Dude. This is amazing. Thank you so much for making this podcast. I am a Kiwi living in Australia now and after listening to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast and It got me really Keen to learn more about my own country and it's origins. I did a search for "New Zealand" in my podcast app and after scrolling through a while came across yours. I liked how you went back to the splitting of Gondwanaland and the divergence of flora and fauna etc. Good shit man, I hope you make more. Ash
