#189: Summer Replay – Ageism Unmasked, a conversation with Tracey Gendron, PhD

August 23, 2022

Twisting The Plot

Podcast

56 Minutes Here’s a twist for you. We are getting tired of promoting “successful aging” and no longer want to buy into the social construct that defines aging and being old as a problem to avoid.  We don’t know about you, but we are getting old… and loving it.

August 9, 2022

Twisting The Plot

#185: Consider the Hag, with Marianne Franzese

June 28, 2022

Twisting The Plot

Podcast

53 Minutes Consider the Hag. Will You? Most of us cringe at the mention of her.  We would just as soon keep her banished to the deep woods.  Who can blame us?   She is rot, she is ugly, she does not follow our rules. She has one foot on the other side; death. The Hag embodies suffering, a weathering by life; she stands for oldness. She is not who we want to become. But…Marianne...
