Dom Harvey - A desperate need to be liked, living and dying by your rating numbers.

Regan Green

Most of New Zealand know Dom Harvey as the radio host from The Edge. His ‘character’ on the Edge was often an exaggerated version of himself, Dom explains.


I felt like I sat down with Dom, rather that Dom Harvey the Celebrity. Though Dom has been know for his energetic and big personality who often pushed the boundaries on air, this podcast shows another side of him. Just a kiwi bloke who is actually quite introverted and has his own “bag of shit” just like everyone else.


We go pretty deep and get very vulnerable. We discuss the ‘other side’ of being a radio host, his tough times with Jay Jay, how he left radio to work on himself, going to therapy, his new podcast ‘Runners Only’ and of course a bit of nerding out over running.


There is a lot of discussion around mental health. Dom and I share things that have worked for us and may work for you. But just a reminder we are just “two guys sitting around, talking about our feelings”. If you are struggling with your mental health, having thoughts of suicide or feeling depressed please call LifeLine on 0800 543 354 or talk to a professional.
