Age Blind

As Bradley Schurman's Amazon book page says, "A demographic futurist explains the coming Super Age—when there will be more people older than sixty-five than those under the age of eighteen—and explores what it could mean for our collective future." That's exactly what Bradley and I talk about! You'll hear answers to questions like: Who is a Super Ager? Why does the media "get it wrong" so often? What's ahead for the aging population? One of today's leading authorities and futurists on aging, Shurman will share his data-based perspective with candor and humor.

Along with sex, food, and religion, money is often a topic of shame and confusion for many people. As we age, we think about our financial situation in a different way from our youth. Michelle Evard-Moses, CFP talks about the role of money in our lives, eliminating the stress surrounding it, and questions we should ask ourselves as we travel beyond 50. (Please consult your own financial advisor for specific recommendations; this is intended just as a discussion of values and best practices.)

As she does every quarter, Nancy goes solo and unplugged, musing about her life, observations, and goals. This episode revolves around what she needs to trash and burn as she heads into spring.

Habit, belief, and behavior change can be difficult at any age. To "celebrate" the halfway mark of my annual podcast subscription (which I'll definitely renew), I host Brian Howie, "The Podfather" for the third time. We talk about when to change, how to change, what to change, and how people can sometimes get "stuck". We review the 6 steps towards making change and the 10 factors that can lead to rebooting your brain.

Billie Best is the author of Clitapalooza, a novel about a woman, a sexy chatbot, and her vibrator (and privacy violations that can emerge from sextech innovation). The Geezer-Proofer is all about sex, tech, and life and this episode is the trifecta. A sequel to our "Power of the Penis" episode, Billie and I talk frankly about what goes on "down there," the misconceptions about cunnilingus and G-spots, the myths about aging and sex, and why we need to normalize the vagina and its surrounding area.

Lots of people have opinions about things and people over 50. But, as Jack Webb in Draget used to say, "Just the facts, ma'am!" And Jeff Weiss,, President of The Age of Majority finds (and shares) the facts. A TEDx Speaker, he crafts and publishes Revolution55 mini-polls to get to the heart of what consumers over 55 REALLY think and want. We talk about some of his wildest questions, surprising answers, and the differences between perception and quantifiable facts.

From cave days (when people would gather around the fire) to quilting bees to the Woodstock era, people have had a need to convene, celebrate, talk, learn, dance and make lifelong friends. The power of the shared experience is alive and well. Diana Place, founder of Third Act Quest, has created her own powerful community of women of a certain age. She'll be bringing them together in Rhode Island in May. Find out why and learn about why gatherings will never go away -- and why they may be even more important as we age.

If you love to write, paint, collage, drum or strum, or simply doodle you can start a new crative venture at any age. Stella Fosse started writing erotica for women over 50 as her second career and never looked back. She is now a novelist and runs workshops for writers. We talk about how to re-discover your inner artist (whatever that means to you) and build creativity into this phase of your life -- or any phase for that matter!

Limp penis? Dry vagina? Fear of either? Do not despair -- at any age! Paul Gittens MD of the Rockwell centers for Sexual Medicine & Wellness talks about everything from ED to penis pumps to hormone therapy.
