The Taringa crew talk about some of the tikanga of our tūpuna regarding ariki in light of the recent coronation ceremony of King Charles III.

Te reo whakawhāiti. When learning te reo Māori it's easy to get stuck in the black and white of syntax, grammar structures and so forth. However, there are also alot of grey areas which can't be measured by a flow chart. This grey part is tikanga and can only be learned or understood by experience. Whakakāngia tā tātou tīkera, ā, kia whakaoko mai ki tā tātou wānanga mō te rā.

Tōia tapotu te waka kōrero ki te wai. Mā wai e tō? Mā Taringa e tō, mā Hoturoa e tō! Hoturoa Barclay-Kerr navigates us through some of his experiences as a Tohunga Whakatere Waka. From these experiences he offers some enlightening insights into our perception of waka, our maritime history and many more.

Lots of mini wānanga within one big wānanga. Mauri ora!

MC Grammar brings the fire with his grammatical insights into the wonderous and layered language that is te reo Māori. We recap on appositions, take a look at some known words for kaumātua and talk about the way our language has evolved to reflect the way we see ourselves. Kia mau!

As the dust settles and te ao Māori reflects on what was one of the most memorable Matatini, the Taringa trio also reflect and look at some tikanga pertaining to te ao haka. We also wānanga about the future of haka, what competitive haka could like and how we may get there.

Ngā kupu o te haka. Paraone and Te Puaheiri look through He Tohu Whenua Rangatira - A judges compendium of terms used to describe aspects of haka, discussing a selection of kupu from it's glossary. Not only are these kupu for haka but also for our daily use. A challenge is issued to all kapa and non-participating to use these kupu kei ngaro.

He aha te reo o te kaiwhakawā o te kaiwhiriwhiri rānei? What is the language of the judge? What are some of the remarks they make when marking certain items of the kapahaka bracket? Kahurangi also explains the techinicality of the poi.

As we build up to Te Matatini 2023 we invite one of the giants of te ao kapa haka; Trevor Maxwell to join us. We hear untold stories of what happened in 1983 and how "2 weeks in Manutuke" propelled many kapa into existence. We also hear about the risks Trevor and his kapa took to push the boundaries of kapahaka.

In this episode, JJ Carberry joins us for a wānanga about the provisions of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and we kōrero about what we can do as a part of the resistance.

Ka whakapāho atu anō a Taringa i ngā tari o Kauaka i Kahungunu ki te taha o Tākuta Tātere Mcleod. Ka wānangahia e tātou ngā hua i puta mai i tana rangahau mō te mita, te rangi otirā mō te tūreo o ngā iwi. Ka puta hoki ētahi whakaaro hei wero i ngā whakaaro o ngā iwi. Whakarongo mai.

Erica is leaving the Taringa crew for a while, so this episode is all about her time on Taringa. We also welcome our new host - Kahurangi Maxwell nō Te Arawa. We have some fun while acknowledging Erica's contribution to Taringa; looking back at her first episodes, how the term "whana way of saying something" was coined, and also firing questions at her - te patapātai ki a Erica.

Delving deep back into the archives, Paraone and Snowy listen to some excerpts from the 1988 Aotearoa Traditional Māori Performing Arts Festival (now called Matatini) which was held in Whāngarei.

ko te whakahokinga mai o ngā kōiwi tupuna ehara i te hanga. The repatriation of ancestors' bones is by no means an insignificant feat. We talk with Paraone about his experience travelling to Vienna to bring back our tūpuna. We discuss the preparation and the tikanga that was involved in carrying out such a task. Kia āta whakarongo e hoa mā ehara tēnei kaupapa i te hanga.

MC Grammar is back again, with another deep-dive into the intricacies of our reo. This time, the crew take a look at the various ways to say "and".
