Introducing a new podcast about an unpopular topic: old age

Have you had a wake-up birthday, when you realise with a shock that you are no longer young? And yet life is long: if you’re 50+ you might live for another 30 or 40 years. It’s hard to imagine what life might be like when you are old, so consider this old age podcast a quiet little taster. I’m an old poet from New Zealand, name of Rachel McAlpine, keen to tell you about the weird side of old age including many unexpected pleasures. (Yes, you read that right.) Season 1 starts here.
