Beyond the Archway

from Tales of History and Imagination · host Simone Whitlow

This week my (New Zealand) Government announced New Zealand schools would be teaching New Zealand History to all children. This IS actually quite an accomplishment - a lot of younger kids get little to no history at all, and those who take the subject as an elective option often don’t even touch on our own country.  It only seems fitting to do a New Zealand Tale this week. What can one say about New Zealand and the act of Pseudocide - faking one’s own death to start anew elsewhere? Quite a bit it turns out…      The blog post of the episode is here. Support the show on Patreon for just $2 a month and get access to exclusive content. I’m currently dropping a bonus tale a month, and will increase to one an episode when we meet our first target.    Please leave us a Like and Review. The best way you can help support the show is to share an episode with a friend - Creative works grow best by word of mouth. I post episodes fortnightly, Wednesdays. We’re on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.   Music, writing, narration, mixing all yours truly. For more information on Simone click here.
