The Dom Harvey Podcast

You name it, she has done it. Marathons.  Army.  Journalisim.  TV presenting.  Breakfast radio.  Now Dancing on TV!  But there is one reasonably common thing that most of us experience that Brodie is yet to- falling in love.   If you have been too busy to listen to our full conversation from Monday, you can hear Brodie talk openly and vulnerably (but also hilariously) about her lack of a love life...

5 years ago a doctor told Laura she would never run again due to a knee injury.  This year she has finished the NZ track season unbeaten!  She holds the national titles for the 1500m, 3000m and 5000m.  Basically, if she turns up to a park run somewhere in New Zealand, she wll smoke you. We chat about her incredible season, her time in the USA on a running scholership, her partners interest (or lac...

A few weeks ago I asked on Instagram who you guys wanted to hear on the podcast.  By far the name that came up the most was Brodie Kane. Brodie runs marathons, she makes podcasts, shes worked as a serious journalist, shes presented TV shows, she's been in the amy and now shes going on Dancing with the stars! In this conversation we chat about running (of course), her mums mindblowing sporting achi...

Last friday, on the eve of his tenth birthday, Wellingtons Spike Hayvice ran a full marathon on a 400 metre track (thats 105 laps). His mum, Fiona, is one of New Zealands best ultra marathon runners so he was in very capable hands to help him achieve his goal. I caught up with Spike straight after school on Monday (3 days after his marathon effort).   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for mor...

Eight years ago Dave Letele was living in Australia.  Clincally obese, depressed, alone and lonely.  Masking his pain with alcohol and whatever drugs he could get his hands on. Through his hard work and determination, Dave has not only saved his own life but also the lives of thousands of others through his organisation, BBM (Buttabean Motivation). It's an incredible story and I'm so stoked I have...

Meet my coach, Ian Kostrzewa.  I got him on for this bonus episode to talk about how to return to training (safely) after testing positive for Covid-19. In a nutshell the message is simple- DO WAY LESS THAN YOU THINK YOU SHOULD AND EASE BACK INTO IT SLOWLY.  This articles summarizes  how Ian said it should be navigated:  https://www.healthnavigator.org.nz/health-a-z/c/covid-19-positive-exercise/ A...

There is so much more to Jeremy Wells than just that RIDICULOUSLY good looking face that we see on TV and Billboards.   As well as holiding down two high profile media roles (a breakfast radio show and a 7pm current affairs show).  Jeremy also finds time to run most days of the week. In this wide ranging conversation we talk about his why- why he started. We chat about  being raised posh, the most...

Rachel was a highly strung investigative journalist.  Her life pivoted when her editor asked her to do a "fish out of water" series of stories where she tried different fitness fads.   This is how she discovered running and fell in love with the marathon disance. Good conversation for any non runners who would like to know where to start.   Also contains traces of real talk about alcohol, depressi...

Hayden Wilde blew up the internet with his post-race interview in Tokyo after he just won a bronze medal in the triathalon.   In this conversation we discuss everything!  From the experience of losing his dad as a kid to a blow by blow of how he finished 3rd at the Olymic games last year. Warning to non-runners:  There is ALOT of runing chat in this one...but hopefully there is still something for...

Brad Smeele was one of the worlds best wakeboarders.  7 years ago while attempting an insane new trick, he crashed into the ramp and became quadraplegic.   His story is both heartbreaking and inspiring.  Brads resiliance, positivity, wisdom and attitude is mindblowing! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, Dom speaks to Lexie Brownwho was The Bachelorette on TVNZ2. She shares her love of running andspills the tea on reality TV in New Zealand. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Matt Fenn is a bad-ass mental health advocate.  He does mind-blowing and ridiculous running challenges all with the goal of getting the conversation going about mental health. In 2021 he ran 654km continuously.  Each km represented a New Zealander who lost their life to suicide. We get pretty deep.  If any of it is triggering, feel free to text the legends at Lifeline on this number:  4357  Hosted...

Ok its time to launch this thing.  Warning:  this podcast is basically just ten minutes of me talking.  What is Runners Only all about?  Why am I doing a podcast about people who run?  When is it launching (Spoiler:  Monday Feb 28, 2022) and who are the first two guests.  If you like the sound of it (or you think you know someone who would) please spread the word.    Hosted on Acast. See acast.com...

I am so excited about this project I have been working on.  I am also nervous as hell.  I love run chat....but will anyone else?  Also, after 30 great years of breakfast radio, this is something very different I am trying and the fear of failure is huge!  Please subscribe and come along for the ride as we build a community and go from sucking a lot to sucking less.  Thanks,  Dom.
