When does convenience affect Tikanga? Should it ever? As our fast modern times start to be blend our customs, there are sometimes cases where Tikanga is adapted for certain occasions, but it might not always be appropriate.

Our story on Tāne and his brothers continues, as he journeys to Rangiātea to retrieve the three Kete o te wānanga.

We pay tribute to one of the instigators of the elite Te Panekiretanga o Te Reo Māori programme and a giant of te reo Māori, Dr James Te Wharehuia Milroy QSO, CNZM (Ngāi Tūhoe and Ngāti Kōura), who passed away on Tuesday.

This ever popular and sometimes confusing Reo subject covers many examples of you, me, them, us etc. We try to decode and outline some rules with examples of pronoun use in Te Reo Māori.

Paraone and Te Puaheiri kōrero about Māori games and passtimes - from way back when, now, and the future.

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.
