Community Access Media Alliance is the national body for the 12 independently-owned Community Access Media stations across Aotearoa. Our vision is for Aotearoa to have a vibrant, diverse, innovative, and sustainable Community Access Media sector valued for its democratic, community, and cultural uniqueness.
Wanting to be a broadcaster, radio host, content-creator, programme-maker, show-maker, or podcaster? Our 12 stations can help you make your own media. On-air or online, radio is a simple and inexpensive way to talk to your community-of-interest in any language.
Whether you’re a government entity, NGO, non-profit, company, or organisation, we can help you tailor your messages to speak directly and authentically to your target audience – in their language.
Now more than ever, local voices need to be heard. We’re building a more inclusive media landscape — one where everyone has access to create, participate, and thrive. But we can’t do it without you.

The first major gold rush in New Zealand began in: Gabriel’s Gully, Otago – May 1861. However, many African decent men had transferred their skills from whaling to the goldrush.

If conflicts are a fact of life, left unmanaged, they can be costly. And not just in financial terms. Yet, “when handled constructively, conflict is a normal and useful part of life.” Today, Wayne Marriott speaks of his work in conflict resolution and management, mediation and more – in short, peace building. In this work, resolving conflicts must go beyond surface problems to the heart of an issue; to relationships, and to recognise that healing is done 'with' people, not 'to' or 'for' them.

Welcome to the very first episode of The Power Within the Storm. I’m Wayne Forrest, and I’m so grateful you’ve chosen to join me here. I grew up in rural Hawke’s Bay, where I worked on farm, became a shearer, and lived for rugby. But in 1995, a tackle on the rugby field changed my life in an instant. I was left a C4–5 tetraplegic, and suddenly the life I knew was gone. From that moment, I faced storms I could never have imagined - physical, emotional, and spiritual. Yet over time, I learned something powerful: storms don’t just break us… they can shape us. They can bring out strength, resilience, and clarity we never knew we had. From a wheelchair, I went back to farming. Later, I became an international speaker, a certified coach, a TEDx presenter, and the author of The Inner Warrior – The Power Within. But more than any of those titles, I’m just someone who has lived through storms and found ways to turn pain into power. That’s what I want to share with you here. This podcast is about real stories, practical tools, and honest conversations that remind us: no storm lasts forever, and within every storm lies the opportunity to discover who we truly are. I’m here because I believe we all have an Inner Warrior - and sometimes it just takes a storm to awaken it. In this podcast, I’ll share both my journey and some of the lessons I’ve learned, as well as tools and stories from others who’ve faced storms of their own. My hope is that you’ll walk away from each episode feeling not only inspired, but equipped to navigate whatever life throws at you. Let’s begin this journey together. Welcome to The Power Within the Storm.
