    FastCast: Joseph Parker on Fury Friendship, Prize Money, Depression & Life After Boxing

    The FastCast is a highlights length version of a previously released episode of The Dom Harvey Podcast.  The hope is if you like this Fastcast, you’ll go back into the archives and listen to the full-length episode sometime. Joseph Parker, one of NZs greatest boxers of all time, joined me on the podcast in May 2022. I thought I’d revisit our podcast and share it as a Fastcast because Joseph is on a 5 fight win streak and this weekend he has the opportunity to make that 6 with a fight against British fighter Daniel Dubois.  We talk about his introduction to boxing as a 12 year old. How he teamed up with his coach Andy Lee. His friendship with Tyson Fury,. How his childhood sweetheart became his wife. His mental health and the time where he felt at his lowest. Life after boxing and regrets. Here is a link to the audio of the full episode from 2022: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz2z1EklXBI Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Jackson Garden-Bachop - Losing his Brother Connor, Dealing with Grief & Overcoming Addiction

    Jackson Garden-Bachop plays super rugby for Moana Pasifika.  He was destined to be a pro rugby player- his dad was an All Black, his mum was a Black Fern, and his cousins were All Blacks. Jackson began his professional career with the Wellington Lions as a teenager in 2013 and last year celebrated his 100th game for the province. The last player to do that was Tana Umaga who is now his coach at Moana Pasifika. This is part of the Jackson Garden-Bachop story. His reflections on growing up with high performance parents, the pressures of social media, the impact of losing his mum to leukemia as a teenager and the heartbreaking loss of his younger brother Connor to an undiagnosed medical condition last year, the lessons learned from adversity, the complexities of grief, the importance of authenticity and so much more. Jackson is the real deal! A man who doesn’t shy away from the ugly parts of his life and a man who has learned to lean into vulnerability. To get this sort of level of unfiltered authenticity from someone who is still at the peak of their playing career was refreshing and new.  In my opinion, this makes Jackson Garden-Bachop a role model. Have a listen and make your own mind up.

Lance Burdett is a former police crisis negotiator, specializing in dealing with high-risk situations, including hostage negotiations, suicide interventions, and major criminal incidents.

In this conversation we talk a lot about mental health- dealing with depression, understanding the inner voice, how to seek help and lots of practical tips from a man who has experienced depression himself and seen many others at their absolute lowest. Then there is the stuff from his 20 year police career- being at the coal face in crisis situations, including the Napier siege and other high-pressure negotiations where, in his words, you deal with the dealing with the sad, the mad and the bad.

    FastCast: David Seymour on Losing Mum to Cancer, Twerking, Gaffes & Tall Poppy

    David Seymour, maybe the most polarizing and divisive politician in New Zealand, joined me on the podcast at the start of 2023. I thought I’d revisit our podcast and share it as a Fastcast because he recently confirmed he is engaged to his partner of two years, Alexandra Martelli. One of the standout moments for me in our conversation was about a home-made DVD that David has which he has never ever played. It was given to him in his early 20s by his mum just before she died from cancer.  The DVD was intended as a gift for David to give to his life partner. So, assuming they can find a working DVD player, Alexandra will be the recipient of that very special DVD. Also, in this Fastcast we run through David's catalogue of viral media gaffes. His thoughts on tall poppy syndrome. And reflections on twerking on DWTS and some valuable life lessons. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Stephen From Dunedin - NZ's Most Infamous Radio Fan, Givealittle Bucket List Trip & More!

    How do I describe Stephen from Dunedin to someone who has never heard of him before?  Well, his name is Stephen, and he is from Dunedin. He is obsessed with Facebook, Radio and Otago sports. In the early 2000s, Stephen gained a bit of a cult following with his frequent appearances on New Zealand radio stations as a phone caller.  His favorite radio station was whatever one would give him airtime. Then for a long period of time, he was banned from almost every radio show in NZ for abusing producers who wouldn’t put him on the air. The only show who never banned him was the breakfast show on The Edge that I was part of. What I loved about having Stephen as a regular caller was that he was polarizing- people either loved him or loathed him, there was never any middle ground.  Blandness doesn’t win radio ratings, and bland is most definitely not a word you’d associate with Stephen.  In January 2025 Stephen was in Auckland for a trip to Los Angeles which we postponed at the last minute due to the devastating fires and his dad’s worsening health.  So, I promised him I would bring him into the PodLab studios and have him as a guest on my podcast. Sadly, a week after recording this episode, Stephen’s father- Robin Gibson- passed away. If you remember Stephen from his on-air appearances on The Edge breakfast show, this will bring back some (hopefully) cool memories. For everyone else who is listening, you are about to become acquainted with who I believe is one of New Zealand’s great characters- Stephen Gibson aka Stephen from Dunedin.

    Michael Galvin aka Dr. Chris Warner, 30 Years of Shortland Street, D**k Pic Scene & Conan O’Brien

    If you say the name Dr. Chris Warner, I think 9 out of 10 New Zealanders would probably know exactly who you are talking about! The Shortland Street character, played by Michael Galvin, has been a core cast member in the New Zealand hospital drama for over 30 years. He was on episode 1 of the show back in 1992 and he is still seeing patients at the fictional Ferndale clinic now.  It is hard to imagine Shortland Street without Chris Warner. This podcast is a small part of the Michael Galvin story. We talk Shortland Street- then and now- including the ferocious criticism the show received when it first launched. And his iconic line, “please tell me that is not your penis.” How Michael coped with the intense fame in the late 90s when Shortland Street cast members were as famous as All Blacks. Michaels personal journey with mental health, anxiety and depression, including a panic attack while filming one day. And the role meditation plays in his life now. His pride in the relationship he has with his daughter and his thoughts on becoming an empty nester. How he would like Chris Warner's story to end and much much more. *** Just before we crack into it, I want to thank my epic sponsors at Generate who made this episode possible.  Something to ask yourself - what do you see yourself doing in retirement? Moving to the beach? Exploring the world? Spending more time with friends and family? Whatever your dream, there’s one big question —how much will it cost?

    The FastCast is a highlights length version of a previously released episode of The Dom Harvey Podcast.  The Coast to Coast is an iconic New Zealand multisport event. Only 2 women have ever won the C2C 5 times. Simone Maier and Kathy Lynch.  And I don’t want to jinx it or anything, but all going well in the 2025 event held in February, Simone could become the absolute Coast to Coast G.O.A.T with 6 wins. Simone joined me on the podcast early in 2024 shortly before her 5th Coast To Coast win.

    Mark Longley Reflects on Emily Longley’s Life, Her 2011 Murder & Shares Domestic Violence Warning

    Mark Longley’s life was plunged into unimaginable grief in 2011 when, at the age of 17, his daughter Emily Longley was murdered by her boyfriend.  In this conversation Mark shares memories of Emily and who she was and the joy she brought to his life. We talk about coping with the challenges of grief and how he managed to avoid being totally consumed by it. The importance of making a stand against violence and the emotional toll of the trial that followed Emily's tragic death. Mark reflects on his relationship with Emily, the last moments they shared, and how he has navigated the complexities of loss while striving to keep her spirit alive. Since his daughter’s life was taken Mark has done a huge amount of important advocacy work in this space which has potentially saved others from going through the tragedy his family has endured. I didn’t know Emily at all. But I have no doubt she would be incredibly proud of her dad.
