Some people think growing older is a bummer. But guess what, it doesn’t have to be. Last week we were in high school, today we're in a retirement home and lining up for dinner at 4:30. As we navigate the troubled waters of old age, it seems like everything hurts. We lose hair. We lose our minds. We’re now the generation we used to giggle about. Many of us just give up. We feel sorry for ourselves. We shuffle quietly into the night wondering if we'll last through the latest Netflix series. The good news is these can be the best years of our lives! We’re here to help you do that. To help you laugh a little. To help you feel a little better about getting older. We’ll give you some things to smile about. We’ll bring you experts in aging who’ll do wonders for you! Hints on how to live better and maybe even live longer. So, welcome to “The Our Time Podcast,” the podcast for people 75+!
