Ali Mau: No Words For This
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today’s episode was recorded at a special event at The Royal Hotel in Featherston in November 2025, where journalist and author Ali Mau was in conversation with fellow journalist Melody Thomas.
It was a fascinating discussion that was equal parts provocative, honest, and amusing. Ali’s memoir, No Words for This, is powerful, raw and beautifully written.
Many thanks to our partners Hedley’s Books & Harper Collins Publishers.
