Podcasts by The Policy Fix
Welcome to The Policy Fix, a podcast by The Policy Observatory, AUT. Our podcasts are crisp 15-20 minute interviews with some of Aotearoa New Zealand's top thinkers on the big issues we face as a society and what we can do to address them.
The interviews centre around three guiding questions:
• What’s the policy problem your work seeks to address?
• Why should the public care about this?
• What policy directions do you recommend?
