Discover, Connect & Listen: Altbays Table Talk – Aotearoa / New Zealand Podcast

One of the Coolest Podcast in Aotearoa / New Zealand

Welcome to the vibrant world of ALTBAYS Table Talk, the New Zealand podcast sensation produced in Whitianga, Coromandel, since February 2022. As the podcast recently marked an impressive milestone of 235 live-streamed episodes on the ALTBAYS Facebook page and YouTube channel, it’s evident that this show is becoming a dynamic force in the digital realm, engaging audiences every Tuesday and Thursday at 7 pm. ALTBAYS is more than a podcast; it’s a living, breathing conversation where the audience is welcome to join by asking questions and commenting via their live chat.

Imagine a table where diverse voices gather, each with its own story and perspective. No scripts, no teleprompters – just genuine, raw dialogue. Some guests might challenge your views, and that’s exactly what the ALTBAYS crew believes in – the power of real korero, transcending differences to find common ground.

In a world full of echo chambers, ALTBAYS Table Talk is all about welcoming different opinions. It’s like taking a step towards harmony in our society by understanding diverse perspectives. When we listen to all kinds of voices, it’s not just about challenging what we think; it’s about being more empathetic and making our communities more colourful and connected.

Building Connections: Guests Turned Co-Hosts

ALTBAYS Table Talk isn’t just about one-off conversations; it’s about building lasting connections. The podcast innovates by welcoming past guests back as co-hosts, ensuring that every episode brings a fresh perspective and a new layer to the ongoing narrative. It’s a unique approach that strengthens bonds and expands networks.

Some of the ALTBAYS Table Talk’s crew were not born in NZ, which brings a unique flavour to the podcast. Their genuine curiosity about Aotearoa’s history and culture allows them to contribute diverse perspectives, fostering a space where harmony, understanding, and healthy relationships can flourish within our communities.
