Captain de Surville has devised a plan to sail to New Zealand, last found by Tasman 127 years ago, to save his dying crew. However, for the first time since the voyage began he wanted a second opinion from Labé. Before we talk about what Labé thought about this plan, we need jump back to the meeting in Chandernagore in January 1769 to explain what they were even dying for.

The 1769 expedition of the St Jean Baptiste gets underway! We talk about all the problems that came up pretty much immediately as they sailed down the eastern coast of India and we discuss how much the voyage cost. Which I know sounds boring but it's actually pretty interesting cause it cost waaaaay too much, but why?

To end our chapter on the pre-European period of Aotearoa's history I asked for your questions and you delivered! You guys sent in so many/I spoke too much that I had to split the episode into 5 parts.
I messed up the audio a little bit in these episodes and it was gonna be a huge hassle to fix it so I've decided to leave it as is. It's not awful, just not as good as I'd like so apologies for that!
Question covered in the episode are:
Can you talk in summary about the sources which you have drawn on for the pre-European information and what they have used as original sources: how reliable, how unreliable, how many sources, do they conflict in material areas, is there much ongoing research into this area, are there controversies going on in what is considered "to-date accepted history" please?

Questions covered in the episode are:
What's one thing that's been lost to history that you'd love to rediscover?
What has been the most surprising thing you've learned from doing the pod?
Where do you see the future of NZ history going?
What's one question you where hoping to get asked so you'd have an excuse to talk about it?
Where did your love of history come from, and why in particular the Maori aspect?
What influences and / or mentors have you had on your chosen historical studies?
I listen to a few narrative history podcasts. Most focus on a specific society, civilization, culture, or nation (e.g. Rome or China) but yours seems to be about the land of Aotearoa/New Zealand itself, with both the Maori and later the European colonists being just one part of that history. Was that a deliberate choice on your part? Is it a reflection of your background as a conservationist? Do you think this focus will change as the narrative moves into the colonial period.

Based on the CollegeHumour game Um, Actually? (which I have renamed Bulls**t!), I give the players a NZ history related statement that has something false about and they have to guess what it is.

Today we talk about what has probably had the biggest impact on Aotearoa's drinking culture, the (sometimes) legally enforced six o'clock closing time for pubs that went from 1918-1967. However you may know it by its more colloquial name that came about due to the rush of drinking it encouraged for those who finished work at 5pm, the six o'clock swill.

The last couple of decades for Speight's had been rough. War, death and tragedy have been common themes. Now, Speight's looked to the future to try and recover from these devestating setbacks and a lot of that was to do with some major developments in the science of brewing beer.
