Podcast #1: Sam Mahon

Sam Mahon is a respected New Zealand author, sculptor and freshwater activist. In this podcast we discuss Sam’s talents in both writing and sculpting, and why he dedicates most of time towards political activism such as his current sculpture of environment minister Nick Smith taking a metaphoric crap in our glass of drinking water. We hope you enjoy this conversation, and we’d love to hear your feedback!

If you would like to make any donations towards his current project estimated to be finished in August, the bank account details are as follows:

Please also comment below with what you think should be done for the Nick Smith sculpture, small testicles? Udders? Ken doll? Something else?

Wonderfully engaging podcast.
Loved every word laced with humour, wit & a fantastic sense of joy aimed at protecting our environment in an unconventional, yet profound way.
