Description
One of the top DJs in Australia is armless!
Tom Nash, aka DJ Hookie, lost all of his limbs due to meningococcal disease 20 years ago and claims that living as a "pirate" since has required throwing yourself into the deep end.

With humour and humility, this episode illustrates what the world has to offer anyone who's willing to put their hooks up!
