Thomas Rillstone, host of the award winning History of Aotearoa New Zealand Podcast, joins Susana Lei'ataua for the first in a three part series of 'Sunday History Hits'. Across the three instalments we're going to delve into some of Aotearoa's quirky, eccentric and less well known characters.
Today Thomas looks at the wild life of pre-colonial British trader Barnet Barns. His story involves a heady mix of business, love, kidnap and war.
