This is a good podcast series by RNZ covering New Zealand biggest disaster by death toll. A chilling piece of history much forgotten about in the public consciousness and a story that deserves to be told. Despite the tragedy of this event, no memorial has been erected to this day nearly 45 years after the incident.

The series goes into the event itself, the people effected and the political fallout afterwards. This is also where the famous phrase "an orchestrated litany of lies" comes from, it was said as the result of the Royal Commission's inquiry into the events and the role the governments played.

Well worth a listen to anyone who enjoys history or those looking for another podcast.
