Ko wai o koutou i whakamahara i te hōtaka o Mai Time i nga tau iwa tekau? He hōtaka ma ngā rangatahi e toro atu ana ki te ao Māori me te ao Pōpa. I tū a Mai Time i runga I tona ake mana ki te whakarauora i te reo i te taha o ngā reo irirangi māori me ngā hōtaka Māori pēnei I a Marae me Te Karere. Nā reira i ahu mai te ao kawe kōrero, ngā reo irirangi Māori me te ao pāpāho māori i hea? Ka ruku hōhonu tēnei Waka Huia ki aua ao e toru me ētahi kanohi rongonui kia kōrero mo te hirahiratanga o te ao pāpāho māori me te whakahau ki nga rangatahi, me pupuri tonu ratou ki te ao o ratou mā i pakanga mo te reo.

Who remembers Mai Time from the 1990s? An influential magazine show for Māori youth, exploring te ao Māori and pop culture. Mai Time had it’s own unique role to help revitalise the Māori language alongside iwi radio and Māori programs like Marae and Te Karere. So where did Māori broadcasting, Māori journalism and iwi radio originate from? This episode will examine all three with esteemed Māori broadcasters who remind us of the importance of the industry and explain why future generations should continue the legacy of those who fought for Te Reo Māori broadcasting.
