Today I had the pleasure of chatting with Ben Buckingham who recently represented Australia in the Tokyo Olympics for Steeplechase. He also clocked a 4 second PB in Tokyo running 8:20.95! We discuss what it was like growing up on a farm in Myrtleford, what it's like also balancing running as a lawyer, his thoughts on his beloved Melbourne Demons. As well as his favourite training spots in Saint Moritz, Switzerland, alongside training with 1500m superstars Stewy McSweyn and Matt Ramsden and some funny stories.

The poddy is back this week with a two timer Aymane! We discuss many topics with the his new career in modeling and the benefits of becoming a model. We also touch on the later parts on VCE and what subjects he will be pursuing next year in year 12, and his plans of studying at RMIT. Aymane's taken up a few new hobbies during the lockdown period, such as back-flipping. Don't worry, because he is keeping it safe, only try this if you have got some safety measures in place!! As always, Aymane's got some funny stories to share especially one in media class!

In today's episode, I have a chat with Arlo. We have a laugh about the moment we found out that we were back in Lockdown, then the isolation. I was intrigued by Arlo's stories when he travelled to Japan pre-lockdown, the driving stories and experiences with almost clocking up 60 kms. Also with his awesome work experience placement at Production Alley, learning all things sound engineering! Last but not least drones, the amount of insane footage that is able to be taken from that is absolutely a touch of class.

Despite being in isolation, we have used it to get ahead on our studies. We dive into some funny events including Animal Farm 2019, Tom covering Kid Laroi, Sol's favourite Olympic moments with Peter Bol, Jess Fox and Paddy Mills the standouts.
