About this episode
The episode features a live discussion about bucket list buildings at the OpenCHCH festival in Ōtautahi.
Welcome to Episode 68! We're back from a brilliant weekend in Ōtautahi taking part in OpenCHCH, and we kicked off the festival with a live event. Recorded on the evening of Friday 1 May at Warren and Mahoney's 1963 masterpiece - the Harewood Crematorium - we discussed some of our bucket list buildings on a night titled "I'd Die Happy Once I Saw That" Featuring four talented guests, Juanita Hepi (Kāi Tahu, Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngātiwai, Ngāpuhi), Andrew Just (Field Studio), Sarah Rowlands (photographer) and Dr Jessica Halliday (Te Pūtahi Director). Huge thanks to Dr Jess Halliday and the OpenCHCH team for hosting us over the weekend. We've got more to come from our visit so stay tuned! Many thanks to everyone who came, and our gratitude to Arran Eley, who recorded and mixed this live episode. xx for Matt xx Theme Music: The Cosmic Wheels Cover photo: Natasha Markham
