  • Résumé

  • 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.

    How Richard Adams' deployment in Afghanistan inspired him to establish the disaster relief charity Taskforce Kiwi.
    Feb 16 2025
    Richard Adams is a former British Army officer who served in Afghanistan. He shares how his experiences there moved him to establish Taskforce Kiwi, a disaster relief charity made up of Defence Force veterans and former emergency service workers. The organisation provides crucial support to communities, offering assistance during and after natural disasters—which, as we know, are becoming all too frequent. His incredible mahi has earned him a place as a semi-finalist in this year's New Zealander of the Year Awards. *Warning: This episode discusses suicide. For free help, text or call 1737, 24 hours.

  • Eden Park CEO Nick Sautner talks concerts, the Warriors, a roof, and Aussie Rules.

    Eden Park CEO Nick Sautner talks concerts, the Warriors, a roof, and Aussie Rules.
    Feb 9 2025
    Now, full disclosure—today’s guest is an Australian. But before you hit skip, this Australian has played a monumental role in bringing some of the biggest events the country has seen to our largest sporting stadium, creating lifelong memories for hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders. Therefore, he gets a crack! Nick Sautner is the Chief Executive of Eden Park and during his time there, he has - in my opinion - made the stadium come alive. From World Cups to global rockstars, Nick wants Eden Park to be recognised as our national stadium. He has plans for a roof and played a key role in securing approval for the park to host 12 concerts a year—after a long, hard-fought battle with residents.

    Feb 2 2025
    A fascinating chat this week with Dr Waseem Alzaher, the founder of Cannabis Clinic - the country's largest prescriber of medicinal cannabis. The 36-year-old moved to New Zealand from Iraq when he was seven. While he admits to having had a challenging start to his medical career, grappling with his identity and purpose, he has now found his path, playing an integral role in the rapidly growing field of alternative therapy for Kiwis across the country. We discuss the challenges he has faced along the way, and the stigma that still exists within the healthcare industry and society.
