  • TV icon Olly Ohlson: Still keeping cool till after school
    It's a big week for Paddy as he chats to a key figure from his childhood. As host of After School, Olly Ohlson was a positive influence on a generation, not least for his groundbreaking use of te reo Māori and sign language on national TV. Paddy gets right up to date by meeting Gangstaa Boom and Jadee Poppop. The couple are blowing up on TikTok thanks to videos of them dancing in the streets of some of our most challenged 'hoods - all to spread positive vibes. They even got Paddy dancing! Warning: This episode contains some strong language

  • Sonia Gray: Medical psychedelics could ease mental health crisis
    WARNING: This week's episode mentions mental health and suicide. If you, or anyone you know, needs help, call or text the free 1737 service, 24 hours a day. Hey everyone. Big news! We've tweaked the Paddy podcast formula, to bring you more of his thoughts on the stories he covers. And this week - with the Government announcing a suicide prevention action plan and the use of magic mushrooms as medicine - two of those stories are about positive ways to improve our mental health. First, Paddy talks to Lotto legend and latest Great Kiwi, Sonia Gray. Her latest project is a doco exploring how LSD and ketamine could (under correct clinical supervision) ease conditions like anxiety and depression. Next, Good Kiwi Jared Rogers exclusively reveals his bid to set a new Guinness World Record for the biggest ever HIIT session. (That's High Intensity Interval Training by the way.) He's got his own mental health journey to tell you about and believes exercise is essential to feeling positive. Finally, this week's How Good is a big-up for our farmers, and why townies have got almost 60 billion reasons to thank the rural economy.

  • ‘I’ve never called another man craveable before’ - Paddy meets NZ’s near-naked chef
    Daniel Rankin has become a global sensation. Often wearing little more than an apron, and accompanied by faithful pug Fraser, his saucy, spicy and, yes, super-craveable Man Can Cook videos are attracting huge audiences on social media. He turns up the heat in the TFN studio. Plus, Paddy remembers Nyree Smith, one of the most positive Kiwis he’s ever met. And there’s another chance to listen to an emotional interview with Super Rugby star Cameron Suafoa as he battles a rare form of cancer. The Blues forward shares the strength he draws from his partner and whānau, and - to mark Men’s Health Week - urges young men to get any unusual lumps checked early.

    Cameron Suafoa shares an emotional update from his hospital bed as he battles a rare form of cancer. The Blues forward opens up about facing a life-threatening illness as a professional athlete, the strength he draws from his whānau, and why he’s urging young men to get any unusual lumps checked early.

  • From bedpans to biographer via Sale of the Century - Jude Dobson
    Fresh from being recognised in the King's Birthday Honours, Jude Dobson talks becoming a household name and why she cares so much about Kiwi history. 13-year-old Amelia Twiss explains why she'll cycle more than 500km to campaign for change after not getting a medal in a mountainbiking event. And Paddy argues that a new private pub in Parliament is a perk too 'bar' for our MPs.
