A year is a long time in (local) politics. As Wellington’s first Māori Mayor, Tory Whanau, hits that milestone, she shares with Amanda Millar the hard lessons she’s learnt managing the political heat, the haters and herself.
am&courageous conversations is all about digging into the lives of those who are prepared to live courageously. It’s about those who are prepared to use their voice to benefit others and to make a difference in the world. It will examine the impact on those who use that courage to put themselves out there in a relentless news cycle where cancel culture dictates and where the online space can be toxic and pervasive. What’s the downside? What’s the payback? What’s the outcome they want? Are they capable of getting the results?

Who are these people? Amanda Millar finds out in a provocative podcast that promises honesty, humour, insights, entertainment and inspiration.
