In this episode, we speak to Ita Buttrose. The former editor, radio broadcaster, TV host and chair of the ABC has long described herself simply as a "journalist" – but that single word doesn't sum up the range of the 83-year-old's six-decade career. Here, the media trailblazer talks to us about being hissed at in testosterone-fuelled newsrooms, and the excitement of launching a magazine during a time of dynamic cultural change. She also discusses why juggling career and family may be more challenging for women now than 40 years ago, and why young men today are struggling to define new roles. Finally, she opens up about her mobility challenges in old age and her new book, Unapologetically Ita, in a wide-ranging conversation with Good Weekend senior writer Greg Callaghan.
