The performance is inspired by the humour and music of Prince Tui Teka, Billy T James and their more modern contemporaries, The Modern Maori Quarter.

Rob Mokaraka co-wrote the play and he talks to Jesse about the play and his past struggles with mental health.

Her book is called Crash Override: How Gamergate (Nearly) Destroyed My Life, and How We Can Win the Fight Against Online Hate
