From time to time something special comes along that just has to be made available for all to hear. These special broadcasts are one-off programmes or significant interviews that have featured on Access Radio Taranaki.
This spring, Taranaki opens its doors to its past. Taryn sits down with Heritage Taranaki’s Rob Green to explore some of the stories, places, people and questions behind Taranaki Heritage Month 2025 (3 Oct – 8 Nov). From special tours across the rohe, to archival film screenings and conversations about women’s voices, war histories, and community memory, this month-long event digs into both the beauty and the complexity in our shared regional heritage. Join us for a kōrero full of local flavour, reflections, and a call to connect, because understanding yesterday helps us shape tomorrow.

Special Broadcasts 08-10-2025 Faith in Partnership
What happens when faith becomes a bridge instead of a barrier?
Jay and Erin Ruka are partners in life, love, leadership, and even their mahi at the Taranaki Cathedral. In this kōrero, they share how they’ve walked between worlds — between te ao Māori and the church, between the past and the future — and why they believe Māori wards are one piece in the intricate puzzle of reconciliation.
This is a story about choosing love over fear, and about what it really means to live as partners, in every sense of the word.
