2025 Pukapuka Talks Podcasts are live📚

12 January 2026 – Once again, most of our 2025 Pukapuka Talks, which were recorded live during the 2025 Nelson Arts Festival, will be released as podcasts on many of the major podcast platforms including Spotify, Apple Podcasts and iHeart Radio. The first podcast in the 2025 series, ‘Secret Art Powers’, featuring Jo Randerson in conversation with Meg Williams, was released just before Christmas. Throughout the 2025-2026 summer, we will be releasing a new Pukapuka Talks podcast episode every week.

Our 2025 Pukapuka Talks were once again presented by our Moa Partners Go Media and if you are keen to further connect with the conversations captured in the podcasts, remember you can find all our authors’ pukapuka at our festival bookstore Paper Plus Nelson.

Thanks to the support of Copyright Licensing New Zealand, through their 2024 Cultural Fund, we have also been able to make the last nine years of podcasts available on our website. You can find them in our main menu under ‘Participate’ > ‘Podcasts’.
