This episode is a biggy.
There is no way we could condense what we have just experienced into a thirty-minute show.
Today you will hear us talk about how we met a Māori couple online – on Youtube. And how, within ten days of that initial introduction, these people had travelled ten hours across the country and were sitting at our table sharing dinner with us. Four strangers. Two cultures. One beautiful connection.
I know that you are going to love this episode.
Hello and welcome back!
This is episode three of our six-part behind-the-scenes podcast series where we go deeper into our family life and share some things that we think will interest you and help in some aspect of your own life.
In this podcast, Brian and I talk openly about:
- How it felt to be contacted by Mahuta who described himself as a ‘ new Māori listener’ and the way that we both behaved.
- The fear of looking ignorant and stupid and facing those fears head-on.
- Human kindness, openness, connection and trust.

Have you listened to our other Behind The Scenes Episodes?
Episode 1; Meeting our teenage daughter, Tessa
Episode 2: Our boy, Sonny at 20. Homeschooled. No college education. Three (very different) careers.
You should have just gone with around the table chat and eating.
Next time!
These behind the scenes are very enjoyable but this one was especially insightful. I have seen the video but having this back story makes me want to see it again with a new perspective.
I have enjoyed all of your podcast and video. Keep up the good work.

Thanks so much, Dan. we really appreciate you taking the time to not only listen to the BTS podcasts but to let us know your thoughts.
What a journey this one was… I am glad that you got to watch the video before we took it off Youtube. It was a wonderful experience for all of us and one that we will never forget. Sadly, there were some family issues regarding the video and we were asked to take it down. Still, no matter. We made some wonderful friends and that was all that mattered. Thanks again for your support Dan,we are thinking of doing a couple more BTS podcasts in the future if this is what people enjoy 🙂

I love you guys even more after listening to this Podcast. So honest and I could hear the sincerity of the experience and how it affected you both in such a positive way. It was a win/win for humanity for sure. “We are One” and it’s time we treat each other as equals and “treat others as we hope to be treated”. The golden rule, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing. <3
Thank you for this lovely comment Sherree, we are so glad that you liked the podcast. All love, Liz and Brian xx
