STATION XV (podcast)

Episode 184 — Christchurch, Colonialism, Commission, Coronation (16 April 2023)
https://station15.co.nz/2023/04/station-xv-episode-184-christchurch-colonialism-commission-coronation/

In this month's episode, a couple of controversies lead our lineup — an attempt to block the construction of a new cathedral in New Zealand and the repudiation of a 15th-century doctrine. Things don't get much less complicated as the panel discusses the resignation of a key child protection figure, but most people can get behind the new King and some furry friends, right? Listen to find out, as we welcome a new member of the panel, with Cameron joining James, Don and Anna on our Easter episode. Enjoy.
