In Conversation: Geoff Hutchison and Nadia Mitsopoulos

ABOUT THE EVENT

Join celebrated ABC broadcaster and foreign correspondent Geoff Hutchison in conversation with fellow ABC broadcaster Nadia Mitsopoulos as they reflect on Geoff's debut book How Not to Become a Grumpy Old Bugger.

Geoff Hutchison reckons he met quite a few grumps during his time as an ABC broadcaster and, upon retirement, he was determined not to turn into one. How Not to Become a Grumpy Old Bugger ponders why so many blokes seem to struggle as they get older and offers some gentle (and not-so-gentle) advice on how they might lead happier and more fulfilling lives in a fast-changing world.

Geoff not only mines his own life experiences but also consults a wide range of experts and well-known personalities, including bestselling author Maggie Dent, philosopher Hugh Mackay and Fremantle Dockers captain Alex Pearce.

From men’s mental, sexual and physical health to finances and plans for retirement, social media and influencers, loneliness, regrets and — yes — even death, Geoff leaves no stone unturned in his quest to help blokes find contentment. 

Don’t miss your chance to hear Hutchison and Mitsopoulos unpack the experiences of 'Grumpy Old Buggers' and celebrate the launch of the book with an opportunity to pick up a signed copy.
