Paul has brought together 6 ordinary Kiwis to see how much attention they're paying to this year’s campaigns, how well messages are hitting and how much influence the media has on their voting decisions - it's the election through the eyes of the voter, not the media. In Hamilton West there's Art - a writer who feels electioned out and disconnected from local politicians. In Te Tai Tonga, Scout is chairperson of a Kohanga Reo who is concerned about the cost of living. In Dunedin, student Sam has serious concerns about the proliferation of disinformation pushers in democracy. In New Lynn, we have the One Up Podcast host Sarah, who knows she needs to connect more to politics but still feels alienated by it. Back in Hamilton West we have Kelli, a local access media personality who knows local body politics but general elections she's out of the loop of. and in Hamilton East we have Dan, who will have a new MP no matter what after both incumbents decided to retire this election.

When the Covid pandemic hit our shores, the Police hired marketing company Topham Guerin as communications experts to get out safety messages. Their work in political memes continues with the National Party this election, but their methods have raised concerns around copyright, the ethical use of AI and the appropriation of content. But every Party is jumping on the meme bandwagon as a way to communicate - so will it really have any effect on voters? Welcome to the Public Gallery - a new limited podcast series from Paul... The Other One in the lead up to the 2023 General Election in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Welcome to the Public Gallery - a new limited podcast series from Paul... The Other One in the lead up to the 2023 General Election in Aotearoa New Zealand. Every election the Criminal Justice System is touted as a major issue - after all everyone in the country has had some connection to it, and almost everyone agrees it doesn’t work. But can it? In this week’s Public Gallery, we hear about the victims who fall through the cracks, wrongful imprisonment and lack of support services for those leaving prison and ask, is there really a way to fix the Criminal Justice System?

Welcome to the Public Gallery - a new limited podcast series from Paul... The Other One in the lead up to the 2023 General Election in Aotearoa New Zealand. Lobby groups and Lobbyists in Aotearoa are completely unregulated - yet many can walk into Parliament and dictate policy and public opinion. But is there such a thing as a good lobbyist? What actually defines a lobby group and should we be concerned about the power they seem to wield?

Welcome to the Public Gallery - a new limited podcast series from Paul... The Other One in the lead up to the 2023 General Election in Aotearoa New Zealand. Bias is one of the most powerful factors when it comes to how we vote - both on a personal level but also the bias of the media we consume. In this week’s episode, Paul is joined by Gallery Member Sam, Scout and Art as they look at their own biases, and how much impact bias has on the way we see the world.
