Everyone was a kid, once. It's time to explore the lessons from our childhood.
Who were you as a kid? What was your life like? What did you dream and hope for? What came true and what did not? And what did you learn along the way?
A three-part public conversation hosted by Geoff Hutchison that explores who our young selves were and what became of them.
The first conversation will be with Professor Fiona Stanley AC.
Meet Fiona Stanley AC
Professor Fiona Stanley AC is a former Australian of the Year and quite frankly, a national treasure. The founding director and patron of the Telethon Kids Institute, which focuses on the causes and prevention of major problems affecting children and youth, Fiona has been an extraordinary campaigner for Australian children and Aboriginal social justice. What was her like life as a kid? And how did it inform the person she is today?
Meet our host
Geoff Hutchison has been a familiar voice on Perth radio for many years as the host of the ABC Morning Programme and then Drive Show. Before that, he was the ABC’s Europe correspondent and a reporter on the 7.30 Report.
Over that time, he interviewed the good and the great; the famous and the infamous – but his real love was always the curious conversation that explored what lay behind the public face. What inspired a person and what underpinned who they are today?
Since his retirement from the national broadcaster Geoff has been keen to take more intimate conversations into the public space. His upcoming three-part series “Everyone was a kid, once.” at WA Museum Boola Bardip promises to be a memorable event.
You are going to be fascinated by his guests.
