Episode Description
EP62 Runners Only! with Dom Harvey & Adam Parore
Through the 90s and early 2000s Adam was a star of the NZ cricket team. Then following on from his cricket career, he could be seen on the cover of Women’s Day (what seemed like) every second week. Over a decade ago he went to ground and there has been very little written about him in the public domain ever since.
