The last episode for Season 3 is out tomorrow, the amazing story of international rally champion Molly Taylor. In a sport where women have been very much in the minority, Molly has not only impressed with her skills and work ethic, she has dominated many events. In 2016 she became both the youngest driver and the first woman to win the Australian Rally Championship. From that point her career has gone from strength to strength. I hope you enjoy it!
Next Wednesday on Real Risk I chat with the former commissioner of NSW Fire and Rescue, Greg Mullins AO AFSM. Greg has been fighting fires since he was a kid, and more recently he's taken up the fight to save our planet from climate change. With Senator Matt Canavan regarding COP26 as a "great result" for the Australian coal industry, it's time we started to listen to experts like Greg. If you only listen to one of my podcasts, make it this one. And I can highly recommend Greg's book "Firestorm" which is filled with exciting tales of our emergency services in action, balanced by a well referenced, factual argument about the impending climate disaster.

As a front line firefighter with real world experience, Greg also brings a wealth of scientific knowledge to bear. His new book "Firestorm" is gritty but also factual and well referenced.

Have you caught up with Aussie Muay Thai champion Carly Gangell yet? She's on Real Risk podcast right now! And she's inspiring.
Stepping into the ring is not something that I'd be keen on, but I do admire the skill and toughness of the athletes who do. Muay Thai champion Carly 'Cupcake' Gangell seems far too nice to be such an effective proponent of the sport! And she is doing so much more than just winning bouts in the ring...listen to her full story this Wednesday on Real Risk Podcast.

This week it's another one for the petrol heads. They called him the King Maker in the world of MotoGP. If you wanted to win a world championship you needed a great team and the best crew chief. And that man was Jeremy Burgess or "JB". Just ask Wayne Gardner, Mick Doohan and Valentino Rossi. Out Wednesday on Real Risk Podcast. .racing

Ever thought about the life of a police diver? They don't spend much time looking at coral and fish, in fact most of the time they are diving in dams, rivers or even sewage looking for evidence or bodies, doing everything by feel. This week's episode of Real Risk explores the life of one of South Australia's finest, Sergeant Dave Bacchus. Dave describes what an average day's work entails. Not for the faint hearted! Image ABC
