• Brain Injuries with Iain Watkins (Brain Injury NZ)
    Jul 27 2022

    Back in April I had an accident (see thumbnail) and it left me with a concussion which made things tough. So to understand brain injuries and what support looks like I had a korero with Iain Watkins from Brain Injury NZ. Audio is a bit scratchy sorry, did my best to clean it.

  • Hobbling to Greymouth (accessible tourism)
    Jul 11 2022

    Going for a holiday or tiki tour is pretty great but how is it if you've got movement challenges? I'm currently in that situation so challenged myself to get to Māwhera Greymouth and learnt about the obstacles and support available.


    With guests Sam Duckor Jones, Glen from Duke Hostel, and Garry Farrow from WTS Waikato.

  • Aotearoa's Eugenics Movement
    Jun 13 2022

    This episode is dedicated to the memory of Maya.


    A century ago our mental health system was fixated on eugenics and protecting the ‘white race’. So to understand everything playing out Doctors Hilary Stace and Hamish Spencer take us through the subject. This one is heavy and I won’t judge if you don’t listen but I made this because we can’t forget what’s been done.
