, that’s how people will find you on multiple platforms.
Thanks again 🙂

Kia ora, glad to hear you are enjoying it and hopefully learning some new stuff! There is a Youtube channel for the podcast, its mostly just the audio of the episodes but there are a few random other things on there too. There will be a video on Māori board games going up this weekend!
