    Bonus Video - My interview on Rapa Nui TV!

    I'm a TV Star! Okay, so it's the most remote TV station in the world, with probably one of the least number of watchers, but it's a start, okay?

    Anyway I thought that, since I was posting video content, I'd throw up this edited version of the interview that took place on April 25th 2016, a quarter of the way through my NUTR run. I cut out the rest of the TV programme to leave the 7 minutes starring yours truly. The introduction is in Spanish but the interview is bi-lingual. Enjoy!
