First up, Greg Rust was our first-ever interview back when our show debuted on Melbourne community radio station, SYN 90.7FM back in early 2013, and also our last-ever interview when we finished up our initial run at the network at the end of 2014.

To mark the return of The Podium to SYN 90.FM, it seemed fitting that our first guest back should be Greg Rust.

Richie also talks about making his return to GT racing with Triple Eight, and his goals for his return to full-time competition next season.
