On Sir John Tusa's 90th birthday, he is starting a podcast.

John was one of the founding members of BBC Newsnight, he went on to run the BBC World Service and subsequently became managing director of the Barbican Arts Centre. He's lived an incredible life, both personally and professionally, spanning the very best in arts, architecture, culture and politics, and there's still plenty more he wants to do.

Speaking to other people in their 90s who have lived equally impressive lives, he shows that although nonagenarians can share stories that traverse generations, they have rich insights for the modern day that we need to listen to.
