Listen "V8SP: Garry Wilkinson (Part 1)"
Episode Synopsis
We’re talking to Garry Wilkinson on this week’s episode of the V8 Sleuth Podcast polished by Bowden’s Own. ‘Wilko’ was a core part of Channel 7’s coverage of touring car racing from the late 1970s through the the late 1990s, and his voice is the soundtrack on several iconic moments throughout the sport’s history.
In Part 1 of a two-part chat, he talks about how his distinctive, dulcet voice and accent originally came about through an overseas radio job, how his maiden call-up for a motorsport commentary gig was his first visit to a race track, and shares a few behind-the-scenes tales from the early days of Channel 7’s Australian Touring Car Championship broadcasts.
