New Zealand Society of Authors Oral History Podcast

​The NZSA Oral History Podcasts, use author oral histories that NZSA began recording in the 1990’s.

Hosted by Karyn Hay, the series will include interviews from the late 1990’s with writers such as Gordon McLauchlan, Lauris Edmond and Kevin Ireland, and more recent interviews with writers such as Tessa Duder, Witi Ihimaera and Joy Cowley.
