E78 | Josh Kronfeld
You might know Josh Kronfeld as an All Blacks legend. Or Otago hero. Or a Crowd Goes Wild reporter. Or a physio, or surfer, or artist, or maybe you know his music... the point is he's done a hell of a lot with his life - and we had an absolute blast covering it all in our latest episode!
E77 | Ryan Fox
Ryan Fox is one of New Zealand’s best golfers and has 13 professional wins including two European Tour titles. He shares memories of his late mate Shane Warne, his best Tiger Woods stories, what really happens when you win $500k in one tourney, why golfers are weird guys, and much more.

E74 | Polly Harding
PJ Harding started her radio career as an intern at NZME's ZM in 2011 but it didn’t take long for her to find her way behind the mic. She proved her talent as one of the most engaging voices on kiwi radio together with Jase Hawkins when breakfast radio in Australia came calling. Then she walked away at the top of her game to settle back in heartland New Zealand.
E73 | Lance Cairns
Lance Cairns was one of the biggest names in New Zealand sport in the 1970s and 1980s, a bowler who took over 100 test wickets for NZ and captured the public’s imagination with his powerful hitting. It was only in December 2009 that he had a life-transforming operation. A cochlear implant allowed him to hear clearly for the first time in over 30 years.
E72 | Kieran Read
Kieran Read is an All Blacks legend and a bloody great New Zealander! We go behind the scenes of the All Blacks environment, get an insight into the ‘freak of nature’ that is Richie McCaw, recovering from injury and playing through pain, as well as sharing some lighter moments from his career.

E67 | Marina Erakovic
Marina Erakovic was New Zealand's no. 1 women's tennis player from the age of 15 and spent over a decade inside the world’s top 100 rankings.
