“Rogues” compiles 12 years’ worth of long-form articles Keefe has written for The New Yorker, revealing his predilection for the margins of what we consider acceptable society.

This is a useful exercise as many learners find it difficult to distinguish where words begin and end in a normal barrage of speech from the likes of a native speaker.
They learn subliminally they need not necessarily listen actively all the time. By merely playing the recording in the background, learners’ ears will become better attuned to the sound of the Māori language.
