For the FINAL episode of Pod of the 3rd Age, we're joined by the one and only Peter Hitchener.
Hitch has been a staple on Australian TV and radio for the past 50 years, and has recently taken a step back from weeknight news as a sort of semi-retirement, which is not really a retirement at all.
We talk about his wonderful career and his plans for his third age.
After that we chat to Weary Dunlop Retirement Village resident Bill Hearn, who is a dedicated volunteer with Very Special Kids, and is also a Justice of the Peace and an Indeppendent Person.
This volunteer work has given him great purpose in his third age, allow him to 'look outside of himself'.
