Kiwi Yarns

Today’s guest is one of our talented radio broadcasters, and even though he’s still super young it feels like he’s been around the industry for years! Clint Roberts' success has a lot to do with his glorious-natured personality - plus he's a great champion of women in the industry. He’s also an extremely proud dad of two beautiful daughters - and recently launched a parenting podcast with another...

Today’s guest was New Zealand's first Bachelor. Back in 2015, Art Green was thrust into the spotlight, where he spent a good chunk of time on television without his shirt on, he got to pash a whole bunch of lovely ladies and got called super cliché things like a “heart throb”. And then, he fell in love on the show with Matilda, he picked her and it really was the start of something special. Now Ar...

Today’s guest is the international best-selling author and award-winning property investor and property coach, Nichole Lewis. Nichole is the CEO of the Property Lifestyle which she describes as her “dream job”. As we’ll hear, she's had an extremely interesting life and really challenging career - including coming painstakingly close to bankruptcy - pretty much losing everything around the Global F...

Today’s guest is one of the nicest guys in the music business. And when I say nice, I mean cool, kick-arse, bad-arse, delightful, ridiculously talented and extremely down to earth - all at the same time! All those things have led Mitch James to where he is today - he's just absolutely smashed out his first-ever headline world tour - performing 50 shows across 15 countries - unreal. Such a fascinat...

Today’s guest is a wonderful woman I’ve had the pleasure of knowing for the past three years. During that time Kelly Hutton - one of the OG Canterbury Flames netballers - has been living with stage three Ovarian Cancer. She’s beaten it twice - but was told at the start of August that she’s got just weeks to live. Kelly and I first met when she won a charity auction helicopter skydive with me, and...

Today’s guest is the co-captain of the 21-strong New Zealand Invictus Games team heading to Germany next month. Staff Sergeant Bob Pearce is a former Intelligence Operator with both the British Army and New Zealand Army. You'll hear how Bob is looking ahead to the Invictus Games to open a new chapter - 20 years after his good friend was killed in a blue on blue incident in Iraq by US Forces. It's...

Today’s guest is one of the biggest TikTokers in New Zealand. Louis Davis has amassed 1.3 million followers on the social media app. And no, it’s not for doing little dances (although he and his daughter dance and it is super cute) - he has captured the hearts of his audience with his beautiful content featuring his daughter Anakiwa. But also for packing up, and moving back to where he grew up to...

Today’s guest is Silver Fern number 162 - Storm Purvis. The talented netballer has now shifted her talents to the screen as a presenter on The Crowd Goes Wild, and Sky Sport. She’s funny, she’s really cool and possibly her only fault is her dicky knees… And, she lets us in on a massive announcement! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today’s guest is a former rugby league star-turned social media sensation.  Johnny Tuivasa-Sheck can still side-step better than most, but he made a massive career decision to leave an NRL contract to go out on his own in the online world. And, it's paid off, because his positivity, hilarious skits and entertaining content has resulted in a HUGE following on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube...

I’m so looking forward to this kōrero with Theresa Gattung - a woman who smashed through the glass ceiling and became the first female CEO of an NZX-listed company - Telecom NZ at 37-years old. She has held multiple roles with huge success - including co-founding My Food Bag. But so much of Theresa’s mahi is centred around helping girls and women find their seat at the table - wherever that table...

Resharing this yarn because LANCE SAVALI. I’ve been wanting to interview Lance Savali for AGES! He's a hard one to pin down, because you know, he's dancing his way around the world. Just to rattle off some low key performances: with Beyonce at Coachella, J-Lo at the Superbowl, Rihanna for Savage X Fenty - no big deal right? And he does it all with a heart condition. Unreal. He's so cool. And he ta...

Resharing this one because it's an incredible story! What did you to celebrate your 40th birthday? Well Jo Kane (aka my Mum) decided that it would be the year she would swim the Cook Strait. It's an amazing story, considering she first set her sights on the notorious piece of water at age 16. Jo talks about the endurance training and mental toughness she built up over many years, and how she was a...

Today’s guest is one of the best rugby players in the world.  Portia Woodman-Wickliffe holds the record for most tries scored at Rugby World Cups - men and women. She has won two Rugby World Cups in the 15-a-side team. She’s an Olympic Gold medalist for the Sevens. In 2022, she scored her 200th try on the World Sevens Series, a history-making feat. And that's just scratching the surface - what abo...

