NZ’s favourite politics podcast is back with a special live version for AWF26. And with the country six months from a national election that’s likely to go to the wire, they won’t be short of things to talk about.

Bringing their customary mix of insight, analysis and humour to our headline stage are Toby Manhire of The Spinoff, executive producer of Mata Reports Annabelle Lee-Mather (Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāti Māmoe) and former press secretary in the Key government Ben Thomas. Together they go beyond the Beehive’s doors to offer their predictions on who will take the top seat(s) and what the road to election day will hold for the country, and for those vying to lead it.
