Hello kids, this is Risk, the show where people tell true stories they never thought they

dare to share.

I'm Kevin Allison, and every Thursday we release these special episodes where we look

back at content from our earlier years.

Sometimes single stories, sometimes whole episodes, keep in mind that years ago people might

have awarded things differently than they would today.

As always, the title of the whole series, Risk, is itself a content warning.

This week a story that Radcliffe Royds first shared on the podcast in July of 2014, here's

Radcliffe now, with a story we call Riches to Rags.

Good evening, what a privilege for you.

What a privilege to share this stage with so many wonderful storytellers.

So cast your minds back to the summer of 2001.

It's a Sunday evening, I'm sitting in my fully loaded Audi Quattro company.

I'm wearing a suit because I'm that kind of guy.

I'm obviously a shaker in a mover.

So I come from one of those families which can best be described in America, I'd be described

as Ivy League.

I'm coming back from a weekend in Bournemouth on the coast in England, the Riviera if you

will.

I'm driving back.

A boy can dream.

It's an Audi Quattro fully loaded.
