Customer Reviews
Loving it so far
Just starting to listen to this while I’m working on a vineyard in kurow. Enjoying it so much so far, a really entertaining but informative narrative and as a foreigner here (welsh) I’m loving learning about the history of this amazing country. Can’t wait to dig in to more episodes.
Fantastic and getting me through MI
Just wanted to say thanks so much for taking the time to develop and make this podcast. Having recently moved over to Aotearoa, and being in Managed Isolation, this is making the time pass so much quicker and is really helping me understand some of the origins of the country and biculturalism. Thanks so much and keep up the great work!
Simple concept well told
I love how much this feels like it is teaching me super basic stuff but in a non-patronising way! Really nicely told. Thanks for making this :)
