Behind the Story: A year of My Life in TV

Spinoff staff writer Tara Ward has loved and examined local TV for
longer than any other Spinoff writer. As the longest consistent
contributor to The Spinoff outside of its founder, Tara has long
been the go-to voice for local matters on screen. A master of the
power ranking format, Tara’s ability to both genuinely love and
critique New Zealand’s most iconic (and obscure) shows is unique
among journalists. More recently, she’s become the editor of pop
culture newsletter Rec Room (subscribe here) and interviewer for
The Spinoff’s weekend format My Life in TV. Tara joins Madeleine
Chapman to talk a year of My Life in TV, getting to know her
favourite screen talent, and what our local shows tell us about
ourselves as a nation. Click here to read about the best things
