Got a bit starstruck in the studio making this one. Bookenz juicy interviews, if like us you love the news, or Steve's crime views, or Phil's poetry muse! Sorry - not sorry.😊

Kia ora anō Bookenz friends! Another great Aotearoa non fic session today. Our failing health system, our awesome hiking trails, and the battle for a healthy relationship with food are the hot topics for today. With authors more than qualified on each subject - and awesome to chat to. Have a lovely Tuesday everyone. 😊😊 .media

Listen up Otautahi - for ways to keep midwinter blues at bay with Claudia from Scorpio Books. You could always curl-up with a great read, of course! Like Tracy Farr's "Wonderland". And if you need insight into how to be there for anyone you know who might be trapped in a cycle of family violence - check out Debbs Murray's memoir. Another eclectic mix on Bookenz!
