Episode 2: Older, active and valued - a podcast by Southern Melbourne Primary Care Partnership

How old is older? Ask people at different stages of their lives and they’ll give you different answers. A five-year-old thinks a 35-year-old is ancient while the 35-year-old thinks that 65 and retirement are the end of productive life.

The reality is that we all age differently and that there is no age where people become less capable, less worthy, less useful…simply less. In the 21st century it is common for people in their 60’s, 70’s and beyond to work, study, volunteer, mentor, advocate and more.

In this episode Colin Tyrus speaks with comedian, speaker and social activist Rod Quantock OAM about his experiences of an active life as an older person.
