Today's guest is a rural celebrity, with a following across the world. Philippa Cameron a.k.a @WhatsForSmoko is an online content creator based on a farm in the Waitaki Valley of the South Island who shares simple recipes for busy families everywhere. 

I felt validated by this conversation, having moved rurally just a few years ago. Pip shares her own perspective in a down to earth and authentic way and brings up a number of things that I recognise in my community. We talk about the misconceptions that occur between rural and urban communities in New Zealand, and how the world would be a better place if people really tried to understand each other instead of jumping to conclusions.
