The JP Tocker Show

This time I was fortunate enough to sit down with Paralympic gold medalist Liam Malone. Recently at the Paralympics Liam won the silver medal in the men's 100 metres and took the gold in both the men's 200 metres and 400 metres. Liam smashed Oscar Pistorius record in the 200m at the games and during the interview goes into detail how he spoke with Oscar while he was on home detention earlier in the year. Soon after his medal haul Liam grasped the worlds attention with his attitude and outlook on life featuring on several high profile shows in the UK including stand up to cancer. We talk about Liam's journey to the RIO games, dealing with adversity and whats next for 22 year old. I think your really going to love this one Liam, he is an absolute champ. Cheers,

Highlights include learning about how Clark Gayford pulled Jacinda Arden, his paid for trip to the Rugby World Cup which he calls the best piss-up he's ever had and his ability to stay mentally and physically fit all year round.
