Today’s guest is one of the country’s great All Blacks, Kieran Read. Not only did he captain the side 52 times, but was capped 128 times for New Zealand, won two World Cups, and four Super Rugby titles for the Crusaders. A huge rugby career that he stepped down from in 2021.
As you'll hear, life after rugby is going really well for Kieran, and he has possibly one of the most random Kiwi Yarns quickfire answers I've ever heard (hint: the last one!).
Oh yeah, and he thinks Razor should be the next All Blacks Coach!

Today’s guest is the Mayor of the Far North - and when Moko Tepania (Ngāti Kahu ki Whangaroa, Te Rarawa) was voted in last year he made history by being the first Maori mayor for the region, and also the youngest, at age 31.
The kura kaupapa teacher had served one term on council and now has the top job and boy has he already been busy - particularly in the past few weeks dealing with the aftermath of the devastating Cyclone Gabrielle.
He is a visible presence within the community, and in my opinion he's officially the coolest Mayor in Aotearoa!

Today’s guest is a wonderful broadcaster, a fine young woman I’ve admired for a very long time.
PJ Harding is a former radio host who built out an amazing career here and in Australia.
She moved from the bright lights of Melbourne to the mighty Wairarapa, and lives somewhat more of a quiet life with her fiancé Brendan aka BJ, baby Charlie, Josephine the cat, and Fig the dog.
She talks motherhood, the good and bad of social media, and what she's planning on doing next. PJ is a fabulous person with an infectious smile and tells a bloody great yarn!

Today’s guest is a best-selling author, a qualified counsellor, a self-development coach, a speaker AND she has a massive social media community as @journey_to_wellness_ on Instagram.
Rebekah Ballagh has worked in mental health for many years, but saw the need to help more in the online space. Her books, courses and online advice is easily accessible and hugely popular - she's just great!
Be Your Best Self is her FIFTH book - and it's out at all good bookstores now.
This was a great session (I mean podcast haha).

Today’s guest is journalist Charlotte Bellis.
Charlotte began her career in her hometown Christchurch, but it’s taken her all over the world, from Europe to the United States and more recently, Afghanistan, where she has sat down and interviewed the Taliban.
Last year she became a mum, and during her pregnancy she fought for herself and the many Kiwis locked out of New Zealand due to the MIQ system during the pandemic. She was instrumental in highlighting how deeply flawed it was, which came at the cost of some horrific online abuse. But, the system changed and she was part of that.
A really fascinating conversation with a pretty remarkable woman.

Today’s guest is one of my favourite Black Ferns Sevens players!
That's not only because she tears up the field, she has sweet dance moves AND she’s one of the funniest people I follow on Instagram and TikTok
Basically, Shiray Kaka is an absolute vibe and you will love her like I do!

Today’s guests are Tom Lee and Graham Matthews - two lads who have been the drum and bass duo Lee Mvtthews for the past ten years. They've become so popular with Kiwis, they’re headlining festivals, winning multiple awards, and absolutely owning the Summer gig circuit - recently playing in front of 20,000 people at Rhythm and Vines in Gisborne. I was one of those 20,000 frothers so this is a full geek out session - and it's so cool to hear how these guys operate.
Also, the reason there's a V in their name is quite the yarn!

Today’s guest is the super talented, super fast, incredibly witty Liam Malone.
This interview is a million miles an hour, much like the pace in which Liam can run! Liam tore through our TV screens at pace when he won two gold Medals and a silver at the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio, and fast became one of our favourite sportspeople. He’s super switched on in the tech and innovation space, and can call himself a comedian after performing at the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh.He's had a fascinating life, and tells many a great yarn!

Welcome back to the first episode of 2023!
We kick things off with a woman I admire hugely. Rikki Swannell is a trailblazer in the world of sports journalism, and flies the flag for women's sport in so fiercely and loudly, I’m basically fist pumping right now at how awesome she is and for what she has achieved in her career.
Rikki and I first met when we worked at Newstalk ZB back in 2010 - and I’ve watched her shine ever since.

Merry Christmas!
Jo Kane (aka Mum) thought it might be a nice idea to do a Christmas bonus episode where she interviewed me...so we did it!
Hope you enjoy.
Thanks for all your amazing support, and we'll see you back in 2023!

Today’s guest is one of the country’s most high profile journalists. Paddy Gower is fiercely passionate about telling stories and has been that way for over 20 years. His dogged determination to get to the bottom of issues here in Aotearoa is something to behold, and he certainly hasn't been afraid to piss anyone off along the way. But what Paddy also has which makes him so good is empathy, and what makes him unique is he isn’t afraid to completely immerse himself in the story - which this year resulted in him staging his own intervention, and getting off the booze - in front of the nation.

Today’s guest is an ultra marathon runner like me (haha I can say that now)! But Daniel Jones just won the Kepler Challenge - a 60 kilometre mountain run in Fiordland at the weekend for the FIFTH year in a row. And, while it was the same race I did, he was SIX hours faster. Now, I’m not beating myself up about that at all, I’m saying it to highlight what an absolute weapon Daniel is. This, after winning the Queenstown Marathon two weeks prior and the Auckland Marathon a few weeks before that, for the third year in a row. He’s out of control, so let’s hear how he moves so damn quick.

Today’s guest is one of our country’s great comedians (I bloody love our comedians) - the 2018 Billy T Award Winner Melanie Bracewell.
Not only has she had a stellar career here, she currently lives in Melbourne, and has made a solid dent in being extremely funny in Australia too.
She hosts Cheap Seats and was nominated for a Logie this year - something she didn’t even realise she was eligible for!
A glorious chat with a wonderfully talented young woman.

Today’s guest is the extremely funny, ridiculously wonderful Eli Matthewson, who I am very lucky to be able to call my friend, thanks to our experience this year on Dancing with The Stars. Eli is a comedian, and a breakfast radio host for The Edge, and has also managed to squeeze into his extremely busy life a new doco about porn, with good friend and fellow funny man Chris Parker.

Today’s guest is one of our wonderful sportswomen - world class all-rounder White Fern, Amelia Kerr. We recorded this amazing conversation while Melie was in Adelaide, playing in the Weber Women’s Big Bash League for the Brisbane Heat.
At 22, she's already had an incredible cricket career. It runs deep in her family.
Melie has also just released an amazing series called “Treading Water”, where she shares hers and other Kiwis' experiences with mental illness.
She is truly an extraordinary young woman.

A warning: This episode discusses mental health, suicide and bipolar disorder.
Today’s guest is a wonderful young man by the name of Oscar McCallion. In a few days, Oscar will be running 57km - and he’s running that far to raise $20,000 for the I am Hope charity. And, he’s running it in memory of his Mum, who at 57 years young, took her own life after a long battle with bipolar disorder.
Oscar's kōrero is so important, and he is just such a remarkable young man.

Today’s guest is the absolutely fabulous Cassie Roma.
If someone asked me what Cassie does, I would answer it with “well, she does everything and she can do anything”.
She’s a digital marketer, a social media expert and consultant, a public speaker, and she’s been her kick-arse self on the TV on The Apprentice Aotearoa, and more recently Celebrity Treasure Island.
She's such a wonderful person to engage with, I love her!

Today’s guest is Dr Lucy Hone - a truly remarkable woman who is a renowned global expert on resilience, a best-selling author and, she delivered one of the most popular Ted Talks in 2020. Lucy is the Director of the New Zealand Institute of Wellbeing & Resilience. I had the privilege of seeing her speak a year ago at the Westpac Women of Influence Breakfast, and I have been wanting to chat to her on this podcast ever since. Fair to say, she did NOT disappoint!
