When I first heard tidbits from Simon Bennett's life, I thought, 'This needs to be recorded.' Thankfully Simon agreed to chat and we now have Episode 6 of Breakfast Chats. For 30 years, Simon has been deeply involved in local NZ theatre, film and TV and now helms the international hit American kids show, Power Rangers. The child of mime artists who toured NZ and abroad, Simon initially tried to get away from performance art by studying law, but life had other plans in mind for him. This is the last episode of Breakfast Chats for now - I really hope you enjoy this kōrero!
Aasha-Samara is a multi-media artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau that I've been stalking on Instagram for a while. After gushing over her zines, photos and her incredibly stylish wedding, I reached out to ask if she'd be up for a chat. Thankfully, she was! In this episode of Breakfast Chats, I got to talk to Aasha-Samara about her work, where she finds inspiration and what resources she's found useful for healing and growth. This is a super chill chat, great for putting on in the background while you potter. Enjoy!
What does it mean to live sustainably? Are condoms compostable? What keeps you going when faced with the enormity of the climate crisis? I ask Kate Hall from Ethically Kate all this and more in Episode 4 of Breakfast Chats. Enjoy!
In a suburban garage slash recording studio, I sat down with two members of Auckland band, Goodspace to chat about their music, creative process, and finding their good space.
I sat down with Jackie Clarke and Scorpion Princess (a pseudonym) to chat about The Aunties' first book 'Her Say: Survivors of Domestic Abuse Tell Their Own Stories.' The Aunties is a charitable organisation and community that supports survivors of domestic or intimate partner violence. In 'Her Say,' members of The Aunties whānau share their stories in their own words.
I talk to Jackie and Scorpion Princess about their experiences, getting the book published, and how we can support people living in DV or domestic violence.
In this episode, we discuss topics that some might find triggering or upsetting. Please look after yourself when listening to this conversation. Explicit language is also used.
I talk to Julie Zhu about why she learnt te reo Māori, how this helped her heal old wounds after denying her Chinese heritage, and the work she's done sharing the stories of minority cultures in Aotearoa through film.
