Taringa Podcast

Ringa Hora Services (workforce development council) held their annual Tuia conference in Hamilton - two days of vocational insights, whanaungatanga, and inspiration, with learnings that will contribute to the successful and sustainable future for our mokopuna. Taringa were privileged to have been invited to kōrerorero on stage at Tuia 2024, where this episode was recorded live, as the hosts discuss what it means to be truely Māori and offering thoughts on how to strive for a collective approach to Māori business and iwi development.

The conversation continues with Rob Ruha. Rob shares his experience as a creative, and finishes up with a short waiata, a capella.

Tuarihia ki runga, tuarihia ki raro, tuarihia te rongo o ngā waiata, o ngā kura o te whānau Tuari. This week we are honoured to host the Tuari brothers and their infamous sister, boss, māngai Ani Piki Tuari. A whānau spoilt with a wealth of musical talent, haka experience and te ao Māori tirohanga. They share with us their views of stage from musicals, haka and song recording.

For the second time in Taringa history, we have an entire episode dedicated to Kīwaha. Check out this collection of snippets from episodes 67, through to episode 81, focusing on Māori colloquialism, or as Erica would say, "a funner way of saying something".

In this episode, our hosts listen to snippets of an interview from 1978 with the famous (or infamous) Whaia McClutchie. Whaia speaks about a range of topics, mainly to do with the role of women on the Marae.
