Season 3, episode 10: a better age (part II)
What if the best age is one we haven’t gotten to yet? Earlier this season we looked at the ups and downs of aging from the decades we’re in: the 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s. Today we hear from family members in the decades ahead of us: 50’s through 90’s. Their reflections had a surprising amount in common. #memoir #aging #personalessay #interview

Season 3, episode 8: a good age revisited
Last spring, we explored why people actually get happier as they get older despite everything our culture tells us to the contrary. We’re delighted to return to those conversations that made us think differently about the ages we are now, and made us more hopeful about where we’re headed. #memoir #aging #personalessay
Season 2, episode 32: a good age
In the face of physical decline, how is “acceptance” not just “resignation” dressed up in zen clothing? After an injury forced him to step back from the sports that helped him feel young, Nate Davis started to reckon with his own aging--and explore how other people feel about their age. #aging #memoir #growth
