Since launching as an independent TV-and-pop-culture website five years ago, The Spinoff website has changed the face of New Zealand media, nurturing the distinct voices of some of our most exciting young writers, and developing a distinctive business model to survive and thrive in a harsh landscape.
Now it's curated some of the very best writing and illustrations from the past half a decade for a new book, released today.
Site editor Toby Manhire joins Jesse to talk the website, the book, and past, present and future of The Spinoff.
