About Between Two Beers

Steve and Seamus are two best mates from Hamilton that turned a hobby into a dream.

Six years ago they bought a microphone and started a podcast in Steve's garage. Today, it's NZ's most popular long-form interview show, with over five million total downloads and an audience of over 180,000 listeners a month. The duo lean on their 20-year friendship to create a comfortable place for NZ's most interesting guests to let their guard down in long-form interviews.

Steve and Seamus went 'all in' on the podcast in 2024, ditching their nine-to-fives to focus on growing their show. Since then, they have launched two new businesses – B2B Speakers and Reflections.Life and produced a series Accidental Business Owners where they share all the most interesting insights of their ride in a live coaching session.

Seamus Marten

Seamus is the original Hambassador and a proud Solomon Islander. 

Before finding his feet as a podcaster he dedicated over 20 years to football administration in various roles with FIFA, the Oceania Football Confederation, and New Zealand Football. He has travelled to numerous World Cups and Olympics and been an integral part of team staff and event management staff around the world.

He's since moved into sports commentary utilising his unique ability to recall useless niche information and weird pop culture references, and travels overseas whenever he can, collecting expensive men's fragrances along the way.
