  • サマリー

  • Kia Orana! The official greeting of the Cook Islands—meaning hello, but also may you live long. On the main island of Rarotonga (where a majority of the locals live) you'll find a lagoon nearly encircling the entire island that you can swim and snorkel in. Take an adventure up to the top of the island, through the cross island trek. And sample myriad of locally-fresh dishes from home grown foods and locally-caught fish. Purchase freshly-grown veggies and hand-crafted black pearls from the weekly markets. It is truly an island paradise.Though for all that the island has, the real jewel is in what doesn't have. There's no stoplights or parking meters. There's only two buses; one goes clockwise and the other anti-clockwise around the roughly 32km island circumference. There's no McDonalds, Starbucks or KFC (but if you do ask the locals, there is a late night fried chicken spot affectionally known as RFC). There's no over-the-water bungalows or no-high rises (nothing can be taller than a coconut tree). The wifi is about as fast as your holiday should be. Welcome to the Cook Islands Podcast. A show about what you will find, what you won't find, in the Cook Islands. Meitaki (thank you)!

  • My Aitutaki Family Journey of Emigration, Music & Returning Home to The Cook Islands: Paul Itaea Bob
    2024/06/08

    Today we chat to Paul Itaea Bob. A returning Cook Islander, his family decided to leave Aitutaki in the late 60's - emigrating to Auckland, New Zealand for approximately 15 years and then onto Sydney, Australia in the early 80's.

    "The connection of land to family and family to land". This gives us all an insight into Paul's podcast conversation today. "Why would you leave Paradise to move to Government state housing overseas?" Paul says.

    We talk together about Paul's life of growing up in the suburb of Miller, Liverpool, Sydney, Australia. A time when Cook Islanders and other Immigrants were collectively trying to find common ground in a new country.

    Paul speaks about how as a child he and his brothers used to sing in their bedroom ALL the time and thus their singing career began when they were teenagers.

    Paul is available in Rarotonga as an entertainer for private functions and weddings. R&B, Soul, Contemporary style musician / singer / recording artist. https://raropass.com/services/rarotonga/paul-bob-musician/

  • A Mental Health Conversation between Chantal and Becca
    2024/05/18

    In this episode we speak with Becca, she is a mental health professional from the United States of America. In June of 2023, she decided to resign from her position and traveled to New Zealand spending six months there, to evaluate her career and her future.
    "It got very tough", Becca says. She had worked for seven years with teenagers in high & middle school.

    We chat about the repercussions of early childhood trauma, isolation, the social development, anxiety and stress felt by all of us and especially by children.

    Now on her way home, Becca decided to include a couple of weeks holiday in Rarotonga and Aitutaki. I appreciate Becca speaking to us.

    Side Note: We have associations available to provide help for our people. CIFWA is one of them, Cook Islands Family Welfare Association, they are sponsored by IPPF, International Planned Parenthood Federation and also our Cook Islands Government. Te Marae Ora (TMO) our national health system also has counselling freely available.

  • How did I start Kia Orana Podcast & Raro Pass in Rarotonga, Cook Islands?
    2024/05/11

    True stories we can always remember! The narrative doesn't change because we are speaking truth. In September 2019, an unexpected girls trip to Aitutaki is how I started Kia Orana Podcast.

    While on holiday in Aitutaki, I found a book titled, "How I Fell In Love With an Island, Accidental Adventures", written by Haydn S Adams - (my now business partner). I got in contact with the author Haydn, a friendship was formed and before too long in May 2020 a podcast came out of our friendship.

    During lockdown I concentrated on the Podcast for two years, 2020-2021. Then in October 2022, Raro Pass also came about via this friendship with Haydn.

    Enjoy this episode and I really appreciate you all listening.
    Meitaki,
    Chantal
