Nau mai hoki mai ki te terenga tuatoru o Whakamāori—where the world meets te reo Māori.

This season continues the kaupapa of normalising te reo Māori across all spaces—the serious, the silly, the everyday, and the unexpected. From pop culture to politics, waiata to whakataukī, Whakamāori shows that the language is everywhere.

Returning to lead the kaupapa are Chey Milne and Tākuta Anaha Hiini, joined each week by a rotating guest whose whakamāori skills, reo style, and whakaaro bring fresh energy to every episode. Together, they don't just translate—they unpack meaning, challenge assumptions, and highlight how te reo Māori can express the full range of human experience.

Whether you're fluent, learning, or just listening in, Whakamāori is your invitation to see the world through a Māori lens—one kupu at a time.
