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.

We’ve all got that one mate who’s convinced they’ve worked out how to beat the market, usually with a lot of confidence and no actual expertise.
So, here's your reminder not to get caught up in the noise and trust the real investment experts at Generate.
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?
A Generate adviser can help you figure out what fund type is best suited to your KiwiSaver goals.
