In this first episode of The Panthers podcast we talanoa with Dimitrius Schuster-Kolomatangi, who played the main character of Will Ilolahia and with Miki Magasiva who directed the first two episodes of The Panthers television series.

The episode focuses on the history of the Polynesian Panthers movement in Aotearoa, what it was like for Miki do be involved in directing such a raw and powerful show, and what it was like for Dimitrius acting in his first major role.
