PAST THE NAME | EPISODE 9: TAMA SINGH
Should women have the right to vote? Should women submit to a good man? Are Māori the most openly racist people in New Zealand? Tama Singh has some very strong opinions, and in this episode of Past The Name, he doesn't hold back.
From his upbringing in Ōpōtiki to his views on gender roles, relationships, race, COVID, politics and Israel, this is a conversation that will get people talking.
But there's a lot more to Tama than his controversial opinions. We dive into growing up in Ōpōtiki, the influence of his entrepreneurial father, becoming a Countdown supervisor at just 15 years old, his journey into business and investing, and his time as a dating coach with a massive billboard that turned heads.
In this episode, we cover: • Why Tama believes women shouldn't have the right to vote • His views on traditional gender roles and women submitting to good men • Why he believes Māori are the most openly racist people in NZ • Growing up in Ōpōtiki and his father's influence • Becoming a Countdown supervisor at just 15 • His dating coaching business and controversial billboard • COVID, government and political power • His views and claims about Israel's global influence • The experiences that shaped the man he is today
Whether you agree with Tama, disagree with him, or think he's completely wrong, this conversation gives you a chance to understand the thinking behind his beliefs.
This is Past The Name. We go beyond the headlines, opinions and public image to discover the person behind the name. Tama's views are his own and do not necessarily reflect those of the host or platform.

Poetik said “RIP Charlie Kirk” and copped a backlash he never saw coming. What people didn’t know was that he was already grieving his brother’s murder.
You’ve heard him read the news. Now hear his story.
