Calling Home: Tai Wynyard in Shanghai

From Sunday Morning, 8:30 am on 21 May 2023

Usually on Calling Home we talk to kiwis who've been living overseas for quite a while. We thought we'd change tack this week and get some first impressions of a radically different place to live. 

Basketball star Tai Wynyard, the youngest-ever Tall Black to step onto the court and play for his country, has taken his family to China, to play for the Shanghai Sharks.
