Kanoa Lloyd Opens Up about Stress of TV Presenting, Controversies, Backlash & The Future of TV News

Kanoa Lloyd is one of New Zealand’s top broadcasters and became a household name from co-hosting the Project on primetime TV for seven years.She first made her name in children’s TV, before working on radio at Mai FM and was also a weather presenter for Newshub. In this episode we talk about her path from Squirt and Sticky TV to Three News, integrating Te Reo Māori into the weather and all the hate that came along with it, why she quit Mai FM, the blowup of the Project and the stress and burnout that accompanied it, her best and worst moments on live TV, the future of media, parenthood, what she's doing now – and all the best stories in between. This was such a fun chat. Kanoa is warm, personable and authentic and there were a ton of laughs in this one mixed in with some really thoughtful periods of introspection. You'll love this one.
