The new podcast series has been recorded around the table where immigrant whānau have conversations they normally wouldn’t, crossing barriers of language, generation, and expectation.
This RNZ/NZ on Air Innovation Fund project has been produced by Julie Zhu and Saraid de Silva Cameron. The pair are also co-hosts for the series that saw them travelling around the country to meet some inspiring families.
