With the Olympics and Paralympics wrapped up, the nation continues to bask in the golden glory from a record breaking games. This week we’re joined by gold medal hero Michael Klim, who offers up tales from his childhood through to the Sydney Olympics including his iconic air guitar celebrations, a chance encounter with Aussie royalty while watching Cathy win gold, and plenty more great yarns. His new book KLIM details his life story as well as his current battle with a rare autoimmune disease, and it’s available in good bookstores everywhere.
