Listen To Older Voices: Grant Young – Part 2

[vc_cta h2=”Welcome to Listen To Older Voices, a program produced by Rob Greaves and podcast through the Toorak Times and Tagg” style=”3d” color=”orange”][/vc_cta]
listen to older voices: grant young - part 2  Welcome to the second of a 3-part program featuring the Life & Times of Baby Boomer, Grant Young. 

This show picks up on the discussion started in Part 1, regarding Grants thoughts on the Vietnam War and conscription – an issue at the time that seriously divided the country. It was also logical and appropriate that this discussion would then move neatly into a discussion regarding Gough Whitlam and his historic win.

Politics would appear to be an interest for Grant, and one he has some strong and informed opinions on as he discusses the state of politics in Australia today.

But its not all politics, as Grant talks openly and honestly about his two marriages and eventual divorce in the first, and separation in the second. Grant shares stories of the extensive travelling done by Deb, his second wife and himself, as they travelled through Asia and later, Europe.

It is during his talk about his time in India where Grant’s humor really breaks through and it is hard to believe, you the listener, will not join us in laughing.

We pick up with the continuation by Grant on his thoughts on the Vietnam war.

I have been with the Toorak Times since April 2012. I worked as Senior Editor of the Toorak Times until 2023, when I retired. I now work as a special features contributor for both the Toorak Times and Tagg. I've been in the Australian music scene as a musician since 1964, and have worked in radio and TV and newspapers (when they were actually printed on paper) as well as working in the film industry, as the Film Unit manager on Homicide for several years. I also have extensive experience in audio production and editing.
