Launch of new series of Conversations That Count - Ngā Kōrero Whai Take

Hosted by esteemed broadcast personality Stacey Morrison, Te Arawa, Ngāi Tahu, the third season of the popular show continues where the first two left off, turning a keen eye towards the issues underpinning and impacting Aotearoa and te ao whanui.

Once a month, Stacey will be joined by leading Massey University academics and subject matter experts – activists, advocates and industry leaders – for wide-ranging and open-minded kōrero about everything from addressing literacy issues to building a safer Aotearoa. Each half-hour episode will serve as both a primer on its chosen topic and an attempt to chart a way forward. Whether we're already heading in the right direction or our collective approach needs adjustment, the series will seek to sketch the blueprint for a thriving, empowered Aotearoa.

Massey University Vice-Chancellor Professor Jan Thomas says Te Kunenga Ki Pūrehuroa Massey University is proud to partner with The Spinoff for season three of Conversations That Count Ngā Kōrero Whai Take. "This podcast allows us to share the expertise of our academics and their research, alongside other industry leaders and activists, and provide balanced and informed discussions that people can listen to in their own time. The issues explored and discussed are focused on Aotearoa New Zealand’s future, including the challenging issues but also opportunities. We aim to empower listeners through education and hope these episodes act as a catalyst for them to continue conversations within communities.”

Whatever your background, no matter your expertise, and wherever your ambitions may lie, if you have an interest in how Aotearoa could or should look as we move into the future, follow Conversations That Count – Ngā Kōrero Whai Take wherever you get your podcasts.
