Olivia McTaggart is 24 years old and is one of the greatest pole-vaulters NZ has ever produced.
Her highest jump, so far, is 4 meters 71cm (for comparison, the height of a double decker bus is 4 meters 40 centimeters).
At 18 she fulfilled her childhood dream of going to the Commonwealth Games and finished in the top 10. Then at her 2nd Commonwealth Games she finished 4th. This year, she is hoping to raise the bar- excuse the pun- and go to the Olympics in Paris...
DAVID NYIKA

Aesha Scott is one of the stars of the Bravo show “Below Deck.” Some of you will be massive fans of the woman crowned NZ TV personality of the year.

Either way, you are in for a treat! I’ve done over 100 podcast episodes so far and this might be the wildest episode yet. This true-blue kiwi chick is amazing- relentlessly positive and just naturally likeable and hilarious...
ALEX PLEDGER
Alex is officially the tallest podcast guest ever. He is also the guest with the biggest feet…and maybe the biggest heart as well.
This was the first time we had ever met; I knew very little about Alex but the two hours just flew by. There are lots of lessons in here….the most important one being the importance of early detection for bowel cancer...

The secret to his success? Hard work and a relentless drive to be better...
MARK RICHARDSON:
Just before we pad up and get to the crease, thanks to my sponsors at Generate and Radix.
Generate is my personal KiwiSaver scheme, and I’d love it if you would consider making it yours too.

Mere is a former sports star...
Steve Williams- the worlds greatest golf caddy of all time!
This was such an honor. Steve is by design a pretty reclusive guy. This is the first long form podcast about his life that he has ever done so it’s a true honor he agreed to do it.
As you would expect, there is a lot of Tiger Wood chat ahead- they were, after all, best friends and had an incredible working relationship for 12 very successful years...
