Māori Wardens have a long and proud history in Aotearoa providing advice, support and aroha to the communities they don't just serve - but help to build.
Documented in a new podcast - Hi Viz Manaaki: Māori Wardens - hosted by Murdoch Ngahau and Dr Amber Hammill, their story is a particularly personal one for Murdoch.
A chance meeting with Kirikiriroa Māori Warden, Joyce Williams as an 11-year-old, changed his life.
Murdoch and Amber who also co-wrote and produced the series, talk to Mihi about how a chat at a community radio station became a six-part series.
