TARS Season 3
The first of its kind, an Asian show on commercial radio in Aotearoa New Zealand, funded by New Zealand On Air.
This is an irreverent show that is a platform to bring into mainstream discourse the stories of Asians in New Zealand, Asian opinion on all things that matter and an attempt to break patriarchal, exotic stereotypes.
It is a show with attitude; a show that is inclusive and a show in which nothing is taboo or sacred. This is Season3 (2010).
