Dr Ranganui Walker on Talk Talk
Written by
Famous and not-so-famous New Zealanders talking, not about what it is that makes them famous, but what it is that makes them tick – that’s the trick with Talk Talk, a glamorous-looking interview series presented by Finlay Macdonald.
With one key guest on each half-hour show, Talk Talk will go in deep, interviewing the person in the answer chair for almost 20 minutes before ending the show with a performance from a New Zealand group or musician chosen by Talk Talk's feature guest.
This week on Talk Talk, presenter Finlay Macdonald talks to New Zealand writer and academic Ranginui Walker. Dr Walker's writing is an invaluable source of information on Maori literature, as well as many other topics. Then, a performance by Dr Walker's band of choice, AK Barok, a group of dedicated players of baroque instruments.
