Overview

One man. One taxi. The Sydney Olympic Games. Buckle up for the ride of your life. September 2000. The Sydney Olympics are in full swing. Inside Taxi T1066 it's an Olympic parade of nations. Bewildered Russians, drunken Americans, night-owling Slovenians, ecstatic Australians. And a writer-turned-cabbie who is rapidly nearing his limit. But it's OK. Everything will be fine. Just don't call him 'Driver'. And whatever you do, be careful what you say about the Olympic flame. Part sporting commentary, part social statement, part personal diary, You Talkin' to Me? is a hilarious fly-on-the-wall expose that does for the Olympics what He Died With a Felafel in his Hand did for shared households. These are the Olympic highlights you never saw on Channel Seven. The stories which never made it past the PR sentries of Fortress SOCOG . . .
