INTRODUCING: Bondy From Hero to Zero

September 10, 2026

Show notes

Alan Bond was a genius, master salesman and con man. His '80s win of the America’s Cup, the sailing race of tycoons, put Australia on the global stage and the public adored Bond for it. In this series of ABC Rewind, satirist Mark Humphries tells the remarkable true story of Alan Bond; from his sporting highs, to building his global business empire and his lavish lifestyle rubbing shoulders with celebrities, to his business empire crashing and burning spectacularly and the scandal uncovered that saw Bondy pay the ultimate price.

This is a 6-part history podcast series from ABC Rewind for Radio National and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
