Pod Defend New Zealand

This months guest is 2021 New Zealander of the Year, Siouxsie Wiles.

Siouxsie is a microbiologist and science communicator. She became a household name in 2020, recognisable as the "pink-haired lady" who communicated about Covid-19 to New Zealand.

She was awarded New Zealander of the Year for her leadership through the pandemic.

We spoke to Siouxsie about her work, her views on the vaccine, and dealing with misinformation.
