Hayden joins us to talk how to Get It to Te Papa, the quest for underappreciated cultural kiwi artifacts he deems to be deserving of New Zealand’s national museum in Wellington. So what are these underrated artifacts? We're talking Big Fresh’s dancing fruit & vegetables, the infamous flying Waitangi Dildo, and Auckland’s winking-eyed Santa. Even 95bFM's very own News Director, Lillian, chimes in with analogies of said artifacts.
