[Date of this recording is unknown but the presentation style would suggest the late 1930s-1940s.]

An unidentified woman introduces " Te Ari Pitama and his travelcade, Aotearoa Calling."

Two women sing acapella the first verse of "Hoki, hoki tonu mai" at the start and end of the programme.

After a brief mihi in te reo Māori, Te Ari Pitama presents a spoken feature in English about the Māori and early European history of Rakiura/Stewart Island and Ruapuke Island. He describes the beauty of the island and its tourism potential. He also describes Ulva Island and muttonbirding.

[Two women sing another unidentified waiata: "Ka tahi, ka rua..." part-way through the programme.]
