The Dom Harvey Podcast

Mark Sainsbury has been part of the NZ media landscape for as long as you can remember. For 5 years he was the host of a nightly 7pm show on TV1 called Close up. This was at a time when prime time free to air TV still commanded a huge audience.

And this is “Sainso’s” first ever long form podcast! It’s a very wide-ranging conversation:

+ We talk about his iconic moustache, of course.

+ His best stories about working with Sir Paul Holmes.

+ Memories of the 1981 Springbok tour

+ Getting publicly dumped from prime-time TV.

+ Why Paul Henry publicly criticized him.

+ His friendship with Sir Edmund Hillary.

+ Men’s health. Ageing. And the weirdness of having one of the country’s most familiar faces.

Mark is funny, self-deprecating, brutally honest, and full of stories that could only come from someone who has lived such a full life.

I sat down with a Generate KiwiSaver adviser when they came on as sponsor in 2023, and it was one of those conversations that made me think, why didn’t I do this earlier?
