Episode Synopsis
In Part 2 Matthew talks of his participation on the 4 man commentary team used by the BBC at the Aintree Grand National. He got to call from the commentary position at Becher’s Brook-perhaps the most famous of all the Aintree obstacles.
He talks of his love for tennis and his nine year association with Tennis Australia, as a caller and courtside interviewer.
Matt looks back on the amazing number of sports he’s covered at Summer and Winter olympics.
He speaks with great honesty about the lethal virus he contracted during the Beijing Olympics. He recalls the ravages of Melioidosis, a virus present in contaminated soil and water. He looks back on the days when his life hung in the balance.
Matt reflects on the decision to leave Sydney and the grand farewell he was given by one special country race club.
No Matt Hill podcast would be complete without his tribute to Winx. He called the champion in two of her four Cox Plate wins.
This is a review of the first nineteen years of an amazing career. A great listen.
