White Silence

A Stuff/RNZ podcast about the Erebus Disaster and what happened next. From the plane crash that took 257 lives, through the "orchestrated litany of lies", to the way it changed NZ to this day.

Contains sensitive themes.

Written, produced and hosted by Katy Gosset and Michael Wright

A snowy volcano with the words "White Silence" appear in front of it, with the wreckage of an Air NZ plane wing strewn at the bottom third below the text.
