Back in April I had an accident (see thumbnail) and it left me with a concussion which made things tough. So to understand brain injuries and what support looks like I had a korero with Iain Watkins from Brain Injury NZ. Audio is a bit scratchy sorry, did my best to clean it.

Going for a holiday or tiki tour is pretty great but how is it if you've got movement challenges? I'm currently in that situation so challenged myself to get to Māwhera Greymouth and learnt about the obstacles and support available.
With guests Sam Duckor Jones, Glen from Duke Hostel, and Garry Farrow from WTS Waikato.

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Maya.
A century ago our mental health system was fixated on eugenics and protecting the ‘white race’. So to understand everything playing out Doctors Hilary Stace and Hamish Spencer take us through the subject. This one is heavy and I won’t judge if you don’t listen but I made this because we can’t forget what’s been done.

I reckon Chris Finlayson is pretty cool because he just goes for it! In fact that kid in the 60s watching Perry Mason ended up shaping modern Treaty settlements and helped bring justice and recognition to Aotearoa's past. We caught up for a quick chat - sorry for being a bit off though, I blame the concussion :/
Plus, check out his piece on co-governance on ETangata -
