The Outlet Podcast: behind the scenes at the Wānaka A&P Show with Jane Stalker

Prepare to be enthralled as Jane Stalker, the general manager of the Wānaka A&P Show, sits down with The Outlet Podcast host Brent Harbour, to unveil the wonders of this year's event, where a new rural village and a farmyard will make their grand entrance.


We navigate the ins and outs of the tremendous effort it takes to bring such a spectacular community event to life. Jane's insights offer a rare glimpse into the synergy between the strategic visions of new board members and the innovative sparks from fresh team additions. Together, they're sculpting a future for the show that's as vibrant and dynamic as the attractions they meticulously plan.



The sheer scale of coordinating the Wānaka A&P Show could rival any major production, and this episode peels back the curtain on the year-long dedication it demands.


Jane candidly discusses the challenges—like traffic snarls and roadworks—that come with organizing an event beloved by so many, and the patience and planning essential for both attendees and organizers.
