Reel-to-reel, cassettes, floppy disks, digital audio tape, CDs, you name it – the life of O Te Upoko O Te Ika radio station was preserved on all manner of formats. In 2007, Te Reo Irirangi O Te Upoko O Te Ika Trust donated over two thousand of these interviews recorded between 1982-1995, to become one of the Alexander Turnbull Library’s biggest collections: Te Upoko O Te Ika Sound Recordings: Ref: OHColl-0937
Hundreds of these interviews were conducted and broadcast in the interviewees’ first language, Te Reo. The voices of Radio Te Upoko O Te Ika are a storehouse of politics and culture unique to Aotearoa New Zealand and a treasure illuminating the depth and diversity of Te Reo Māori.
In 2015, the Te Reo Irirangi o Te Upoko o Te Ika Trust and the Alexander Turnbull Library began working to make this archive of music and conversational and formal Māori language recordings available to the public online and on its ground floor audio pods.
Thanks to the vision and tireless effort of Piripi Walker and the Trustees and staff of Te Reo Irirangi o Te Ūpoko o Te Ika Trust, National Library’s Richard McIntosh and the staff of Digital New Zealand and the Alexander Turnbull Library the collection continues to be digitised and remastered for full public access.
Speakers:
Veteran Māori broadcaster Piripi Walker managed Te Upoko o te Ika Radio Station for its first three years (1987 – 1991) and was a Māori negotiator for the Māori Broadcasting Treaty Claims.
Richard McIntosh is part of the Kaiārahi and Learning teams in Public Programmes (National Library) focussing on He Tohu and Treaty education. His interest in the ‘revolutionary’ potential for learners of our national language drove his determination to initiate and lead the public access project.
As Alexander Turnbull Library’s Oral Historian Māori in Outreach Services Tāina McGregor travels the country meeting with iwi to discuss their collections. Her role entails providing iwi with oral history workshops and invaluable support to record and preserve their tāonga. Tāina worked closely with Piripi and the Te Reo Irirangi o Te Ūpoko o Te Ika Trust to bring the archive into the ATL Collection.

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.
Torrential rain … View moreWhat do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.
Torrential rain and a flooded bridge keep them stranded for three days. What they get up to, to help pass the time, raises a few eyebrows and will have you laughing, tearing up and applauding enthusiastically as they bare all.
Of course, it’s not just souls that are exposed, there’s a little nudity, a cracking thunderstorm, explosions, screaming bloody murder, ghostly stories, a birthday celebration, a séance, a drunken party, confessions, meltdowns and revelations that will keep you and your friends entertained throughout.
Perfectly timed for your own social group’s ascent into summer, don’t miss this hilarious play when it comes to a town near you in November.

Charges for coupon parking and permits will also be increased. A charge of $2:50 per hour will be applied in all areas that currently have a weekday rate of $3:00 or more.
Daily public parking coupons will now cost $7:50, an increase of a dollar, with an increase of $15 from the current $120:00 for monthly coupons, and a range of increases for trade coupons. A 12-month resident parking permit will increase from $115:00 to $126:50, and there are also increases for exemption, guesthouse and loading permits. A full-day weekend central city trade coupon will be introduced at a rate of $22:50.
The decision aims to encourage higher turnover of parking spaces on weekends, allowing more people to access the city, and keeping rates affordable. It will transfer the cost of maintaining city centre amenities from local businesses currently paying the Downtown Levy to users of parking spaces.
