Dr Lucy Hone: Grief, Resilience & Losing a Child

This episode includes discussion of grief, loss, and mental health, which some listeners may find distressing. Dr Lucy Hone is one of the world’s leading voices on grief, resilience, and how humans survive life’s hardest moments. In this episode, Lucy shares the tools and insights she’s developed through her work in resilience psychology - and through personal tragedy, after losing her 12-year-old daughter Abby in a sudden accident. We talk about why grief isn’t just about death, but about any unwanted change we’re forced to endure, why so many of us struggle with “grief literacy,” and how opening up honest conversations about loss can help people breathe again.

Why Are We So Bad at Setting Goals?

We’re kicking off 2026 with a big change! Di walks into the studio with a completely shaved head, addressing the "elephant in the room" immediately. But this episode isn't just about the new look - it’s about looking forward. Di introduces the "10,000 Days" framework: the idea that at mid-life, we have roughly 10,000 days left to live. The question isn't just what your net worth will be when you're 80, but whether you had a "sh*t ton of fun" getting there. We also get into a heated debate about "parenting scorecards" (do you really need data to know if you’re a present dad?). In this episode, we cover: The Big Reveal: Why Di shaved her head and the "interesting assumptions" people make.The 10,000 Days Rule: A framework for reverse-engineering your life from age 80.The "Shit Ton of Fun" Metric: Why financial freedom means nothing if you're miserable achieving it. Steve and Seamus are proud to be dressed by Barkers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Warriors CEO, Cameron George: The 1,038-Day Covid Exile That Forged the Club

This week on Between Two Beers, we sit down with Cameron George, the CEO of the New Zealand Warriors. Cameron is one of the most influential figures in modern New Zealand sport - and in this conversation, he opens up like never before about the journey that shaped him, and the brutal years that nearly broke the club. We dive deep into the Warriors’ extraordinary 1,038-day COVID exile, the personal toll it took on players, staff and families, and how that period ultimately forged the culture and resilience we see in the club today. Cameron reflects on leadership under pressure, the people who carried the organisation through its darkest stretch, and what it takes to build belief inside an NRL club representing an entire country. We also explore his upbringing in rural Australia, his unlikely path through horse racing and governance, his relationship with owner Mark Robinson, and why “people first” has always been at the centre of everything he does.

The couple who foiled New Zealand’s biggest drugs plot

An ordinary couple foiled the country's biggest drugs deal, all by doing a good deed. It involves a boat, a fake funeral at sea and the criminal underworld's least able seamen. That ordinary couple of 35 years, Ed and Heather we're calling them to protect their identities, lived a quiet life in the far north of New Zealand. Ed is Māori and a well-respected mechanic and fisherman; Heather's the sort of person who offers help without thinking twice. So when a group of men turned up close by at 90 Mile Beach in 2016 asking for their help to launch their boat to spread their brother's ashes at sea, Ed and Heather did the neighbourly thing and mucked in. They had no idea what they were stepping into. What followed over the next five days felt almost like a farce. This motley crew's boat and their skipper weren't cut out for sea-faring at all and after many failed attempts, engines blown, and flared tempers, Ed and Heather were left wondering if the story the men had told them was a little fishy. Whilst they saw the funny side of it, something much darker lay behind the men's actions and when Ed makes a discovery, he and Heather have to stay outwardly calm or risk the men finding out.

Mike McRoberts: The Toll of the 6pm News

For years, Mike McRoberts was the most recognisable and trusted face on New Zealand television, sitting at the 6pm news desk, delivering the biggest stories in the country. What most people never saw was where that job took him. In this episode of Between Two Beers, Mike opens up about reporting from war zones, covering humanitarian disasters, and what it actually took - mentally and emotionally - to be the face of the news for so long. He reflects on moments that still stay with him years later, including being detained overseas, witnessing the aftermath of devastating earthquakes, and why the job became “a special kind of hell” at times. But this conversation goes deeper than war stories. Mike also speaks candidly about identity, growing up “culturally malnourished,” and how learning te reo Māori later in life forced him to confront parts of himself he’d long ignored. It’s an honest discussion about responsibility, belonging, and the personal toll of carrying other people’s stories for decades. This episode is brought to you by our proud sponsors TAB. Got a hunch?
