How Sideswipe mastered snackable content before TikTok

For 20 years, author Ana Samways has been a collector of New Zealand cultural curiosities. She’s been trawling through the online world for photos, stories and other trinkets that capture the weirdness of life in New Zealand - producing over 5000 editions of the beloved New Zealand Herald column, Sideswipe.

Today, in honour of the anniversary celebrations, Samways joins Damien to share how it all started, how it’s endured and what might come next.
