Part 1 of a special collaboration episode with the Happy Hour History Podcast about a very interesting and not well known part of New Zealand history: Robert 'Bob' Semple.  This is all about his early life, his involvement in politics and the early labour movement in Aotearoa.  It's an absolute cracker! Warning: language that some may deem offensive used throughout.

We round out our discussion of Maori carving talking about motifs, with a focus on depictions of humans as well as talking about the carvers themselves. I also get excited about charcoal on rocks towards the end…
