Jon Bridges on the rising distrust in the media, being a middle-aged man in lycra, and the correct use of an apostrophe

I hope Jon Bridges takes this the right way when he reads it - he’s genuinely one of the good guys in New Zealand media.

With a television career spanning more than three decades, the comedian-turned-producer of some of the country’s biggest shows says it’s largely down to him saying “yes” to the jobs people ask him to do.

And who in the Gen-X/elder millennial age bracket could forget Bridges’ luscious locks on Ice TV in the late ’90s?

We talk about the dire state of the media and the public’s distrust, his passion for road cycling, fertility, and the proper use of apostrophes.
