Based in Tāmaki Makaurau, New Zealand, Lewis Tennant explores the lives & thoughts of the likes of musicians, writers, film makers, actors, and comedians... as well as hosting those that make things happen side of stage, below the line, and under the radar.

Oopsie NZ: New Podcast Out Now!
So this is what I've been working on since finishing Verbal Highs. It's been a lot of work... enjoy! Just follow Oopsie NZ wherever you get your podcasts.
Episode One: The Flag Referendums out now... then new episodes drop fortnightly.
