Otautahi Christchurch

Post Budget Podcast

This year, Otautahi  Christchurch will host a post-budget podcast.  As speakers present at other post-budget events throughout the country, speakers in Christchurch will be recording their insights with 'Speak up Korerotia'  to be shared throughout our community, and up and down the country.

The podcast will be available to download on the night of the 26th.  Listeners will be able to hear the perspectives from:

• Helen Leahy of Te Pu tahitanga o Te Waipounamu, the Whanau  Ora Commissioning Agency for the South Island
• Paul Dalziel, the Deputy Director of the Agribusiness and Economics Research Unit at Lincoln University

We'll let you know when the podcast is available to download on the CPAG website.  We hope you'll have a listen and share with a friend.

If you’re not familiar with podcasts or just want to listen with others, a ‘listening event’ has been organised for 30-March, 12:15pm – 1:15pm at Community and Public Health ((310 Manchester Street). The ‘listening event’ will take place as a part of the Healthy Christchurch lunchtime seminar series.  Any volunteers interested in organising their own 'listening event' to share the recording, please contact chch@cpag.org.nz

Thanks to Sally Carlton and PlainsFM for working the CPAG in Christchurch to make this event possible.

What is a podcast?

A podcast is a mix of two words - 'iPod' and 'broadcast'.  A podcast is a 'broadcast' kind of like a radio show on a particular topic that's delivered or downloaded directly to its listeners.  

Why a podcast?

Each year, we host the post-budget breakfast, there or people who can't make it-- or people who attend and tell us they wish they could have brought a friend or colleague.  The podcast this year is an experiment to see if more people will be able to access these important perspectives in a portable digital format.

The 'Speak up Korerotia'  podcast is a radio show centred on human rights issues.  In our busy modern lives it is rare to have an uninterrupted hour where you can discuss powerful and important experiences and opinions, and 'Speak up Korerotia' provides this platform to express and share opinions about those inherently important topics.
