Great topics!

I really enjoyed how this podcast is put together, I don’t really listen to many but this one has some really good conversations with game changers & people who are genuine and have real inspirational stories. I look forward to more!

Encouraged.

Le Talanoa Show is a must. It’s relevant, thought provoking and confidence building. It touches on culture, language and identity within an Aotearoa setting and beyond. As a Pasifika woman, I’m encouraged to listen in on the whims of the real hustle and grind of our people and communty. Malo lava sis!
