Interview Request From Radio New Zealand National
I got a radio interview request from Radio New Zealand as detailed below. 6.10 am Tuesday Irish time. All I need to do is get to a land line. Anyone interested can log on to their website which should also have a playback possibility.
Tena koe Tony
This is an interview request from New Zealand’s independent public broadcasting station, Radio New Zealand National.
My name is Robyn and I produce the weekday evening show – a nightly voyage of attitude, longitude and latitude. Hullo!
Earl Irving from the Auckland Joggers Club alerted us to your current adventure which has now brought you to New Zealand – and what is touted to be the most daring expedition of the millennium!
Accordingly, I would like to invite you to speak with Nights host, Bryan Crump, about the joys and challenges of running around the world.
Could we speak with you next Tuesday 29 January 2013 at about 7:10pm. The interview would be for live-to-air for 15 to 18 minutes.
If these details suit, we require either a phone number (a landline preferably) or a Skype Name that we can call you on, as well as a back-up phone number for just in case.
Additionally, any further anecdotes from your adventure, as well as a couple of photos of your fine self on this journey for the Nights webpage/facebook would be most appreciated if possible.
By the way, the interview audio will be made available worldwide at broadcast date, to listen to, download and/or share from the Nights Audio Library…radionz.co.nz/nights
I look forward to hearing back from you soon.
Warm regards,
Robyn

So these are just some of the highlights, many more to follow! The blog is littered with anecdotes.
I am now running through Oceania my 3rd continent through New Zealand, then Tasmania, the Australian outback north through the middle Melbourne to Alice Springs to Darwin. Then S/East Asia, China, Kazakhstan, Russia and Europe, I am confident and on schedule to finish the world run at the finish line of the Dublin marathon 27th Oct 2014.

Good Man Tony, Remembering the list of highlights of theworldjog so far is just mesmerising – there are so many! Just one I could pick would be Violet back in that village in Bolivia with no electricity but plenty of potatoes. Ok Tony, you tell them !!

Very quickly! ran 46km today,Sunday.
The last 20km with Kiwi ultra running legend Perry Newburn who recently circumnavigated New Zealand, all 5,000km of it in an astonishing 10 weeks of running along the perimeter of both islands! Perry put some much needed zip into my legs! see his website http://www.perrysruns.co.nz I had a wonderful day. Tomorrow,Monday we return to today’s finish and run the 60km to his home in Fielding. I am planning a very very early start on Tuesday to run a decent distance before we return to Perry’s house early am for an office day of sorts. I will then take the Radio New Zealand interview there

Hey Tony—will be sure and tune in tomorrow–28th our time. So—didn’t I tell you that you would love NZ and the Kiwis—-In my estimation it is the best place in the world to live –especially if you love the out of doors!!—-and the people are really really hospitable!!!… as well, when you are sleeping outside you have nothing to worry about when it comes to snakes, spiders etc—nothing there to hurt you—a real Nirvana for sure!!!—-Enjoy the scenery and hospitality—-those miles through the center of Aussie are going to be monotonous compared to these sites—-but no doubt enjoyable in their own right!!!—It was great reading your highlights—and there are so many many more!!!—-OK man—good running—and sounds like good eating as well!!!—–just hearing about old NZ again makes me wish I were there running along side—not that in my age I could keep up hahaha—–
Ciao–Greg
