The Dom Harvey Podcast

Rosie Overcomer was born and raised in Gloriavale. 

She left 11 years ago at the age of 26 with her husband Elijah and their 3 young children.

Since then, they have had three more children and life looks very different to how it did a decade ago- we talk about these adjustments to life outside. Including getting her first haircut, celebrating a birthday for the first time at 28, and the liberating moment she wore jeans for the first time...

Warning! This episode of The Dom Harvey Podcast may be upsetting to some listeners or viewers, it centers around terminal illness and assisted dying. Please listen with caution. This is the Tracy Hickman story.

In March 2019 Tracy, an ultra-marathon runner and accountant, went for a routine mammogram and was hit the devastating news she had an aggressive type of breast cancer...

James “Jimmy” Marshall is a man of many talents, with an unreal work ethic.

After an epic rugby career that included winning a super rugby title with the Hurricanes then captaining Taranaki to an ITM cup title. He has turned to coaching and last year joined the Crusaders coaching crew after being shoulder tapped by Razor Robertson.

Off the field, he has built the incredible “What A Lad” podcast...

TIM ROSS (AKA Rosso):

A lot of New Zealanders won’t know who Rosso is and that’s exciting- because it means you about to get to know a cool person.

In the early 2000s when Rosso and I became mates, he was part of Australia’s number 1 radio show, “The Merrick and Rosso show...

Lewis Clareburt is the golden boy of NZ swimming. 

He won 2 golds and a bronze at the last Commonwealth games and recently became a world champion at Doha.

Lots of good stuff in this conversation- going viral on Tik Tok for his Olympics behind the scenes content, his insane training schedule and the sacrifices involved, the recent drama that saw him break up with his coach and move cities, coping with pressure and much, much more...

FREDDIE BENNETT:

Freddie, an Englishman who now calls New Zealand home, shares his remarkable pivot from life in one fast lane to life in another fast lane. 

In his old life he was chasing cheap dopamine with copious amounts of alcohol and cocaine.

Now he’s leaning into the search for a quality dopamine hit by pushing his body to the limit physically and doing epic s**t...

Simon is the former leader of the National party, and the first ever Māori to lead a major party in New Zealand. 

We cover a lot of ground here- the good, the bad and the ugly. And there is plenty of each!

We chat about his very recent serious fall off a Lime scooter, his early acting role on Hercules, his law career including his time as a crown prosecutor and the toll that takes on a person’s mental health...

JON NABBS

I caught up with Jon the day after he landed back in New Zealand after completing an absurd personal running challenge in Canada.

Dressed in a superman suit and pushing a stroller containing all his supplies- tent, sleeping bag, food, electronics, everything- he spent 305 days running from one side of Canada to the other- 7351km- solo and unsupported.

In the process he raised over $100,000 for child cancer research...

Jon Toogood is a New Zealand rock god.

As a teenager in Wellington, he swapped his cricket bat for a guitar, formed a band called Shihad and never looked back.

Since then, he has been named NZ vocalist of the year 3 times and has even been inducted into the NZ music hall of fame. 

It’s not very often you get this sort of unfiltered access and time with a rock star who has been to hell and back so this was a real treat...

Janet Redmond calls herself a possibility manager. That title is basically her reworking of the word therapist.

She was previously a trauma specialist, training psychotherapists and counsellors.

I reached out to Janet immediately after watching the Israel Adesanya documentary movie, “Stylebender.”  I thought this grandmother from Nelson in the campervan the surprise star of the film.

This is a podcast of two halves...
