In this 1 hour and 45 minute episode, Cam Slater sits down with Tameem Barakat, founder of the Centrist, for a wide-ranging and candid conversation.
The episode opens with the usual humidor check – this week featuring the La Ora Family Creed Fuerte Sol Toro from Canteros.nz – before Tameem shares his personal story. Born and raised in Vancouver to an Egyptian Muslim father and Italian-Jewish mother, Tameem recounts his early political awakening, his decision to focus on political songwriting from a young age and how he eventually made the move to New Zealand during Covid.
