As waves break behind them on Bondi Beach, former Australian rugby league icon Matty Johns and former Australian Olympic swimmer James Magnussen get real about the trials and tribulations of James’ own Olympic career, the little-known “zoo” that is the Olympic village, and their respective gold medal predictions ahead of Paris 2024.

They’re due to switch that iconic Australian backdrop for the stadia and chateaux of the French capital, where they’ll be bringing you all the Olympic action in this brand new podcast, Matty & The Missile In Paris.

In the first interview of the series, the Missile unveils his plans ahead of the controversial enhanced games and gets more than a little heated, ripping into none other than the Today Show’s Karl Stefanovic.

Episodes of Matty & the Missile in Paris will drop daily in The Matty Johns Podcast feed.
