As a talkback radio host, Geoff Hutchison has met many grumps.
They are the unhappy husbands, the disengaged grandfathers and the angry 'letters to the editor' writers. They sneer at generational change, know exactly where that bloody apostrophe should go and gather in sad groups bemoaning the modern world. They are Grumpy Old Buggers.
Geoff became determined not to turn into one himself upon retirement. What is it about ageing that tends to have this effect on Australian men, and what can be done to arrest that development
Consulting a wide range of experts and mining his own experience and that of the other men in his life, Geoff has discovered how we can all live a happier, healthier and less grumpy life.
In 2022, Geoff Hutchison hung up his headphones after a long career as an ABC broadcaster. Before that, he was a journalist on the 7.30 Report and a one-time Foreign Correspondent. Geoff is intensely curious and has seldom worked a day in his life. It has been one of great privilege: talking to people, witnessing extraordinary moments and coming to the understanding that the things we share are far more significant than those that divide us.
