On the podcast we catch up with retired race caller Kevin Thompson. He excelled as a commentator in all three codes spending twenty years at Kembla and thirty years at Harold Park. Almost three years ago he suffered a stroke following multiple bypass surgery, leaving him with an impairment to his peripheral vision.
