How sport saved Dylan Alcott - a podcast by triple j

The 2021 Paralympics are kicking off in Tokyo and wheelchair tennis champion Dylan Alcott couldn't be more excited to compete.

But it wasn't always gold medals and champagne showers. Dylan tells Hack how sport helped him emerge from a really dark time.

Plus, young Aussie workers heading into COVID hotspots to work each day say they feel unsafe and unsupported by their employers and the government - so what needs to change?

And, a hairdresser is giving fellow locked-down people free Zoom haircutting tutorials so they don't end up with dodgy DIY mullets.

Live guests:
Mairead Lesman, Acting director of Young Workers Centre
Dylan Alcott, Paralympian and wheelchair tennis champion
Nic Singer, Sydney hairdresser
