When Matt stepped up for his final dive in the Beijing Olympics from the 10 metre platform, he’d already lived it a thousand times in his mind. What followed was Olympic history, but as Mitcham shares, that gold medal has many layers to it.

This Australian legend opens up on the journey behind the moment, from a childhood (and diving career) shaped by chance, to the highs of global success and the challenges that followed.

It’s honest, vulnerable, and at times confronting. A story of determination, resilience, and what it truly takes to reach, and navigate, the top.

Matty is an absolute beauty.

A life lived on the road with Formula 1. It’s part history lesson, part travel diary, and part behind-the-scenes pass to the Formula 1 paddock, from someone who has been there for it all.

Respected F1 journalist, broadcaster and podcaster Tom Clarkson has seen the sport from the inside for decades.

With more than 500 consecutive Grands Prix attended since 1998, Clarkson has travelled the world alongside Formula 1’s modern evolution.

From the drivers who left the biggest mark, the circuits that stand above the rest and the press conferences that lit up the paddock — Clarkson shares stories from the road, including regular meetings with former F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone.

Plus, the boys unpack Oscar Piastri’s Melbourne weekend, the pressure cooker of the modern paddock, and the global surge of Formula 1.

And then there’s the future. New regulations have arrived, plus the Audi Revolut F1 Team joins the grid, there's new power units, and sustainable fuels engineered by bp set to help shape the next era of the sport.
