PAST THE NAME | EPISODE 10 | PAUL HENRY
You know the voice. You know the headlines. But how well do you really know Paul Henry?
For Episode 10 of Past The Name, I sat down with one of New Zealand’s most recognisable and outspoken broadcasters for a conversation that went well beyond politics, television and the controversies.
And what a conversation it was.
Paul takes us through his journey, from New Zealand to the United Kingdom and back again, sharing stories from his life, experiences that shaped him and moments he’s never spoken about publicly before.
We get into the state of our nation, what drove him to stand for ACT, and what he hopes to achieve by stepping into politics.
But this isn’t just a political interview.
There are stories, surprises, plenty of laughs and a few wines along the way. As the conversation unfolds, we get to see a side of Paul Henry that rarely makes the headlines.
No shouting matches. No manufactured drama. Just a fascinating conversation with a man who’s lived one hell of a life.
This is Paul Henry beyond the noise and the headlines.
Welcome to Episode 10 of Past The Name.
