In this episode, Robbie explores the colonisation of New Zealand. In the 1700s, Captain Cook came to NZ on a 'scientific' expedition. After Cook's notes about how beautiful this new land was reached his home, a steady flow of British settlers embarked for NZ. It was only a matter of time before word spready of Aotearoa's many resources, including seals, whales, and gold, and settlers from all over the world flocked to get a share.

The Citizen's Handbook is a 10-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 and 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 onto the actions of people, and by highlighting the power of human action in creating the present, demonstrates your actions can have a powerful impact on the future.
It’s also really funny.
