9:15 Whakataukī of the Week with Peter Keegan
Every Monday on Nights, to set the tone for the week ahead, we have a guest on to share a whakataukī - a Māori proverb - that resonates with them.

Peter is an advocate for the use of te reo Māori for non-Māori topics, and this year self-published a book, Ko te Torotoro i te Whenua o Īnia, which explores his travels to India over the past 30 years.
