E86 | Grant Fox
We talk about Grant Fox’s relationship with his golfing superstar son Ryan Fox - and the best stories from being his caddy, his 40-year friendship with the late Martin Crowe – and the incredible bet they made at school, the best lessons learned as a father - and grandfather, what it’s really like to be an All Blacks selector and why he's walking away from it.
E85 | Jono and Ben
This was such a cracker ep. We trace the path from ‘do stuff to Jono Fridays’ at the Rock, and Pulp Sport/Wanna-Ben, through to the primetime smash hit Jono and Ben Show - and beyond. We laughed, we cried, and we had a bloody good chat. Don't miss this one.

Then in February he was diagnosed with bowel cancer. His brush with death has given him a new lens on life, and made him open to talking about his High Court trial, and other things he wouldn't have in the past.
E79 | Jack Tame
Hard to know where to start with this one - except to say it was one of our favourite eps. We talked to the exceptionally talented Jack Tame about Les Mills grit class with Lorde, “James” Tame and Winston Peters, Trump, flirting with Anne Hathaway, dancing with Beyonce, Mike Hosking, the art of the interview, the beauty of Q +A and everything in between!
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!

Then she walked away at the top of her game to settle back in heartland New Zealand.
