Our guests on the show are Laitia Tamata from TAMATA's Consultancy, who is now a show regular. Maciu Bolaitamana from cChange also shares stories from a recent Media Field Trip where local journalists travelled to four villages in the Macuata province to hear what challenges we talk a lot of about, those being the challenges of communities who rely heavily on their qoliqoli for their sustenance and livelihood. We also have pre-recorded inserts of the Turaga ni Koro of Yaro Village on Kia Island sharing their frustrations about poaching and the destructive practices of night spear diving.
