A podcast dedicated to living well with an aging brain
Over the last century, the way we age has changed dramatically. Millions of us are living into our 70s, 80s, and even 90s. This longevity revolution presents us with a new challenge: How can we live well with an aging brain?
What does it mean to grow older with dignity, purpose, and quality of mind? How do we live well with cognitive changes, the work of caregiving, or both? The Age of Aging, a biweekly podcast from the Penn Memory Center, explores these questions. The Age of Aging inspires listeners to reflect with insight, compassion, and creativity. The result? Practical wisdom.
Hosts Terrence Casey and Jake Johnson are in conversation with researchers, innovators, creators, thinkers, and persons living with diseases that cause dementia and their caregivers. Each episode challenges how we think about growing older, and what it means to have quality of mind in the face of aging and disease.
The Age of Aging is recorded and produced at the Michael Naidoff Communications Hub at Penn Memory Center.
