PINA COLADA TOWN

Released MONTHLY

In Pina Colada Town, we invite you to uncover areas of Wellington that are overlooked, forgotten, or underrated. The title of the podcast alludes to Rupert Holmes’ song about rekindling the romance of a listless marriage. Analogously, this podcast is a love letter to Wellington, reinvigorating those feelings and ideas that drew so many, including us, to the Capital.In the face of rising rents, decaying infrastructure, feuding councillors, and lacklustre university management, we want to shine a light on the best that Wellington has to offer: he tangata. We’re going to kōrero with people from a range of backgrounds. From activism and academia to theatre, music, and cuisine—we want to highlight pockets of excellence in Pōneke that are worth celebrating
