Earlier this week we talked to Matthew Hooton about teaching history in New Zealand, and the importance of story-telling - and having great stories to tell - in keeping young people interested and engaged.
Wellington High history teacher Henry Hollis knows a thing or two about that - and he's unearthed some great, outrageous, bombastic stories from early New Zealand history to demonstrate that it wasn't just the Tudors who knew how to stir things up.
He joins us to tell some colourful, little-known stories from the days of yore.
