If you were born between 1946 and 1964 then you’re what’s known as a Baby Boomer… you’re also probably a person of a certain age and the idea of how we deal with aging is at the heart of the award winning podcast The Baby Boomers Guide to Life in the 21st Century. First up tonight we’ll meet that show’s hosts Lex Marinos and Patricia Amphlett and find out why the baby boomers need their own special podcast?

Ciara Thorburn is a circus artist in lockdown who, in her own words, has spent her whole life studying and yet has no career. That lifetime of study is at the heart of the show she’s made in lockdown, The Thesis, and she’s on the line to tell us how you make circus work in your living room.

Then let’s get outside for a bit. Of course, at the moment, the outside is defined by a 5km radius but for some that includes the McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery. We’ll meet McClelland’s First Nations Education and Programme Coordinator Rebecca Robinson to find out what healing we can get from walking the Indigenous Plant Trail which even has a café open on the weekends.

And finally, tonight, we’ll stick with the great outdoors…  this time at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne where the gardens’ first Director Baron Ferdinand von Mueller has returned to walk us around the gardens while he tells us his story. We’ll meet Dave Joseph from Bowerbird Theatre to find out how the outdoor experience of Flora and the baron brings von Mueller back to life.

It’s all on tonight’s edition of Behind the Scenes with Chris Thompson right here on Vision Australia Radio.
