The New Wave

Host: Cate Prestidge
Category: Ethnic Voices
Language:

A podcast about arrival, belonging, and finding home in Hamilton Kirikiriroa. Each episode puts the mic in the hands of one migrant, sharing real stories of movement, culture, identity, and the moments that shape a life in a new place. From newcomers who’ve been here just five years to long-time locals of three decades, these are voices that reflect the city as it truly is - diverse, evolving, and deeply human. Developed by Cate Prestidge in collaboration with Paul Nelson from the School of Media Arts at Wintec, The New Wave is a digital storytelling project and growing oral history for the city. With over 170 ethnicities represented in Hamilton, this podcast captures the sounds, stories and experiences that make Kirikiriroa home, one voice at a time.
