Gidday to all our amazing and wonderful supporters; thanks for stopping by, and to people just joining us for the first time, we appreciate you checking us out. The podcast guest we have on is the king of hip-hop self-promotion; please join us in welcoming Whangarei Boys High alumni Andrew McKenzie!

We decided it was time to sit down with Andrew and have a good quality catch-up with him. He had last been on the podcast over 2 years ago, and it felt like the right time to bring him back on. He has such a great update on where he is at and has been making some big moves to re-establish local hip hop collective OBC. With 1 ep last year and a new one this year, he is definitely not slowing down his creative output

This is Producer Andrews's second time on the podcast, and boy, did he have some massive life updates! It's always great when we have former guests on, as we get to find out what they have been up to. Make sure you check out his podcast and our other many amazing and talented guests.

If this is your first time, thanks for stopping by and if you have been here before we appreciate you coming back and enjoying our little slice of the internet. Please join us in welcoming our last guest for the year, the wonderfully delightful and charming, Laura Worrall.

Laura describes herself as a figurative artist, but she is so much more than that. She was a great guest and had driven all the way to see us from Kaipara which was a true blessing. Charming, effervescent and genuinely funny, it was a real treat to have her on the podcast. Now, if we can also convince her partner to come on as well, that would be amazing, hint hint

Laura was such a fun and wicked person to have the pleasure of talking with. She makes things funny, and we share on some amazing laughs, which makes what we do so much easier and fun. Make sure you check out her podcast and so many other amazing guests!

Gidday to all our amazing and wonderful supporters, thanks for stopping by and to people just joining us for the first time, appreciate you checking us out. The podcast guest we have on is the wrestling king of self-promotion, please join us in welcoming former Whangarei boy Kurt Brown!

This podcast was definitely one of the most unique podcasts we have ever done as this blurs the line between character and genuine person or is it the same person with split personalities. Kurt shares his story with us from growing up in Auckland to moving to Whangarei and then back to Auckland to fulfil his dream of becoming a wrestler. Such an engaging person, he would constantly slip in and out of character (or did he) and we got to see the real man.

Kurt was such a pleasure to have on, and to see him effortlessly move from his #itskurtbrown persona to the genuine person was a real treat. If wrestling is something you even mildly enjoy, he is an upcoming talent to watch out for. Make sure you check out his podcast and our other many amazing and talented guests.

Welcome to the wild and crazy world of the Northland Artists Conversation. If this is your first time, thanks for stopping by and if you have been here before we appreciate you coming back and enjoying our little corner of the internet. Please join us in welcoming Keanu Clyde to the podcast.

This was such a wicked podcast for us. Keanu is kind of a local boy as his family live up here, and he does visit a lot so we think that counts. Keanu is teacher and wrestler; how those 2 go together is absolutely amazing. Keanu (who wrestles as Horus) has a rapid fan base who have given him such wonderful nicknames as Duke of Death and Deathmatch Daddy.

Keanu was such a cool guest, and he really shares his history into creativity and how that led him to discover wrestling and what he hopes for the future. Hearing how he talks about his students and fellow teachers interest in what he does is hilarious, so make sure you check the full podcast out. You will also find so many other amazing guests that we have had on.
