Sarah Krieg and Ash Raymond James talk to poets from Aotearoa New Zealand in their studio in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. Their goal? To open your mind about what poetry could be. Guests include local slam poets, as well as writers who are fresh on the scene.
Hebe Kearney is the person behind Blackout Poetry Aotearoa, and a huge nerd. If you come across their poetry, you'll know more than you ever imagined about niche topics like radiation, fungi, or the history of a particular date in the Gregorian calendar. And you know what? Their enthusiasm is contagious. Welcome, the royal supreme of accessible poetry, zine-making and special interests!

S3 Ep 6 - Dominic Hoey
A pillar of poetry in Aotearoa, Dominic Hoey sits down with us to talk about some of his most controversial takes. Is there really a difference between poetry and prose? Can rich people make good art? Is writer's block real?
Dominic believes the best writing doesn't just come from Universities and residencies, but from learning from the writers around you. As the teacher of "How to Write Good", author of 1985, and co-founder of Deadbird Books, Dominic shares his insights from a life of navigating Aoteroa's literary "scenes".
