Welcome to the world of the Northland Artists Conversation. This is the first of 2 older podcasts that we are spotlighting because of their incredible power and how important they are when we first started this amazing journey. Please join us as we revisit the amazing story of critically acclaimed and best-selling author Lauren Roche.
A true story of hardships endured and hardships overcome, Laurens journey is nothing short of inspiring and captivating.
We discuss her life from growing up in Wellington, an unexpected boat ride to America, being a single teenage mother working in the sex industry through to her decision to re-educate herself and become a doctor. She talks about her long tenured career as a GP and her heartbreaking injury that led her back to her passion for writing. She has officially released her first novel 'Mila and the Bone Man' and we couldn't have been more excited for her!
This is an incredibly powerful podcast, and we urge both our supporters and first time listeners to listen or watch. Challenging and confronting at times, there is also humour and light as we witness the story of a phenomenal person who has overcome incredible adversity and emerged a better, stronger person. Thank you for sharing with us Lauren, there are not enough words to express how open you were to both us and our audience

Northland Artists Conversation with Nicholas Connop

Northland Artists Conversation

08/18/22 • 83 min

Had an amazing opportunity to sit down with local creative Nicholas Connop
Nicholas talks openly about his journey through living in Whangarei, his time working his way up the ranks of a local supermarket before taking the step into politics; all while discussing how he has been a long time creative who re-purposes thrown away items to create new works of art. His passion for creating and how he has worked hard to get where he is now.
Never shying away from any question, Nick talks openly, honestly and with a great passion about all the aspects of his life that he loves. Truly a man of the people and someone who is easily recognisable by his bright and colourful attire and the iconic denim jacket.

Nora was such a fun, quirky and wicked person to have the pleasure of talking with. She wasn't afraid to talk about some of her more challenging experiences growing up and how she came to be in our wonderful country. We were truly blessed to have her on the podcast.

It was so lovely to have Nora come in and sit down and lie with all of our amazing guests, we have no idea what we will end up talking about, so it was a real pleasure to have her join us. Make sure you check out her podcast and so many other amazing guests!

Well hello there, it's lovely to see you again, thanks for stopping by. It's always a pleasure to have new returning and new visitors to our show. On this week's podcast, we have a fantastic local artist who has been blazing his own trail for nearly 2 decades. Please welcome to the podcast, Steven Cox.
A guest that we had tried to have on the podcast before and technical difficulties made us unable to publish his podcast, so we are incredibly grateful to have him back and sit down with us. Steven shared his initial artistic loves and how he eventually migrated to being a hip hop beat maker and lyricist. He was definitely happy to talk about his challenges and how he has been able to push through them.
Steven is such an awesome guest, and a really good sport. Being part of the OBC, he quickly established himself as a creative force, a truly gifted artist. Make sure you check out his podcast and all of our other amazing guests we have had on!
