In a slight change of plan, this week we have put together a compilation of some of the beautiful waiata from past episodes, and we have a special guest to help Erica explain why!

The parents are away and the kids are left to play - Snowy and Erica answer questions about embalming, lunar phases,  tohutō (macrons) and Tikanga compromised for convenience like practices around hākari, karakia, wairea and karanga.

Pita Tipene phones in to talk with us about the history and stories of the Northern Iwi - Ngāti Hine.

We are treated to a visit from a very special kaikōrero; passionate Irish Te Reo speaker Aoife Finn shares the experience of teaching herself our Māori language from afar - he tangata kai ngākau a Aoife.

Get your note pads out, as we discuss more terms of embellishment and the metaphorical use of Te Reo surrounding the topic of rākau.

Ka kōrero mo Tikanga 101 - Paraone and Snowy discuss Tapu in it's various contexts, including the history, as well as how it is viewed and applied in modern times.

Turn up the volume and enjoy this kōrero that includes our first chapter of the famous story about Tāne and his brothers in their pursuit for knowledge and wisdom.

After a bit of a kaupapa break - Iwi o te Wiki kicks off again with Kiley Nepia joining us to talk about Ngāti Apa, including some of the positive initiatives they have put in place. Check out their delicious Iwi made goodness at https://www.tastemanaaki.com/

As Te Matatini ki te Ao 2019 is taking place in Pōneke, we talk about some of the ins and outs of Kapahaka - with special guest Tiaki Terekia.

In our first kōrero on Kupu Mino — or loaned words, we start to de-mystify the common mis-use of the word "Transliteration" and cover the history and function of borrowed words used in Te Reo Māori.
