Some of them are her questions but most of them come from you guys on social media. Some nerdy podcast stats here - 1 million downloads puts us firmly in the top 1% of all podcasts worldwide which is insane. And we reached this ...

July 23, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 179 MBMaia Wilson first made the silver ferns in 2016 when she was still 19 and has been there shooting goals, and lots of them ever since. But she is so much more than an awesome netballer- sports wise, she made the NZ women's basketball team when she was just 16. In this conversation we chat about a whole range of stuff like body image, self-worth, and the societal pressures faced by professional athletes. Also coping with the death of her nana and dad in quick succession. Then getting through...

She has played over 100 games, been to three Olympics, played in 3 (soon to be 4) FIFA Women’s World Cup tournaments and that’s just the tip of her football iceberg. I would like to think this episode is a good glimpse into the mind of one of New Zealand’s greatest footballers of all time. And hopefully...
Mils Muliaina Reflects on All Blacks Career, Wrongful Arrest, Life After Rugby, and more!
July 09, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 211 MBMils Muliaina would dispute this, but he is one of the Greatest All Blacks of all time. He was only the second All Black to play 100 tests (less than a month after Richie became the first). He was part of the team that won the 2011 Rugby world cup against France in that nail biting final. He was also part of the team that lost the world cup 4 years earlier after being beaten by France. But Mils is so much more than a former All Black and accordingly, rugby only makes up a small part of th...

June 28, 2023 13:00 - 58 minutes - 135 MBShorty Clark from New Plymouth is officially the worlds best triathlete in the 70-74 category. He became a world champion in Abu Dhabi late in 2022 at the age of 71. 9 months later, in this podcast, he still gets emotional talking about that moment. It’s a sport he only took up in his late 40s and back then he couldn’t even swim so its been a long journey- a 26 year apprenticeship he jokes. I thought Shorty's story would be a good one to share for a few reasons. The main one being what ...

By sharing her story, she hopes to empower others to find their own strength and use their voice to make a difference. I absolutely adore Mea and I know you guys wi...
Dean Barker (Yachting legend and bowel cancer survivor)
June 11, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 194 MBDEAN BARKER: Dean Barker is a name that is synonymous with yachting in NZ. Especially the Americas cup. When you think of that event his name is up there with Coutts and Butterworth back in the day and now Burling and Tuke. Unfortunately, he is probably remembered most for being the Team NZ skipper when we were on the receiving end of one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history- remember that? San Francisco 2013. Team NZ was up 8-1 then we ended up losing to Jimmy Spitalls Oracle bo...

Kelsey Waghorn (Whakaari White Island eruption survivor)
May 28, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 218 MBKelsey Waghorn was a Whakaari White Island tour guide in December 2019 when it erupted. This is a powerful and raw conversation with Kelsey. And it is a tough listen in parts, made slightly easier thanks to Kelsey's ability to find the humor and light in the darkest situations. We talk about Kelsey and her life before, during and after the eruption, the resilience and courage it takes to navigate life after such a harrowing experience. Through her journey of healing, both physically and...

After 3 days of intense and brutal racing he not only won the event, he also SMASHED the world record. The Ultraman event is a crazy few days of racing. It was created in 1983 by some mad bastards who, I'm assuming, decided the Ironman distance was too easy LOL. This is what an Ultrama...

Leigh Hart (NZ TV royalty- his most raw & vulnerable interview ever)
May 14, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 250 MBIf you say you don't know who Leigh Hart is, I'd probably raise an eye brow. He has been part of the New Zealand comedy and TV landscape for two decades now. He is also the face of Hellers sausages, the creator of Wakachangi beer and, more recently, the insanely good Snackachangi chips THE best Salt n Vinegar chips in the world). BUT whether you know him or not, I think you’ll be a fan of Leigh after this. It’s a fascinating insight into the mind of a creative genius. We get real deep an...

Billy Evans (Boston police commissioner)
April 30, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 147 MBWilliam "Billy" Evans.

If you like this, I hope you will go on to listen to the whole conversation when you have the spare time.

Suzy Cato
April 23, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 63.6 MBSUZY CATO. I think for the most part Suzy is a New Zealander who needs no introduction. Chances are if you are in your 20s or 30s now, she was a big part of your childhood (she is the undisputed queen of children’s TV in Aotearoa). In this episode, I had the pleasure of diving deep into her life and career. We explored her beginnings in radio, her transition to TV, and how she met her husband, Steve. We also discussed Susie's experiences dealing with the heartbreak of losing a baby and b...

He went through a lot of ups and downs before finding himself and then finding this sport that gave him focus and purpose. He has never told his full story publicly before, so I thank him for the opportunity. H...
