Kiwi Yarns

Welcome to Kiwi Yarns - those yarns you have where you sit down, put the kettle on, pour a whiskey or crack open a beer I honestly don‘t mind. Anyway! We‘re sitting down and we’re yarning to some great New Zealanders, their back stories, their front stories, even stories where they went sideways, we will go there. It’s a place where we celebrate the great people of this glorious nation.

    Ian Jones - The Kamo Kid

    Ian Jones is one of the country's greatest All Blacks - and this is such a wholesome and inspiring chat about how "The Kamo Kid" came to be such a brilliant rugby player - but also such a great role model and so active in everything he's done since. Kamo is someone who grabs life by the proverbial but also someone who gives a lot back to others.  You'll get a fascinating insight into why the 1995 Rugby World Cup Final still hurts just as much as it did back then. You'll also find out what inspires and drives Kamo - and there's plenty for us all to take home!

    Edna Swart

    There’s not a lot this fantastic young woman hasn’t done - she’s a businesswoman, entrepreneur, a mother, actress, reality star and a champion of women.  Edna Swart is proof that if you want something it’s up to you to get it, and the success of her business ED&i Body is testament to that. Whether you agree or not with everything Edna says, you will absolutely learn something from her - I guarantee it.

    Brodie recommends: TFN - The F#$%ing News

    If you enjoyed Brodie and Paddy's yarn this week, then get your ears around Paddy's new podcast. It's called The F#$%ing News and it's all about positive news! This week in the middle of the America’s Cup regatta, Paddy has one question - “what and why is a ‘Cyclor’?” Paddy meets the Brainy Kiwi going global with technology that can predict your health future by using AI to analyse a routine eye exam.  Our Good Kiwi is the angel in Wellington giving free dental care to the homeless.  And Paddy warns us not to take the kiwi bird for granted.  If you like what you hear, search for TFN in your favourite podcast player, new episode every Wednesday.

    Paddy Gower and Brodie Kane dissect their books...

    This is a bit of a special episode of Kiwi Yarns where Brodie's good pal Paddy Gower comes in and they have a bit of a yarn about their books. Best believe they play two truths and a lie, and see who wins the prize for reading a segment of the other person's book without laughing. There might be a teaser in there for book two, too. But also, they have a bloody good kōrero about Paddy losing his job, getting a new job, and why he thinks the future of the media industry will be ok.

    Lucy Blakiston + Bel Hawkins

    We have two wonderful women on Kiwi Yarns this week - Lucy Blakiston and Bel Hawkins have just realised their stunning book, Make it Make Sense - a collection of essays, anecdotes, poems and lists. But it's also kind of like a guide to life for women but not, if you know what I mean! And, it's the company you need when you're feeling alone in your thoughts. It's like reading your feelings, and it's also like your bestie giving you a hug in book form. Lucy is the founder and CEO of Shit You Should Care About, and Bel is a published writer and poet, and they're both just stunning women - using their platforms for good. It's hectic and chaotic and lovely.

    Helen Manson

    Today’s guest is award-winning humanitarian photographer and storyteller Helen Manson. The mother-of-four has travelled to more than 47 countries to capture and tell the stories of the world’s most marginalised and vulnerable people in some of the most challenging situations.  Helen has documented famine, refugee settlements, post-war environments, child sponsorship, trauma counselling, and disaster zones.

    Al Brown

    Today’s guest is one of Aotearoa's favourite chefs, Al Brown (he's definitely one of my favourites).  The joy the fish sliders at Depot bring me, the simple brilliance of the Mean Joe Green Best Ugly Bagel which is compulsory whenever I am at Wellington Airport, and don’t even get me started on the chicken sandwich with chicken crackling at the Fed Deli. Al's story is pretty intriguing. His honesty and vulnerability really moved me in this episode.

    Morgana O'Reilly

    This week we have the wonderfully talented and fabulous Morgana O'Reilly. We catch up on what it was like to work on one of the biggest shows in the world, The White Lotus. Morgana talks about how excited she was to take on the role, but how imposter syndrome crept in, how she dealt with it, and how she's feeling about what life will be like when it comes out. It's been a huge year for the actress, getting The White Lotus role, starring alongside Elijah Wood in Bookworm, and her brilliant performance in Friends Like Her. But you'll hear straight out the gate, she is VERY much like you and I, which will make you fall in love with her immediately.
