Huge news for Juggernaut fans (Juggheads), the much-anticipated second season is coming soon, plus a special live event.
Season one of Juggernaut traversed the highs, lows and idiosyncracies of the fourth Labour government. Drawing on exclusive interviews with key players of the era and an extensive trawl of the archive, Toby Manhire told the story of a seminal phase in New Zealand politics.
With those tempestuous 80s behind us, New Zealand had wanted a cup of tea and a lie down. Instead, the Juggernaut returned: reborn in the 1990s with fresh crisis, brutal cuts and a blizzard of reforms, including an historic new chapter in Crown-Māori relations, a Beehive coup and the gravity-defying advent of an entirely new electoral system.
In season two of Juggernaut, Manhire sits down with the power players of the fourth National government, from Jim Bolger to Jenny Shipley to Ruth Richardson. Coming soon to the Spinoff, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Join Toby Manhire and guests for a special one-night-only event to launch Juggernaut 2: The Story of the Fourth National Government.
Get an exclusive look at what is to come and discussion around the legacy of a whiplash chapter in political history at Juggernaut: Live! at the Embassy Theatre in Wellington.
