or the first time in seven years, we got the whole team in one room and did something uncomfortable: we audited our own podcast.

Eight people, one question on the table - if we rebuilt this from scratch, what would it actually be? What came out of i... more

Becki Ross was given two to three years to live. Diagnosed at 42 with stage four, incurable bowel cancer, she's a mum of two teenagers, a teacher, and one of those rare people who lights up a room the second she walks in.

Steven and Seamus go behind the scenes of the Izzy Dagg episode that's gone massive - the research calls, why Izzy almost didn't tell his story, and the reaction that's followed since.

Plus: the new dream guest list - who's next after Graham Norton ... more

Israel Dagg had everything he'd ever chased - a Rugby World Cup, a young family, the life a kid from a Hawke's Bay state house could only dream of. Then he retired, and the question underneath it all hit at once: “if I'm not an All Black, who am I?” more

  • Good easy listening stuff

    Some good episodes from the guys who have an easy manner with people drawing them into conversation. Most favourite so far has to be the Simon Barnet episode. Least favourite is the Les Mills episode. His evaluation of Jacinda is so far off it’s laughable. Good show. Worth a listen.

  • Sponsorship Sell-Out

    A real shame to hear ads supporting gambling in Aotearoa. Cashing in on, and promoting, such a harm causing thing.

  • This one hit different

    I’m just wanting to let you know how much your podcast with Simon Barnett resonated with me. My daughter Megan died following a 15 month battle with a GBM brain tumour. Like Simon says it’s not something we’re ever going to get over, rather I like to explain it as the grief is something that you learn to walk beside rather than behind, if that makes sense. Waking up every day to a world without someone you love in it is unexplainably painful. Her life had only just started, she was 28.
