In this episode we talk with Murray Fleming, General Manager of Event Promotions. Murray set up Event Promotions in 1989 when event management was in its infancy. Event Promotions is undeniably one of the leaders in the New Zealand event management industry. Each year they run 10 of the largest and more iconic events in the country, attracting around 45,000 participants annually. We talk with Murray about the Tough Guy and Gal Challenge series, as well as other events such as the Rotorua Marathon, the Taupo Great Lake Relay, and the Long Course Weekend New Zealand.
In the news we cover postponements and read some listener mail of a recap of the Spartan World Championships.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
