Awata Interview With TahuFM

Sophia Clarke-Walker - November 11, 2022

Three of our very our pononga have started their own business, this year alone they have pitched their idea, started production and recently had an interview with TahuFM in order to kick-start their journey.

On Wednesday the 9th of November Arihia and I went into TahuFm after we recieved a message from Waipounamu Te Karu asking us to promote our Kamupene. Arihia and I were both very excited for this oppentunity and imidietly said yes! 

When we arrived we were offred a drink of water and then began our interview. We were provided with questions prior so we could think about what we were going to say however, Pou said it sounded more natural if we put away our notes and just freestyled. Both Arihia and I were very nervours for this but agreed and did a great job.

Once we had finished we decided to give a pair of our earrings to Pou to say thank you and in return we were both given TahuFM merch! He tino waimarie māua!
