We delve into the thrilling journey of the Aussie Supercross Champion who made his way to the big screen, fresh off his latest movie working alongside Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt in "The Fall Guy," which was filmed in Australia.
We caught up with Dan in Hong Kong, where he's already immersed in his next film project, to discuss Universal Pictures' tribute to the stunt industry and its homage to the original "Fall Guy."
In this episode, we discover how Dan's racing expertise translates into the world of stunts—not just on motorcycles, but in cars, trucks, and action-packed fight scenes. Learn about his transition from racing to becoming fully accredited in the stunt industry and the challenges he faces in his post-racing career.
We'll also share some behind-the-scenes insights, including a Guinness World Record set during filming and the extraordinary feat of shutting down the Sydney Harbour Bridge for a show-stopping scene. Tune in to hear how Dan's journey from the racetrack to the film set defines his unique contribution to the stunt world.

The Motorsport Brief: The Fall Guy with Dan Reardon

She didn't want to come on, but she delivered in spades! We are proud to have tracked down and twisted the arm of the former Channel 10 Motorsport team member and intrepid ‘RPM’ reporter for a ‘where are they now’ feature episode.
Alison was at Ten as the network amassed a portfolio of categories that made it the ‘Home of Motorsport’. It was a golden era with everything from World Rally Championship, to Indycar, MotoGP and more. 
Before then, she worked with the late Doug Mulray on Listnr’s broadcast station Triple M. Doug was the King of Sydney radio then and was a popular member of Channel 7’s Bathurst coverage injecting his unmistakable humour to the call.
We discuss how Drower, the likeable FM radio newsreader, made the transition to our screens covering all sorts of cool yarns and bringing out the personalities in Motorsport!

Alison Drower - Part 1

We continue this gripping ride with former RPM and Rally reporter Alison Drower during a period in the late 90’s and mid 2000’s when Channel Ten became Australian TV’s undisputed 'Home of Motorsport'.  
From magic moments making tele at the track, in the forest and with an access all areas pass that took fans on a back stage tour. 
We have some fun with how she made Neil Crompton blush and burst out laughing when they covered Targa Tasmania. Plus, what Alison’s doing now, how Motorsport still plays a big part in her life as her son Zach Bates chases the dream of racing full-time in Supercars.

The Motorsport Brief: Top Gear Australia Preview with Jonathan LaPaglia

"Yeah baby!" Do you remember Rob’s classic F1 radio conversations with Felipe Massa?
Well, we’ve tracked him down in the UK for a feature episode, and it's a ripper. From growing up in the north, impressing at University and getting a break in motorsport on the engineering side that would see Smedley spend the better part of his life in the Formula 1 paddock with memorable stints at Ferrari and Williams. 
Rob’s delves deep into his vast time in pitlane, which also included time shaping some legendary cars in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) at the height of the incredible arms race between the manufacturers in the two litre Super Touring era.
He graciously took a break from his work with the Global Karting League, a groundbreaking initiative he's passionately leading, to join us for this conversation. The project is creating a buzz in the karting world and providing unprecedented opportunities in Motorsport to those who previously may not have had the chance to begin. Discover more at Global Karting League.
