Veteran journalist and documentary filmmaker Cameron Bennett is perhaps best known for his work as a foreign correspondent, covering conflicts around the world which cemented him as one of the country's most recognisable faces in current affairs.

In a career spanning more than 25 years at TVNZ, he went on to host Sunday before turning his hand to documentary filmmaking, with a specific focus on New Zealand history.

He's currently executive producer of Te Ao with Moana, a current affairs programme on Whakaata Māori, and works on RNZ's NZ Wars series, making history-focused documentaries alongside Vincent O'Malley and other prominent iwi historians.

He plays some favourite tracks.
