Horomona Horo, an exponent of taonga puoro who has dedicated his life to helping the resurgence of this art by giving these taonga a modern song. "Horo" reveals to us about his tumultuous life and how tonga puoro saved him just as his mentors were saving taonga puoro.

Our first ever live episode! We set up at our Hamilton Mangakōtukutuku campus with a live audience and discuss how Māori language is changing with the times.

A kaimahi of Ngā Taonga sound and vision talks with us about the importance of archiving, the inner workings of looking after the content, and also shares a few of her own favourites with us too.
