November 13: The Natural: Richard ‘Dick’ Thornett
Brendan Morris & Stephan Wellink … in conversation with Bill Kable
A prodigy from his school days, Dick Thornett’s exceptional abilities blossomed in adulthood, cementing his legacy as a world-class athlete in the 1960s. The youngest of three remarkable brothers, Dick’s achievements are nothing short of astounding. By the age of 22, he had represented Australia in water polo at the Rome Olympics, toured with the Wallabies to South Africa and New Zealand alongside his brother John, and, with his brother Ken, played a pivotal role in the historic success of the 1963-64 Kangaroos.
Brendan Morris and Stephan Wellink go beyond the scores and records to explore the profoundly human story behind the athlete. They delve into Dick’s journey, not only on the summits of global success but also through the valleys of personal struggle.
November 20: Man Unplugged
John Broadbent … in conversation with Bill Kable
In the not-too-distant past, a man’s self-worth, being a provider and protector, were strongly tied to his work. With global financial pressures, changes in employment and gender roles in flux, the traditional roles of men are changing.
Health, sexuality, intimacy and emotional mobility underpin a man’s capacity to relate, which in turn informs the quality of his interpersonal relationships and ultimately, society.
Join John Broadbent as he takes you on a journey through the inner world of men, exploring the multiple facets of why we are as we are. You’ll understand the steps men can take to instil lasting change, resulting in authentic men, connected relationships, happier families and stronger communities.
