Where and how are we all going to live in our later years? It is the question of our times. In our later years, some will live mortgage free. Others will need housemates to financially survive. For many, the shining holy grail of housing is both affordable and offers health supports in case life goes sideways. We look at two options that work: the Golden Girls co-ownership and cluster care, with Toronto's largest non-municipal provider of affordable housing where the workers, Susan Vickberg says, feel like mothers who have her back. GUESTS: Louise Bardswich, the original Golden Girl of Port Perry and Susan Vickberg, who lives in an affordable cluster care household at Woodgreen Community Services.

Life expectancy has grown exponentially in just over a generation but has society & culture caught up on how to embrace this growing slice of the population, those living longer than humans ever have? What are we going do with everybody? What are we going do with *you* if you make it to 100 (or die trying)?

In this show, we look at how we adjust to longer life expectancy at both the individual and societal level, covering big topics like work, housing, death, male loneliness and the value of measuring biological age; all grounded in real-world, practical experience and conversations.

If you're lucky, you get old. And all of us are getting older every day. So, how do you get the most life out of all the years you get? That's what we want to talk about here.

The show is hosted by Moira Welsh, Toronto Star reporter who led the Third Act Project, which challenged governments, policymakers, and institutions to improve the way we live in our later years.
