On this episode of Aging Unmasked, Charlie talks all about aging and love. He interviews Anne Weisbrod about the Hebrew Home at Riverdale's G-Date program. He speaks with Brian LeBlanc and Maureen Rulison about dating with dementia, and he connects with Deborah Royster of Seabury Resources for Aging about a personal story about her mother finding love later in life.

On a very special episode of Aging Unmasked, Charlie is joined by Tracey Gendron (VCU), Kirsten Jacobs, and Mia Mullen to talk about ageism and how to fight it.
