  • Episode 30: Shaun Wallace
    The Chaser is on! Specifically Shaun Wallace, the very first Chaser from global TV mega-hit The Chase. Ahead of his visit to Aotearoa-New Zealand, Simon's first international celebrity guest beams in from his London home to discuss juggling criminal law work and a television career, growing up Black in 1960s Britain, and how he keeps his mind and body healthy. Shaun even agrees to take on Simon in a general knowledge quiz. Shaun has teamed up with Believe It Or Not quiz events for a five-centre tour of New Zealand. Each event - Auckland, Hawke's Bay, Wellington, Invercargill and Kaipoi - will raise money for a different local charity. Some events are sold out.

  • Episode 27: Hayley Holt
    After excelling as a dancer and snowboarder, Hayley Holt became a regular and popular face on our TV screens. Professional success was offset by alcoholism and losing a child in late pregnancy before she battled back. She chats to Simon about facing her demons, her ADHD diagnosis, her brush with politics - and the joys of family life with her partner and baby son, Raven. Hayley's autobiography, Second Chances, is out now. WARNING: This podcast covers topics that may be upsetting, including miscarriage, stillbirth and alcoholism. A range of organisations can help.
