This Way Up archive: The People

With This Way Up's last show on Saturday 7 July, presenter Simon Morton and longtime producer Richard Scott have trawled through the archives of 600 shows recorded over the past (nearly) 13 years. This week, the people and the characters they've met along the way; from scambaiters, to roadkill counters, to mountain man Derek who's made cleaning up other people's rubbish his life's work. One of the most enjoyable parts of the job has been getting out and about and meeting you, the people with passions, hobbies, collections and stories. Thanks for sharing them! Next week some highlights of all the DIY stuff we've done along the way...the sourdough, the bees, and of course those chickens! And from Saturday 14 July, This Way Up will be replaced by The Podcast Hour, a new show produced and presented by Richard Scott that highlights the best in audio storytelling from New Zealand and around the world.
