Join NZ's favourite political podcast live in Auckland as Toby Manhire, Annabelle Lee-Mather and Ben Thomas check in on the government halfway through its term.
Please note: this event has shifted dates and will now take place on Wednesday 9 April 2025.
Host Toby Manhire will be joined by Annabelle Lee-Mather (Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāti Māmoe) (executive producer of The Hui) and Ben Thomas (former press secretary in the Key government) as they boldly step out of the studio and in front of an audience to cast a curious and caustic eye on New Zealand politics.
