Bio

Dom Harvey is a broadcaster, author and an award-winning podcaster who has received multiple awards, including 'Podcast of the Year", "Best Entertainment podcast" and "Best Independent Podcast". Dom is a great example of traditional media talent who have found creative control, commercial freedom, and revitalised passion for storytelling through his podcast and digital content.

Dom has written three books. Bucketlist of an idiot was inspired by the eponymously named 2008 film and detailed a list of absurd tasks the inverse of the feel-good satisfaction afforded by the movie (think regrettable tattoos and nude modelling). The tasks being assigned to him enthusiastically by family and 'friends'! Dom's second release, Childhood of an idiot, details the adventures of adolescent Dom, and his parents’ best intentions in raising him amongst the backdrop of the 1980s Aotearoa- a time before overreaching regulation and political correctness.

Dom's loves long-distance running (he’s a confessed "Marathon nerd"). He has completed all the world's major marathons, including New York, Chicago, Tokyo, Berlin, London and Boston. In 2018 he ran five marathons in five days and helped raise $250,000 for a young girl's cancer treatment in Barcelona. His best time was a 2 hour 57-minute effort in Tokyo smashing the three-hour barrier- the yardstick that separates serious runners from weekend wanderers. The achievement, coupled with surviving a life-threatening tumour, became the genesis for his third book, Running: A Love Story. Mental illness is a cause close to his heart. Dom is on a quest to raise awareness and bring open discussions to the table through his new podcast Runners Only.

Aways from his craft and community and charity work Dom loves the great outdoors and spending time with his close ones.
