Neighbourhood Stories

Neighbourhood Stories is an exciting new podcast project led by Anju Desai, a dedicated community teacher, event presenter, and guest speaker with over 20 years of experience. This series aims to shine a light on the extraordinary contributions of East Auckland’s everyday heroes, volunteers, educators, business owners, and others who are making a positive impact in their community.

Through authentic, heartfelt interviews, Neighbourhood Stories invites listeners to connect with the journeys of these local personalities. Guests will share their experiences, the challenges they’ve overcome, and their insights on building a stronger, more inclusive community. The podcast’s mission is to celebrate social responsibility and resilience.

With a focus on fostering connections across diverse backgrounds, Neighbourhood Stories will bring East Auckland to life, encouraging listeners to engage with and contribute to their community.
