Welcome back to Bloomin’ Legends! The podcast where we uncover the wildest, most legendary, and unbelievable true stories from history!

In this episode, Johnny Vaughan and Gavin "The Woodman" Woods unpack the jaw-dropping tale of Reg Spiers - the Aussie athlete who mailed himself across the world in a wooden box and somehow lived to tell the tale.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

📦 The Man Who Posted Himself Home – Why Reg climbed into a crate and shipped himself 10,000 miles

✈️ Smuggling, Sweat & Survival – How he survived airports, baggage holds, and border checks

🏃 From Javelins to Jail Time – His rise as a top athlete and his descent into international crime

🤯 One of the Wildest Rides in History – How Reg became a cult legend for all the wrong (and right) reasons

Bloomin’ Legend or Not?

At the end of the episode, we decide: Was Reg Spiers a true Bloomin’ Legend? Or just a lunatic in a luggage hold?
