The 1970s was a wild time of liberation and self-expression. One form of this was the emerging trend of streaking, the act of running through a public place naked. It didn’t take long for the craze to find its way from college campuses to stadiums the world over. In this week’s episode we trace the story of the first streaker at a major sporting event back to an Australian (sorry New Zealand).  Join us as we strip this story down on our quest to find the wildest story from the world of sport.
