Takatāpui Talk Sun, 24 May 2026 02:05:10 -0400 https://www.buzzsprout.com/2550122 en-us © 2026 Takatāpui Talk yes 235f3272-5877-56d5-b74e-da7debd2af7a Donald Hollingsworh episodic true Takatāpui Talk is a living collection of stories — a weaving together of voices from our community, shared with honesty, care, and deep respect.

Each kōrero holds a life lived — through love, loss, identity, whānau, and resilience — offering insight into what it means to be takatāpui in Aotearoa, both then and now.

This series is not about explanation or justification. It is about presence. It is about truth. It is about us, speaking for ourselves.

Created within a space of trust and connection, these conversations are a taonga — for our people, for our whānau, and for those who seek to understand us more deeply.

Takatāpui Talk is a reminder that we are not new, we are not invisible — we have always been here.


These kōrero are about resilience, laughter, truth, and love.

Together we explore identity, whakapapa, grief, whānau, creativity and the journey home to Te Ao Māori. From memories of his father and childhood in the North, to the origins of his play ĀE WOMAN — inspired by the true story of his great grandmother and the confiscation of her whenua in Pipiwai in 1965 — this is an emotional, funny and beautifully honest kōrero about survival, storytelling and becoming who you were always meant to be.

These are our stories.
These are our voices.
