“I absolutely love this podcast. It taught me so much, I even listened to some episodes twice just to make sure I remembered all the details. We learned next to nothing about NZ history when I was in school so it filled in many gaps. Thanks to the amazing hosts!”

“Since when did the people of New Zealand agree to change it’s name ?
Apart from that it’s a mostly balanced and realistic account of our history - although there is a subtle anti White New Zealander bias. But it isn’t as bad as some of the rewriting of NZ history which goes on these days. The...”Read full review »

“Maori were tolerant of gay and trans?? Lol rnz is so woke it’s an actual joke. Where was this written down? Oh wait it wasn’t that was just made up like most the other tales myths and legends you might as well have put the Maui and the sun story in there.”

“Thank you so much for making this series. I was born in the 80’s and cannot remember learning much of our country’s history at school which is really sad. This series has helped me understand more about my place in NZ and about where the systemic racism that is still with us has come from. Every...”Read full review »

“Loved to us series. I actually enjoyed it more on YouTube. Hosts did a great job. Writing superb. There's not enough of this sort of easily accessible NZ history content around. I hope they do more, maybe a 10 min run down of each administration since the war?”Read full review »

“An incredibly informative yet easy listening voyage through the past. It taught me so much about the decisions and actions of our Pakeha and Maori ancestors, which consequently led us to where we are today. It’s also helped me understand my place in Aotearoa; one with a fascinating amount of...”Read full review »

It’s not about teaching you anything in detail, it’s about giving you a taste test so you go find out more detail.
The Musket Wars / NZ Wars / Maori Wars - I had no idea and now I am going to go...”Read full review »
