The Real Pod assembles to dissect the week in New Zealand pop culture and real life, with special thanks to Nando’s.

This week on The Real Pod, we are finally reunited… kind of. With Duncan coming and going from the studio as he pleases, we are momentarily joined by Hayden Donnell, host of the Lightbox exclusive docuseries Get It to Te Papa, to talk about unearthing the forgotten dorky treasures of New Zealand culture.

With Duncan subbing back in for our typical reality TV recappery, we tackle a confusing week on Married at First Sight NZ, the extraordinary premiere of The Great Kiwi Bake Off, and the redemption of Gogglebox NZ. There’s also huge news in both Max Key Corner and Colin’s Cranny that you simply won’t want to miss. It’s The Real Pod, and it’s really real.
