  • Kia Orana! The official greeting of the Cook Islands—meaning hello, but also may you live long. On the main island of Rarotonga (where a majority of the locals live) you'll find a lagoon nearly encircling the entire island that you can swim and snorkel in. Take an adventure up to the top of the island, through the cross island trek. And sample myriad of locally-fresh dishes from home grown foods and locally-caught fish. Purchase freshly-grown veggies and hand-crafted black pearls from the weekly markets. It is truly an island paradise.Though for all that the island has, the real jewel is in what doesn't have. There's no stoplights or parking meters. There's only two buses; one goes clockwise and the other anti-clockwise around the roughly 32km island circumference. There's no McDonalds, Starbucks or KFC (but if you do ask the locals, there is a late night fried chicken spot affectionally known as RFC). There's no over-the-water bungalows or no-high rises (nothing can be taller than a coconut tree). The wifi is about as fast as your holiday should be. Welcome to the Cook Islands Podcast. A show about what you will find, what you won't find, in the Cook Islands. Meitaki (thank you)!

  • When Paradise Is Home... And Home is Paradise... Enuamanu, Atiu, Ipukarea - Cook Islands: Thomas Tarurongo Wynne

    When Paradise Is Home... And Home is Paradise... Enuamanu, Atiu, Ipukarea - Cook Islands: Thomas Tarurongo Wynne
    2024/06/15

    Thomas Tarurongo Wynne has journeyed home for a bereavement and a land succession court meeting for their grandfather, Papa Teavae Tarurongo.

    Together we chat about his gratefulness feelings towards their Enere line.... who have been a'ikā, and looked after their Ngati Ingatu interests, land, responsibilities and Are Metua in Areora. Enuamanu has given them so much, alongside their Rarotongan bloodlines, such a wealth of identity culture and Ngati Ingatu - Atiu Warrior Spirit.

    "Land is so important to our identity, connection and capacity to self determine our food, our shelter, our security and to honour our ancestors."

    On a Serious Professional note: Thomas updates me about his current role working for, Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in State Care - Run by New Zealand, Government. It investigates matters of great importance and difficulty, engaged in fact-finding and preventing future recurrences. Which then recommends policy or legislative changes to prevent it happening again.

    Aere Ra, Farewell

  • My Aitutaki Family Journey of Emigration, Music & Returning Home to The Cook Islands: Paul Itaea Bob

    My Aitutaki Family Journey of Emigration, Music & Returning Home to The Cook Islands: Paul Itaea Bob
    2024/06/08

    Today we chat to Paul Itaea Bob. A returning Cook Islander, his family decided to leave Aitutaki in the late 60's - emigrating to Auckland, New Zealand for approximately 15 years and then onto Sydney, Australia in the early 80's.

    "The connection of land to family and family to land". This gives us all an insight into Paul's podcast conversation today. "Why would you leave Paradise to move to Government state housing overseas?" Paul says.

    We talk together about Paul's life of growing up in the suburb of Miller, Liverpool, Sydney, Australia. A time when Cook Islanders and other Immigrants were collectively trying to find common ground in a new country.

    Paul speaks about how as a child he and his brothers used to sing in their bedroom ALL the time and thus their singing career began when they were teenagers.

    Paul is available in Rarotonga as an entertainer for private functions and weddings. R&B, Soul, Contemporary style musician / singer / recording artist. https://raropass.com/services/rarotonga/paul-bob-musician/
