  • Summary

  • 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.

  • The battle behind Ellesse Andrews' Olympic golds

    The battle behind Ellesse Andrews' Olympic golds
    Nov 24 2024
    What a ripper of an Olympics it was for Ellesse. The cycling superstar won two golds and a silver in Paris - only the second New Zealander (after Dame Lisa Carrington no less!) to win three medals at a single Games. Hear how she had to fight every step of the way in that brutal week to win. It's an incredible story! Fun fact: Ellesse was born FIFTEEN MINUTES before the year 2000.

    Suzanne McFadden: a champion for women's sport.
    Nov 10 2024
    Today’s guest is award-winning journalist Suzanne McFadden. Suzanne has been monumental in the rise of coverage of women’s sports here in Aotearoa. She is an author, the co-host of the SASS TALK podcast, a wife, a mum, a nanna, a bird stalker and a sunset capturer. We discuss working as the only female sports journalist in a newsroom for over a decade, and how tough it was being a solo mum at the same time. Suzanne is truly one of the greats - I respect her mahi so much.
