In Episode 21 of The Good Oil Podcast, Cam sits down with road-safety crusader, Better Roads founder and accidental folk hero Geoff Upson.

Geoff has spent years waging a one-man war on crumbling roads, bureaucratic inertia, and the maddening gap between what officials promise and what actually gets fixed.

He’s famous for spray-painting giant phalluses around Auckland potholes when the council wouldn’t listen.

In this unfiltered conversation, he breaks down the state of New Zealand’s infrastructure, the perverse incentives that keep repairs slow, and why ordinary people are increasingly forced to take matters into their own hands.
