Show notes

Spring has arrived in the Southern Hemisphere and as Australians head to the beach, we take a look back at the history of the iconic 'Budgie Smuggler,' invented by Speedo and popularised by the Australian Olympic swimming team in Los Angeles in 1984. We talk to a leading British fashion journalist about the renaissance of the lovable lycra in Europe.
