Saturday Morning with Jack Tame

Tara Ward: Screentime - Nolly, Boom Boom! and Tiny Beautiful Things

Running a marathon is a task on many people's bucket lists – whether that be a half or a full. 

Some even dedicate themselves to ultramarathons – running 60 kilometres every day for 28 days. But most people don't run it in the coldest, windiest, and driest desert on Earth, enduring sub-zero temperatures and 100 kilometre winds.  

Donna Urquhart, a pain doctor, undertook that exact Herculean task, picking up a Guiness World Record for her efforts and has written a book about it – 'Life Without Limits'.  

She told Jack Tame the idea came about in 2021, when she was watching a video podcast in which Australian polar explorer Eric Phillips was talking about his expeditions in Antarctica. 

"I was just captivated by listening to him and also watching some of the footage," Urquhart explained.  

"I've always wanted to go on a big adventure ... I thought, oh wow, I wonder if you can run in Antarctica, and if so how far can we go? And that was the beginning."

It's Father's Day this weekend, and Kevin Milne can spy the perfect gift. 

Between the Warriors, Black Ferns, and the All Blacks, there'll be rugby on the screen from 5pm this afternoon till 3am tomorrow. 

So if you're looking for a gift, Kevin thinks just letting your dad sit or lie in front of the TV, watching back to back sport, is a pretty good option.

Reb Fountain's taken a turn for the personal in her highly anticipated new album. 

'Water For Gasoline' was written and recorded in the musician's own garage studio this year, the songs record live, and most in a single take.  

Chris Schulz told Jack Tame there's a rawness and intimacy to the album, the music sounding warm and inviting. 

He described it as her best album yet.
