| 10/2/24 | ![]() Dr Peter Meihana - Exploding a Pākehā Myth (Wairau launch) | Growing up, Dr Peter Meihana often heard that Māori received special treatment and had advantages that other New Zealanders did not. However, this idea didn’t match with his life experience as Māori nor did it match with what he learned when he became hooked on studying history. He blew the myth apart in his doctorate thesis and has kindly encapsulated his argument for the lay reader in his important new book, Privilege in Perpetuity, Exploding a Pākehā Myth. Peter was in conversation with Emma Tucker at the 2023 Marlborough Book Festival. | 1h 05m 30s | ||||||

| 5/29/24 | ![]() Cristina Sanders - Mrs Jewell and the Wreck of the General Grant | Mrs Jewell and the Wreck of the General Grant is a vivid imagining of the story behind the southern hemisphere's most famous shipwreck. The gold-laden General Grant struck the Auckland Islands in 1866, with just 14 men and a single woman making it to shore. The mystery of what happened to the ship has attracted treasure hunters and adventurers ever since, and fascinated author Cristina Sanders and interviewer, journalist Mike White. This session is from the 2023 Marlborough Book Festival. | 1h 00m 00s | ||||||
| 4/21/24 | ![]() Gavin Lang - Seeking the Light | Gavin Lang's book Seeking the Light is about climbing the country’s highest mountains that rise above 3000m, but it's about the importance of getting outdoors to improve health and wellbeing.

| 4/10/24 | ![]() An Hour with Eileen Merriman | Two consistencies throughout Eileen Merriman’s childhood were her fascination with the human body and a desire to be a doctor.

| 3/21/24 | ![]() Catherine Chidgey - The Axeman’s Carnival | An utterly believable mimicking magpie narrates this extraordinary story set in the beautiful yet harsh landscape of Central Otago. Catherine Chidgey discusses her inspiration for the novel, with its exploration of themes encompassing domestic violence, the challenges of farming, the weird world of internet fame, and the vagaries of human relationships with animals, which she suggests can be at once closely bonded and exploitative. Catherine was in conversation with Nikki Macdonald at the 2023 Marlborough Book Festival. | 1h 01m 07s | ||||||
| 2/25/24 | ![]() Nick Bollinger - Jumping Sundays | In his latest book, the Ockham illustrated non-fiction award-winning Jumping Sundays: The Rise and Fall of the Counterculture in Aotearoa New Zealand, Nick Bollinger tells the story of beards and bombs, freaks and firebrands, self-destruction and self-realisation, during the ‘60s and ‘70s, a turbulent and definitive period in New Zealand’s history and culture. ‘Bollinger puts a personal and personable stamp on this critical decade with words, sights and sounds that surprise and delight,’ writes cultural historian Bronwyn Labrum. Nick was in conversation with Robbie Burton at the 2023 Marlborough Book Festival. | 56m 00s | ||||||
