The Wire w/ Caeden: 19 December, 2024

95bFM: The Wire

On this week's Thursday Wire, we reflect on our favourite interviews from 2024 as we wrap up our reporting for the year.

In May, Wire Host Caeden spoke to Yale University student Andre Fa’aoso and University of Auckland student Layan Khalil about the pro-Palestine protests that swept across United States college campuses and then the world. The protests were part of the movement to divest from Israel due to their ongoing war on Gaza.

And in November, Tuesday Wire host Castor and Caeden went down to Te Whanganui-a-Tara to speak to Hīkoi Mō Te Tiriti protestors who were arriving at Parliament to protest against the Treaty Principles Bill.

As part of Caeden and Castor’s coverage, producer Sofia spoke to renowned Māori activist Tāme Iti in November about the hīkoi.

In April, Sofia spoke to Associate Professor at the University of Auckland Faculty of Law, Carrie Leonetti, about calls to criminalise stalking.

And in July, she spoke to the Research Director at the Disinformation Project, Dr Sanjana Hattotuwa, about the Employment Court’s judgement on Associate Professor Siouxsie Wiles’ case against the University of Auckland.
