Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 36 - CEO of Newbery Cricket, David White
Q: What are Newbery's main selling points and how do you balance heritage with modern product development?
Newbery is a heritage brand with a premium, aspirational image. We've simplified product grading, leaned into data-driven design, and expanded beyond bats into balls, team wear, and female-oriented lines while tapping into history through re-releases and a Wikipedia initiative to collect brand stories.
Episode 36 - CEO of Newbery Cricket, David White
Q: What attracted you to operational work in sport, and how has that shaped your career with Newbery?
Operations in grassroots sport involve fixtures, transport, grounds, and officials; it's a meticulous, process-driven role that scales with seniority. This background helped me drive large leisure portfolios and now guide a brand-focused operation at Newbery.
Episode 36 - CEO of Newbery Cricket, David White
Q: You left school at 16 and became a groundskeeper. Talk us through that decision.
It wasn't so much a deliberate decision as a drift away from formal education, followed by opportunities in cricket coaching and grounds work that progressively steered me toward sport administration and eventually into leadership roles.
Episode 33 - Cricket Content Creator, Charlie Harden
Q: How did you get started in the content space, and was cricket always central to it?
Cricket has always been the focus; Harden started a short podcast to prove he could talk cricket, then pivoted to clip-based content designed for engagement and, eventually, journalistic aspirations in commentary.
Episode 34 - New Zealand 'Hall of Fame' and legendary commentator, Jeremy Coney: Part 1
Q: Memories of the test debut?
Coney recalls facing West Indian- or Australian-origin quicks during his Sydney debut, the challenges of early international exposure, and the broader context of NZ cricket at the time.
