This week’s guest is journalist Toleafoa John Campbell. It only makes sense that he’s the first Palagi on our podcast, because of his fierce advocacy over many years for Pasifika. We talk the 2009 Samoa tsunami, the phrase ‘skuxx’ and how he got his suafa matai. And Toleafoa whose own show ‘Campbell Live’ was axed, discusses this uncertain time for news in Aotearoa.
