The inaugural guest of Go on, Mate is Michael Turnbull aka Mikey is the 2021 president, a struggling Law student, and among other things an all-round good Kiwi. A Hamilton native but Wellington local, you are most likely to find him at the Hunter Lounge, in the VUWSA offices, or out on the streets getting stuck in with some form of protest. He is no stranger to the world, hosting Fresher 4-6 on SalientFM back in his first year at Uni. He identifies as a student advocate and has always had a strong interest in fighting for student issues, making sure that we get the fair go when it comes to our education, flatting situations or where we can go to drink when the halls kick us out at 10pm. When it comes to mental health, he has his own journey that has somewhat merged with his life in VUWSA, and some major projects that we have seen in the past few years have directly come from his hard work.

Hosted by Jack Walker & Sam Bell.

Produced by Francesca Georgia Pietkiewicz