Boy oh boy I’m excited for today’s episode. Joining me in the Brodie Kane Media studio is Somatic Sexologist, Pleasure Advocate, Sex Educator and host of the podcast Sex. Life - Morgan Penn. I'm lucky enough to call Morgan a friend, and she recently took a group of us out on what we called "Flirt School". She’s been on The Girls Uninterrupted podcast sharing her amazing knowledge, and she is SUCH...

Today’s guest is a hilariously brilliant young Kiwi carving out a career for herself across the ditch. Luisa Dal Din has been a radio producer here in Aotearoa and over in Australia, most recently for Fitzy and Wippa. But Lu always had dreams of having her own show. And recently she made the brave and awesome decision to go out on her own. She now co-hosts the very successful We Mean Well Podcast,...

The countdown is well and truly on!! We are less than a month away from one of the biggest sporting moments in this country’s history. The FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 will be hosted here and in Australia from July 20 and I cannot wait! How exciting for us to be involved in the continued rise in women’s sport. Today’s guest is Malia Steinmeitz of our Football Ferns - picked to be one of the stars o...

Today’s guest is an absolute weapon of an athlete. Dougal Allan is a Coast to Coast rockstar, winning the Longest Day twice, and making the podium nine times. Then, this year, he goes and pivots in quite the opposite direction - and is now staring down the barrel of an America’s Cup with Team New Zealand. You see, Dougal has been picked to be a cyclor on the team when they defend the cup in Barcel...

Today’s guest is a highly decorated police officer - and although Ross Pinkham retired from the force eleven years ago, he was one of the most experienced and high-profile provincial detectives. A massive 42 years dedicated to New Zealand Police - which included David Bain’s retrial, NZ police investigator during the Bali Bombings, and arresting one of the country’s most wanted criminals and priso...

Today’s guest recently swapped the corporate life for the cowshed - and she couldn’t be happier. Lauren Randall has spent the bulk of her career in the events industry and didn’t have a rural bone in her body. But, she met her partner, donned some gumboots and now she has dreams to own her own dairy herd. Her story today is proudly brought to you by Dairy NZ. Their GoDairy Campaign is designed to...

Today’s guest is James Luck. But it’s also Elektra Shock. You see, James Luck has danced all over the world with people like Sia, Jessie J and Little Mix. Elektra Shock has featured on RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under and House of Drag. And, James AND Elektra were judges on the 2022 season of Dancing with the Stars… So let's hear both their stories! This is every bit as fabulous as I expected... Lear...

Today’s guest is the ultra marathon swimmer Jono Ridler. Now if you're wondering, ultra-marathon swimming generally means a 20 kilometre or greater swim. In other words a really really long swim. Well, Jono has just absolutely blown that out of the water (I’m not apologising for that pun) and swum 99.1 kilometres across the Hauraki Gulf. It’s the longest solo-unassisted open-water swim in New Zeal...

Today’s guest is the super talented and bloody funny Steven Fernandez. He's an editor, a journalist, a stylist, a creative director, a producer, a publicist, and he's based in New York. If little black books were still a thing I reckon Steven’s would have some HUGE names in it (actually he showed me, he's got Kris Jenner's number). He’s been responsible for getting some of the biggest stars on the...

Today’s guest is Major Buffy Little - a nursing officer in the New Zealand Army. Tomorrow (25 April) is Anzac Day, so who better to get on than a pretty remarkable woman who’s helped with the NZDF’s response to the Christchurch Earthquake, she was involved in the rescue efforts after the Whakaari/White Island eruption, and has served in Vanuatu and Iraq. Buffy is also a two-time breast cancer surv...

Today’s guest is the incredible country music artist Kaylee Bell. She’s had an absolutely glorious year already, performing as the opening act for Ed Sheeran at his six stadium shows, she won a 2023 Australian Golden Guitar Award AND she’s about to headline her own shows throughout Aotearoa next month, as part of More Fm Radio's New Rising Star, Boots 'N All Tour. All that and it’s only April! Som...

Today’s guests are two great pals, two talented musicians and music producers who form the electronic duo Sachi. Will Thomas and Nick Crisp have grafted hard to get to where they are today - and it’s absolutely paid off - constantly selling out gigs and being the first Kiwis to perform at the massive Tomorrowland Festival in Belgium last year. They absolutely got me good on how they came up with t...
