131 - Sailing Instructions

History of Aotearoa New Zealand Podcast

04/19/24 • 40 min

Today we discuss the instructions that Abel Tasman was given by the Batavian Council for his 1642 expedition. This included anything from what ships and supplies he would be given right through to how he should interact with indigenous peoples. This will help us understand Tasman's actions as well as give us a frame of reference for how the Council will judge the voyage upon its completion.

123 Part 2 - My Bird of the Century 2023

History of Aotearoa New Zealand Podcast

11/03/23 • 45 min

It's that time of year again! The Forest and Bird competition to see who is Aotearoa's Bird of the Year is back on! Every year I pick a native or endemic bird to talk about to teach you about some of the weird and wonderful birds we have.

This year it is extra special because Forest and Bird turn 100 years old this year and to celebrate they have added new contenders into the election that are extinct! So I've chosen two to talk about along with ecologist partner Lily. This episode we talk about the Laughing Owl!

You can vote in the Bird of the Year here!
