Check out The Mish on Substack!
Hey Neighbours,
Today we launch The Mish, a free email newsletter by Dunedin-based reporter Hamish McNeilly, taking a unique look at NZ's best city - and it's people - warts and all.
Hamish has been a reporter in Dunedin for 14 years and loves covering everything from the tragic to the comical - and has no plans to stop finding the stories that keep you reading.
But now he's on a special mission; to make The Mish an essential part of your week. You’ll hear from him every Wednesday at 6pm, and by signing up you’ll be the first to read some of his exclusive yarns.
