If this is your first time, thanks for stopping by and if you have been here before we appreciate you coming back and enjoying our little slice of the internet. Please join us in welcoming, the wonderfully effervescent, warm and incredibly kind, Nora Flowers!

    Hailing from p[arts unknown lol, Kaleb was a guest that was both well-spoken and a laugh a minute. Quick with a joke and such a genuinely funny person to talk with. It was great to be able to share some jokes and humour and touch on a few personal subjects that he wasnt afraid to tackle.

    Kaleb brought in some original and unique handmade items to this podcast and was such a good sport in talking with us. It was great to have him be the first official podcast of the year.

    Welcome to the world of the Northland Artists Conversation. This is the second of 2 older podcasts that we are spotlighting because of their incredible power and how important they are when we first started this amazing journey. Please join us as we revisit the amazing podcast from creative extraordinaire Angela Rowe.

    Having begun her creative journey in Auckland, she forged a career as a Mac operator, a projectionist and in arts education. Later moving to Whangarei, she completed a Master of Fine Arts through Whitecliffe College of Arts and Design, Auckland in 2020 and has formed the Collective Practise; a group of artists, including former NorthTec graduates and other excellent local artists.

    Angela was such an amazing guest to have on the podcast, and she spoke about the challenging times she found herself in during lockdown and how she was able to transition that into her creativity. Angela has also become a huge advocate for funding and has become an important figure in helping artists secure funding and grants for their work.

    Welcome to the world of the Northland Artists Conversation. This is the first of 2 older podcasts that we are spotlighting because of their incredible power and how important they are when we first started this amazing journey. Please join us as we revisit the amazing story of critically acclaimed and best-selling author Lauren Roche.

    A true story of hardships endured and hardships overcome, Laurens journey is nothing short of inspiring and captivating.

    We discuss her life from growing up in Wellington, an unexpected boat ride to America, being a single teenage mother working in the sex industry through to her decision to re-educate herself and become a doctor. She talks about her long tenured career as a GP and her heartbreaking injury that led her back to her passion for writing. She has officially released her first novel 'Mila and the Bone Man' and we couldn't have been more excited for her!

    This is an incredibly powerful podcast, and we urge both our supporters and first time listeners to listen or watch. Challenging and confronting at times, there is also humour and light as we witness the story of a phenomenal person who has overcome incredible adversity and emerged a better, stronger person. Thank you for sharing with us Lauren, there are not enough words to express how open you were to both us and our audience

    Well hello there, it's lovely to see you again, thanks for stopping by. It's always a pleasure to have new returning and new visitors to our show. On this week's podcast, we have a fantastic local artist who is blazing his own trail. Please welcome to the podcast, Sandeep Diwan.

    A guest that we met through Reyburn House, Sandeep, was like a lot of our guests. Initially a bit shy and unsure of being on the podcast, but boy, did he do a great job! He was super chatty, and we had a lot of laughs, and it was great to be able to sit down with an artist who is fortunate enough to be able to do his passion, not only as a hobby but also as his job.

    Sandeep is such an awesome guest, and he isn't afraid to talk about his life before moving to our beautiful slice of paradise. A truly gifted artist, he was happy to engage with us in a unique way and talks very frankly about his time in Whangarei. Make sure you check out his podcast and all of our other amazing guests we have had on!

    Welcome to the warmer side of spring fans and supporters of the podcast. This podcast is guaranteed to provide a lot of food for thought and may even be slightly controversial in some circles and we are sure it will spark some debate. Please join me in welcoming to the podcast, Craig Neilson

    This was a slightly different podcast for us as instead of delving into Craig's journey as deeply as we normally would, we ended up discussing his passion which is AI and how it can be used in a creative sense. A real eye-opener of a podcast and we thank him for sharing with us.

    It was great to have a guest like Craig on as he was able to provide some alternative uses for how Artificial Intelligence would be of benefit to artistic people and no we didn't go down the rabbit hole and talk about Skynet and the rising of the machines. Just a good, honest conversation. Make sure you check out his podcast and all of our other amazing guests we have had on!
