The hosts dive into a fresh batch of listener pātai — from how to appropriately koha kai to a nearby marae, to the lingering mystery in the story of Reitū and Reipae, and finally a whakaaro about the kupu waka when used as a metaphor and how that affects its place within the ā/ō categories. Whakarongo mai as we unpack tikanga, pūrākau and reo nuances in true Taringa style.

Paraone & Erica continue their kōrero with Te Makau Shane Te Ruki as he takes us on a fascinating journey exploring the whakapapa, history and forgotten practices of the Nomadic iwi of the central Waikato region; Ngāti Unu. Our kōrero with Shane offers a glimpse into the rich cultural and environmental heritage of the now non-existent bogs of Kakepuku and the tuna heke, as well as numerous places with names that are now unknown to many.

In honour of our national day of commemoration of the NZ Land Wars, this installment of Once Upon a Taima is a brief version of the battle of Ō-Rākau in 1864. This version is based on the account of Hitiri Te Paerata, a Chief of Ngāti Raukawa & Ngāti te Kohera, who fought in the battle himself - losing many of his whānau, including his Father and Brother.

What's in a name? The Taringa trio look at the thoughts and considerations that are or should be taken when naming such things as whare (marae and contemporary buildings), taonga (heirlooms, objects) and kaupapa (initiatives, companies). Keep an ear out also for our kīwaha that denotes a period since something has happened.
