Neil Waka: Why I Left TV & the Israel Trip That Cost Me Friendships | Past The Name Ep. 11

You’ve heard him read the news. Now hear his story.
Neil Waka joins Shubz for Episode 11 of Past The Name — two hours of life behind the news desk, strong opinions and some bloody good laughs.
From growing up in military camps to finding his voice on radio and becoming a familiar face on New Zealand television, Neil takes us through the opportunities he chased, the boundaries he pushed and why he eventually walked away.
We get into working alongside broadcasting legends, the management decisions that frustrated him, and the moment he realised how much television had shaped his everyday life. Even getting a haircut took some adjusting.
Neil also opens up about his Israel trip, his interview with Moana, the backlash that followed and the close relationships he says it cost him.
Then there’s the childhood hurt, fatherhood, faith, trust and learning to question beliefs you once accepted without hesitation.
Some stories hit hard. Others have us losing it. And if you’ve wondered what Neil and I have been cooking up together, stick around.
What’s something Neil said that you agree with — or would challenge? Drop it in the comments.
