Michael Heseltine is perhaps best known as a politician and former Secretary of State for the Environment. But he is also a successful entrepreneur, publisher and property developer. In addition, he also has a keen interest in nature and, with his wife, has created one of the UK's most beautiful arboretums.  Presenter Catherine Fairweather talks to Lord Heseltine about his time in politics but also about Brexit, dyslexia, risk and his long-standing love of trees.

What if we all saw age, not as a barrier, but as a new beginning? Featuring sparkling conversation from vintage minds, The Third Act is a podcast that celebrates later life – by putting it centre-stage.
 
Each episode, writer and journalist Catherine Fairweather chats to some of the world’s most experienced artists, adventurers, actors and entrepreneurs – hearing tales of triumphs and setbacks, exploring the intimate secrets of a life well lived and unpacking tricks for ageing gracefully (or otherwise). Over lunch at Auriens Chelsea, each guest reflects openly and honestly about how they are redefining later living and embracing life’s next act. Warm, witty and invariably wise, this series will leave you with the strong belief that the best is yet to come. 

The Third Act is brought to you by Auriens – a luxury residence in Chelsea that redefines later living.
