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?
From personal stories of dementia to cutting-edge science, global innovations in aging care, and real strategies for navigating memory loss, The Age of Aging covers it all. Each episode tackles timely topics at the intersection of aging, identity, memory, and care.
The Age of Aging is recorded and produced at the Michael Naidoff Communications Hub at Penn Memory Center.
Season 5 is made possible through support from the TIAA Institute and Rothkoff Law Group.

“What a deeply meaningful and special podcast this was! My husband and I shared a relationship much like Lois and Dan’s. I remember so well being in Lois’s place—walking beside my husband as his care partner, especially during the stage Dan is in now. Lois is doing a remarkable job and, I’m sure, has her “moments.” I look forward to exploring more about the caregiving journey and how caregivers often lose touch with their own identity as they step so fully into the life of their loved one.”

“This was my first time listening to your podcast. I’m so happy I found it! Helpful and a bit inspirational as I never thought of myself as particularly creative but I do love doodling and trying to work with my hands. Now I’ll try more.”
