Our Favourites: #76 Stephen Peacocke reflects on his TV role as 'flight nurse Pete'

To celebrate the recent release of Season 3 of the TV drama RFDS, we're re-visiting our Flying Doctor Podcast interview with renowned Australian actor, Stephen Peacocke - who plays flight nurse 'Pete Emerson' in the series. Stephen shares his memories of growing up in regional NSW, mustering cattle by motorbike on a remote station, becoming an actor, and - of course - his most recent work on the set of RFDS. He carried out his own research to prepare for the role, including talking with people who worked with the Flying Doctor Service and training with a nurse. ******** Thanks so much for listening to the Flying Doctor Podcast.
