When Death, Sex & Money opened up the phones to talk with listeners over 60 about life today, we heard from people across the country about big changes and small ones. Here are some highlights from the special that Jo Ann co-hosted with DSM’s Anna Sale. beentheredonethatpodcast.com    

Our country is rapidly aging. People over 65 may nearly double over the next 40 years. We’re also working later, living alone more often and facing greater financial hardship.

In this bonus episode, I host the podcast Death, Sex & Money to break down some of the silence around aging by speaking with listeners about what it’s like to get older.     beentheredonethatpodcast.com deathsexmoney.org
