New Zealand civics is filled with the weird and wonderful, which leads us to the Citizen's Handbook podcast, a show which finds Robbie Nicol competing against a comedian in explaining New Zealand Civics, told in fact and fiction.
Series Classification: PG (Parental Guidance)
The Citizen's Handbook is a ten-part video and podcast comedy series and civics class for all New Zealanders, created by the award-winning team behind the popular satirical web show White Man Behind a Desk.
The series covers five topics: history, politics, law, economics, and international relations. In writing and producing the series, the creators (Robbie Nicol & Finnius Teppett) have teamed up with relevant experts and a writers' room built on a partnership between Māori and Pākehā to ensure that all information is culturally and historically accurate.
Using thorough research and sharp comedy, The Citizen's Handbook empowers its audience with the knowledge of how this country came to be, how it currently works, and how we can face the challenges that lie ahead.
The Citizen's Handbook puts the focus on the actions of people, and by highlighting the power of human action in creating the present, demonstrates that your actions can have a powerful impact on the future.
It's also really funny.
