Episode 47: Liam Malone (NZ Paralympian legend)

Liam Malone became a household name back in 2016 when he cleaned up on the track at the Rio Paralympics, winning 2 golds and a silver.

He won the hearts of the nation with his long hair and IDGAF speech that went viral where he described himself as “a kid from Nelson who reads books and runs round in circles.”  Brilliant.

He was born with a condition that meant walking was near impossible.  So, his parents made the call to get his feet amputated before he was old enough to remember.

He’s such a fascinating guy and it was a pleasure to sit down with him to shoot the shit…..even though he did make me go to his place at 7am on a Sunday morning after a Black Ferns game,  True! 

Really hope you guys like this conversation.
