Transcripts

Below you can find transcripts for all the main episodes. These are mostly correct, as I tend to script word for word but there will be some slight changes as I find out certain sentences are hard to say when I record and will just change it in the recording.

The only episodes not shown here are the dramatic retellings of myths and legends, as they have so far all come from the book “Maori Myths & Legendary Tales” By A. W. Reed and some of the episodes are totally unscripted and off the top my head. Be my guest if you want to transcribe it for me to put here though! Anyway, happy reading!
