Jehan Casinader - Why NZ is experiencing an ‘identity crisis’ on the world stage

Jehan Casinader is one of the most articulate and thought-provoking guests in the history of the podcast.

These days, he's one of New Zealand’s most sought-after key-note speakers after working in primetime TV for more than a decade across roles with Sunday., Seven Sharp, Close Up and Breakfast and was named “Broadcast Reporter of the Year” in 2020.  

We cover so much ground in this episode, including topics like:

• Why it’s so hard to talk about men’s issues

• The collapse of NZ’s media industry

• Why NZ is experiencing an ‘identity crisis’ on the world stage

• What we get wrong in discussions around mental health

His message that many Kiwis think their brains are broken, but in fact, it’s our stories that are broken – feels very timely right now.

You’re going to love this one, Jehan is a weapon!

Biggest Surprise: Jehan was suicidal when he won the award for NZ broadcaster of the year in 2020.

Best Insight: Jehan’s take on New Zealand’s identity crisis based on his observations from living in London and thoughts on the current media landscape

Best Laugh: Jehan’s imitation of the classic Paul Holmes sign off
