Older generations love to say young people don’t care about the big issues, but that’s the opposite of true. Janaye Henry hosts 2 Cents 2 Much, a chat show for those who don’t listen to talkback or sit down for the 6pm news every night. Coming Tuesday June 20.

For as long as any of us can remember, older generations have blamed young people for not caring about “the issues of today”. But maybe it’s just that the issues are being discussed differently. 2 Cents 2 Much is a show about the meaty topics in Aotearoa for those who don’t tune into talkback radio or sit down and watch the 6pm news bulletin every night.

From the cost of living crisis to the monarchy, vaping to the revitalisation of te reo Māori, comedian Janaye Henry hosts a bite-sized chat show for young people in Aotearoa today.

2 Cents 2 Much is made with the support of NZ On Air.
