The AFAKASI SCOOP

The AFAKASI SCOOP

By Afakasi Scoop

Don't know about you but for us three working Mummas by the end of the week (sometimes not even mid week) we just need to WINE-DOWN …. oh I mean WIND-DOWN! What better than to combine both! We pour ourselves a glass of wine or three and talanoa, vent, discuss and deliberate about current haps both personal and public.
Here is our Samoan/Euro flavoured podcast recipe ….

Ingredients: Friends, Wine, Issues, Open mind

Recipe: Mix all ingredients together with no script, no measurements and no limits

Result: Your guess is as good as mine but we always tend to feel better at the end of it.

The WesWes Networks Ria, Tee, and Cyn are back with a new episode format. Ria and Cyn tell of their short holiday in Fiji while Tee tells of her business trip to the Bilingual Conference in Dunedin.

The girls discuss the topic of diversity when Ria talks about her experience with her elderly aunty at Auckland Airport and the difference in service between Islanders and Palagi. All this and a lot more on this provocative and funny episode of the girls of AFAKASI SCOOP.
