About The Author
Te Radar
Te Radar is one of New Zealand’s most recognised entertainers, with a string of awards including the country’s highest accolades for television, comedy and writing. Despite growing up on a farm he’s also (unofficially) New Zealand’s worst television gardener. He continues to immerse himself in rural New Zealand, MCing events such as Fieldays and Young Farmer of the Year. His live comedy shows celebrate his love for the quirkier side of New Zealand history, and his TV career has seen him filming everywhere from Timor to Timbuctoo.
Ruth Spencer has an MA in Theatre and Film Studies. She has a professional performing background in theatre, stand-up comedy and circus cabaret. She sometimes sings in a glam rock band. Now a humour writer and researcher for print, television and live comedy, Ruth’s written work has appeared in Metro, North & South, Woman, The New Zealand Herald, and Sunday Star-Times. She’s looking forward to publishing her debut novel, which she will definitely start writing soon.
