In the first of our holiday shows we have an interview that we did with Mike Plant. Mike has passed away since doing this interview so this is a treasured interview. Here's what we wrote about Mike when he was on the show: Author, photographer, journalist, freelance writer and entrepreneur, Mike Plant has been involved in competitive sports, sports journalism, marketing and event production, for more than 40 years. Mike was an early leader in the sport of triathlon, where as a journalist, photographer, media consultant and publisher he helped introduce the fledgling sport to a generation of mainstream journalists. Triathletemagazine in 1986 called him the "Dean of Triathlon Writers," a modest accolade considering the number of triathlon there were at the time, but it was, if nothing else, indicative of his influence in the sport.
