David Seymour speaks candidly about NZ Parliament || Runners Only! Podcast with Dom Harvey
Episode Description
EP55 Runners Only! with Dom Harvey & David Seymour
David Seymour is probably most famous for two things- being the leader of the Act party for almost a decade, and twerking in lycra on DWTS!
We talk about his relationship with other politicians including Jacinda Ardern and Winston Peters.
We talk about the death of his mum to cancer in his early 20 and why he has never watched the DVD she made for him in her final weeks, his whole DWTS experience, all the strange little moments he has gone viral for, his relationship with alcohol and how drunk was he really at the last election night?
I understand politics is a murky area. So polarising. But I genuinely care what you guys think so please let me know. Are you keen to hear more from any of the people who run our country? Or not really? My goal is just to speak to really interesting people from all walks of life and learn what makes them tick…but I also want to make sure I deliver you guys a great show each week.
