Episode 27: Why we Started (AKA Reflect, Reset)
It's been half a year, folks! Shiv and Sim take a look back at the last 26 weeks and chat about why they started this podcast, and where they hope to take it. As they review their previous topics, they discuss how this experience - something that started as a way to share their random thoughts with each other - has started to shape and crystallize their own viewpoints about aging. From the economics of aging to the psychology and the science behind it, Shiv and Sim want to expand this channel to become more than an avenue to work through their anxieties. Of course, it'll still be home for their neurotic experiences - but it's their hope that this podcast will be a platform for advocacy work and a safe space to discuss both the trials and tribulations of aging issues, without judgment. And how they hope to work with established organizations such as AARP and CanAge in the future so they can learn about and promote initiatives that work against ageism in our society.
