Nau mai, hoki mai, ki te terenga tuatoru o Whakamāori!

We're kicking things off with an episode that dives into the world of sexual and reproductive health, as the team—Chey Milne, Tākuta Anaha Hiini, & Tamati Waaka—translate and unpack an interview with specialist Dr. Simon Snook, originally featured on Let's Talk About Ai.

It's a wide-ranging kōrero that touches on everything from contraception and vasectomies to sexual well-being and the role of holistic care—but the real focus for this episode is the reo. If you've ever wanted to grow your knowledge of kupu Māori related to the body, sex, and reproductive health, this is the perfect place to start.

The panel break down key terms, clarifies meanings, and has open, respectful discussions about how we talk about these things in te reo Māori—with accuracy, comfort, and care.
