  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Paddy Gower Returns to Discuss Election Night, Kane Williamson’s Golf Sim Obsession & More!
Q: Can you explain overhang to us as if we're 10 years old?
Gower likens an overhang to a political hangover: a party winning more electorate seats than its party vote warrants can create extra MPs beyond the usual number. He says the practice could produce a result voters view as cooked and damage confidence in the system.
Paddy Gower Returns to Discuss Election Night, Kane Williamson’s Golf Sim Obsession & More!
Q: What has surprised you the most out of getting out and about with Kiwis and talking to them? What issues or what things have surprised you the most on the election trail?
Gower says the dominance of cost of living has surprised him, with many people facing harder conditions than wealthier groups may realize. He characterizes the campaign as mysterious because of uncertainty around party strength, smaller parties, the overhang and turnout.
Kane Williamson: The Full Story - Walking Away, The Virat Kohli Call & the 2019 Final
Q: Can you tell us about this period and what you worked out?
While reflecting on his career in Sri Lanka, Williamson questioned whether pursuing runs and milestones was worth the pressure. He concluded that success meant enjoying the craft, contributing to the team, and defining his own values rather than measuring himself by statistics.
Kane Williamson: The Full Story - Walking Away, The Virat Kohli Call & the 2019 Final
Q: Can you explain where your head was at and what happened?
Williamson says his priorities began shifting after returning from injury and spending long periods away from his young family. He tried to keep playing series by series, but decided to retire when the drive to commit fully was no longer there.
Trade Me & Xero’s Rowan Simpson Picks Apart Our Business
Q: Is this thing you're building a pet or is it livestock?
Simpson says the distinction matters: a pet is something to enjoy and sustain, while livestock is built to grow and eventually be sold. The hosts say Between Two Beers is a pet.
