One day, two years ago, the Herald entertainment team was sitting around the office shooting the breeze, when a name came up: Anika Moa.
She's cool, we said. She's funny. We should see if she wants to write for us. So off we went to meet the lovely Miss Moa
at a cafe in Avondale to tell her about our great idea.
She was cool. And funny. But it turned out, she couldn't really write (her opinion, not ours).
What she really wanted, she told us, was to have her own TV show. And so, we came up with the idea of Face-to-Face with Anika Moa - a NZ Herald web series that was (in our minds, at least) one of the coolest things we've ever produced.
Now, Moa is taking the concept one step further, teaming up with the talented minds of Paul Casserly and Charlotte Purdy to create her very own TV show on Maori Television.
