Candice Luke has recently joined our Cook Islands news team as a journalist. Candice asked to interview me, Chantal your host with an update for the print side of our national newspaper.... I replied how about we interview each other?

We chat about her journey through journalism school in New Zealand and then her decision to leave her home New Zealand and accept the Cook Islands News contract in Rarotonga. "How did I come to be here', Candice says. "I was chasing the sun" she replies.

Together we discuss 'Raro Pass' and my show 'Kia Orana Podcast'.

Below is the newspaper link to the article she wrote after this recording.

Thank you Candice, I appreciate you.
