Talking Taiao

Local & Sustainable podcast in Taranaki

Our mission is to inspire and support people, businesses, and communities to value the environment and act to prioritise sustainability.

We would like to highlight our region's efforts in acting as guardians of the land, "Taranaki Tiaki Taiao," while weaving Te Reo Māori and Mātauranga within our conversations to help our wider community learn through a positive, educational, and uplifting lens. 

Each week, with Access Radio Taranaki, we interview a different guest who has an exciting local story to share that will help us to understand our natural environment and how we can all play a part in the future our whenua.

Season 1 (2023) was a collaboration between Sustainable Taranaki and Forest and Bird in an effort to ring listeners closer to the positive environmental action in Aotearoa.
