Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Henare te Ua is well known and loved by radio listeners throughout New Zealand. During his radio career, Henare te Ua has met many Maori and Pakeha people who helped to shape our nation. His pen pictures of many of them add new dimensions from his perspective. Descended from heartland Maori stock, he spent forty years as a respected and influential radio broadcaster. He writes about whanau, home life, upbringing, education and being able to store knowledge as essential ingredients that made him a unique person. This is a warm story, told in Henare's voice, something like having friendly chats with a favourite uncle Like any good story, there are highs and lows and Henare is no stranger to these - including a dramatic plane crash that was the start of his broadcasting career. It is definitely not an I remember when... story told in a crackly voice but has a vibrancy which easily blends the past with the present.
