New Listener
Kia ora and hello from New Zealand 😊 I want to say thank you for the diverse range of stories from all over the globe. I recognised some of my own peoples sharing their story which was pretty cool! I’m glad kiwis get to share their stories and be heard. Thank you to everyone who has shared their stories! My favourite part is actually the theme music 😆 I have just finished all of season 9 and 10. Would really like more stories from older people. Otherwise thank you for the stories.
