    Adam Hills tackles us with laughter

    In episode 23 Cameron and James invite Aussie megastar Adam Hills to take a seat with them. There is very little that Adam hasn’t done in his life like meeting the Royal Family, representing Australia at the rugby league World Cup, hosting TV shows like Spicks and Specks and The Last Leg , performing at international stand up comedy festivals, and receiving awards out his wahzoo. While we like to dream that we match up to these achievements, we know just how lucky we are that Adam made time in his busy schedule to talking to us.  Having recently finished the 2021 Physical Disability Rugby League World Cup we felt it was very important to talk to Adam about Physical Disability Rugby League and his involvement. His insight to the sport, it’s governance and the importance of its growth in the future. It quickly became very obvious that the South Sydney fan holds Australia and his bunnies close to his heart with his passion bleeding through in his playing performance at the recent World Cup.  We were lucky enough to learn more about his television program The Last Leg. Starting back in 2012 they were continued after the Paralympics with weekly episodes talking about disabilities, news, and sports. He was even nice enough to provided us with the secret ingredients that made them so successful.  We finish the episode with our hard cards and general conversation that left us in stitches and gasping for air.  We loved every second of this episode and we are certain that you will love it equally as much.

    Upstream with a paddle and Anne Usher

    In episode 22 Cameron and James invite Anne Usher formally Dickins to take a seat with them. Prior to her impairment Anne was an avid cyclist which all ended one day when she bent over to put on her shoe. After suffering from the medical emergency of cauda equina syndrome, Anne was left with limitations in her lower limbs. These impairments resulted in Anne struggling with her passion of cycling. This did not deter her away from the sport as she turned her focus to being team GBs physiotherapist at the London 2012 olympic games. At these games she had a chance meeting with the GB Paracanoeing coach who encouraged her to try a new sport. Fast forward 4 years to Rio where Anne was successful in winning the Gold medal in the KL3 Paracanoeing and becoming Great Britain's 100th Medal of the games.  Since winning her Gold Medal Anne has become a Public and motivational speaker as well as a member of the superhero tri series. This amazing Concept established by fellow Paralympian Sophia Warner has changed many lives in the United Kingdom. During the Episode Anne explains how these events have built a community which now thrives in success. This podcast is proudly sponsored by Suncoast Spinners a Wheelchair based sporting club.

    New found bromance with World Champion Sebastian Bechara

    In episode 21 Cameron and James invite Sebastian Bechara to take a seat with them. Unfortunately, Cameron (Australia) was unable to join James (England) in the conversation with Sebastian (England) due to the time difference and travel difficulties suffered on the day of the interview. Sebastian Bechara was a vital part of the English Wheelchair Rugby League side that was recently crowned World Champions at the Rugby League World Cup hosted in England. During the tournament, Seb was also awarded the prestigious Golden Boot award signifying him as the World's Best player. It is no wonder why he received these awards after hearing the years of sacrifice on and off the court that Seb has made. People always ask Seb how he can be so passionate as an Englishman despite living in France since the age of 9. His conversation with James displays why he is so passionate about his country and loves the sport of wheelchair rugby league. Seb explains how he found the sport post Transtibial amputation (below the knee) and how he was inspired by the London 2012 Paralympics during his rehabilitation. James and Seb recap their first playing encounter against each other in 2019 before talking further about the recent World Cup, and its impact on the sport and the community as a whole. The boys go further into the tactics of the game and why England was so successful while Australia's Wheelaroos struggled. Both James and Seb are brutally honest throughout.
