Inside Jaunism: A series of 'audio postcard' style interviews with Urbantramper's manager

Thomas insists on having his face blurred.


A couple of months ago we wrote a post about how we were in the process of interviewing our manager Thomas Jaunism. Lake has finally got around to editing the 3 hour interview down to 10 minutes or so of usable audio.

The first installment of the interview is basically a discussion about the press release Urbantramper released a while back about recording under urgency. It seems the New Zealand Government have been using the urgency tactic to pass some more great legislation like allowing private prison management...

More audio with thomas to come.

Where we're from...

Ohh..a shot from our tour of this fair land.

We're from Aotearoa, New Zealand. Some people say it's paradise here. The reality is dark and getting darker. We have a government that has no regard for the environment and an economy that relies on industrial dairy. This pains me...
yours sincerly,
Urbantramper - trying to drink less milk, eat more vegies, give more shit to the government and drive less cars... since 2001. (before that, we just did doughnuts and smoked pot)

Here's the Guardian article that encited this riot.
