Bays of Our Lives episodes:

August 21, 2024 Ep 16: Damon Harvey - Man of the Bay, Politician, PR guru, Athlete, Editor, Dad and dude...
Whether it's Damon Harvey local Councillor or Damon Harvey from Attn! Marketing PR or Damon Harvey from your normal friend list, there's no denying he's one of Hawke’s Bay’s most visible and energetic champions of local business, local politics and local sport. An ultra-busy dad, a man who thrives on connecting people, a superfit sport-billy, a surfdog and an all-round infectiously excellent Hawke’s Bay person of influence – Harvey is someone we really should have had on the Bays Of Our Lives Podcast WAY earlier. Sozz babes.

July 15, 2024 Ep 15: Roy Brown - Musician & proprietor of The Cabana in Napier, NZ's oldest live music venue
If aliens suddenly descended to earth, romped into your kitchen, held lasers to your face and said “Tell us who your live music leader is in five seconds or you will die in a puddle of ooze”. Then all anyone in Hawke’s Bay would need to say is “Calm down, it’s Roy Brown”. An incredibly talented pianist, vocalist and songwriter in his own right, Roy has single-handedly championed live performances for hundreds of local and international acts of almost every genre imaginable through his ownership of The Cabana in Napier. Hawke’s Bay wouldn’t have a live music scene if Roy weren’t opening those doors on Shakespeare Road every night of the week. And a 1, a 2, a 1, 2, 3, 4!

Additional audio editing was done by Kayla Tepania.

July 08, 2024 Ep 14: Andrew Frame - Hawkesbaylien, Commentator, GC
If there’s anyone more Hawkesbaylien than Andrew Frame we’re yet to see it. Famous for his blog ‘NapierInFrame’, Andrew (who played a mean recorder in the Tamatea Primary School orchestra of 1988) is on a mission to tell Hawke’s Bay’s stories. And through the power of Twitter (it will always be Twitter Elon!) he also keeps corporate media and political baddies on their toes and highlights the quirky things about our region. Two Countdown-Woolworths supermarkets directly across the road from one another. Why? We HAD to find out!
Andrew also isn’t afraid to be brutally honest about his struggles, broken dreams and ambitions to make major life changes. We hear ya Andrew!

June 26, 2024 Ep 13: Charity Norman, Novelist, Writer and World Traveller
Some podcast eppy’s are real pinch-yourselfers. Like how on earth did Dan and I manage to snaffle some time with one of New Zealand’s most talented authors? And how on earth did we not know that she lives on our back doorstep? Ugandan-born, England-raised Charity Norman is an ex-barrister who now divides her time between Wellington and Central Hawke’s Bay. According to Google she’s written eight novels. 8!!! But by the time you read this it’s probably more like a dozen. Her talent has netted a raft of prestigious literary awards including the Ngaio Marsh Award for Best Novel in 2023 for Remember Me. Our chat with Charity was seriously choice!

June 09, 2024 Ep 12: Danielle Harper, Yogi and Business Owner of Alma
What happens when a hotshot LA lawyer meets a homegrown Kiwi boy on a boat in Nicaragua? Of course, they have a whirlwind affair, fall in love, and within months, the criminal prosecutor has moved her life across the world to be with her new beau, Tom, in rural Hawke's Bay. Culture shock? Hell yes. Danielle says she and Tom connected over their mutual love of the outdoors, animals and travel, eloping to Africa to tie the knot . Back home in Havelock North, she developed a Pilates and gyro studio called MOOVE and more recently founded Alma, which is more than an exercise studio. It’s a community. We talk veges, herbal tea, travel, dogs, Hollywood and all things health with this hurricane of a human!

February 13, 2024 Ep 11: Chris Hyde, Editor of the Hawke's Bay Today
You don’t get much more ‘baptism of fire-ish’ than just getting your head around becoming the youngest ever editor of the main newspaper in a region and then suddenly that place is hit with a massive cyclone. And you can’t tell people about it. When power and comms were wiped out for days on end during the biggest natural disaster Hawke’s Bay had seen in nearly a century, that’s what Chris and his staff faced. He talks us through that chaotic time and how they finally got the stories out.

January 30, 2024 Ep 10: Jamie MacPhail: A life in music and supporting the arts
Jamie MacPhail
If one person has revolutionised how urban and rural folk experience live music in recent years, it’s Mr MacPhail. And if you gaze at those lone, little community halls out in the far flung countryside and think “I wonder what they look like inside?” Then chances are Jamie will be able to answer your question because not only has he opened up these quirky, small, characterful buildings to the masses, he’s even put some of New Zealand’s greatest musicians and singers on their stages during his ‘Small Hall Sessions’. So of course Dan and Yvonne are gargantuan fans of his. From a past-life in record company land, to a new direction as a tour promotor, Jamie unveils the high notes, the almost-disasters and everything inbetween,

January 23, 2024 Ep 9: Oz Clarke - Actor, Wine Writer, TV Presenter and Broadcaster
Holy heck, did this actually happen?? Yvonne is still wrapping her head around the fact that one of the world’s greatest wine celebrities was. In. Her. House! Oz Clarke OBE, globally revered wine expert, author, actor, singer, cyclist, steam train fan, TV presenter and NZ Wine Hall of Fame inductee for his four decade long advocacy for kiwi wines (Marlborough sauvignon blanc in particular) popped in to Chez Lorkin after a whirlwind day of wine tasting to sit at the kitchen table and wax fizzicle with us before we all hit the Taste Hastings Wine Festival. Such fun!

Merry Christmas, Hari Kirihimete, Happy Hanukkah, and let's have a great 2024. Yvonne and Daniel have a long, random chat, some of which has holiday themes, year roundups and well, it's been a while since the two had a one on one catch up. So here goes...

December 29, 2023 Ep 7: Alena Kemper: NZ's Young Winemaker of the Year
At just 22 years old Alena Kamper became the youngest ever winner of the Tonnelier Mercurey New Zealand Young Winemaker of the Year competition. And she’s gorgeous, she’s super-sharp, she’s funny AND she’s darn nice person. So we hate her. Hawke’s Bay born and raised, Alena was a science nut at school who discovered that winemaking could actually be a fantastic way of channelling her talent after attending a high school careers expo. Just a few months after graduating (with top marks) in Wine Science from EIT she entered the competition and lo! Her star indeed shone bright. She’s now working at Sacred Hill Wines and we’ll be watching her career progression like the proud celebrity stalkers we are.
