New Zealand Today

It's the final episode of series 1 of the New Zealand Today podcast! Guy and Karen return from their Te Reo specials and have instantly forgotten almost everything they learned. Karen is afraid of electric planes, tells us about the time her favourite cardigan was destroyed by a chimpanzee, and Guy is excited about visiting a sex maze! 

Some people have rightly pointed out that Guy and Karen's pronunciation of some New Zealand place names… specifically Māori ones… is pretty poor! Last week we tried the South Island, this week they try and work on their "North Island" or "Te Ika-a-Māui" place name pronunciation skills. Huge thanks to Josiah Komene (@josiahkomene on Tik Tok) from TahuFM for helping, that man has the patience of a saint.    

Some people have rightly pointed out that Guy and Karen's pronunciation of some New Zealand place names… specifically Māori ones… is pretty poor! In this episode, they try and improve a little bit by hearing the proper pronunciation, with the help of the legend Josiah Komene (@josiahkomene on Tik Tok) from TahuFM! Part one focuses on famous place names from the South Island.

Warning: This episode contains descriptions of domestic violence. Karen is in a cheeky mood - sharing the story about when her wedding was won in a radio promo. Plus Karen breaks up with Guy, Guy shares his desperate desire to be liked, and a New Zealand Ultra Marathon Running record is broken by a man driving in a car!  

The NZT Pod is back from holiday, and is coming in hot with the debut episode of "Judge Karen" proving to be surprisingly controversial. Then Guy and Karen attempt to give advice on how to get over an ex, leading to a touching story of Karen's true love.  

Guy remembers the time Karen saved his Crusaders story, and Karen tries to remember a funny video she saw on Facebook four years ago! Plus: Are New Zealand's lollies racist? And Karen gets a phone call during the show, and answers it!    The New Zealand Today podcast is taking a break for the holidays and will be back January 13, 2022.

Karen Hill tells the unbelievable story of when she stabbed a man who wouldn't leave her house.  Guy warms up the audience with a story about the Len Brown sex scandal but he will understand if you want to jump straight to Karen's story which starts at 14.30.

The New Zealand Today podcast is back for episode 3 - Guy watches Karen drink a seltzer-beer she says is going to save the dolphins, they debate what the most nutritious takeaways are, and they review one of Karen's favourite films: "Hotel for Dogs".

Karen Hill and Guy Williams return! Karen weighs in on the Israel–Palestine conflict, Guy tries to explain sexism, and the Dargaville Beauty Contest is cancelled. 

Welcome to the first episode of Guy Williams and Karen Hill's new show! Karen tells the story of the time she went to jail, valuable life advice for people wanting to date their friend, and a crazy encounter with a thieving gnome.
