Getting Real About Getting Older
b'I don\\u2019t think that as a culture, we talk enough about getting older, and when we do, we don\\u2019t often do it well. It\'s time to have better conversations about aging\\u2014and we\'re going to do it with the help of veteran public radio anchor Jo Ann Allen.\\n\\nJo Ann is the host of the podcast Been There Done that, a show about and for the Baby Boom generation.\\xa0As she tells me, "I am 67 years old, and I am really into older people!\\xa0[...] I love, without a doubt, up and down, over and under, in and out, being an older person and getting older." Over the next few weeks, Jo Ann is going to be stepping into the host chair and recording some interviews with older listeners in our audience about what it\'s like to be aging, and what questions are coming up for you\\u2014especially in this moment. I can\'t wait for you to meet her.\\n\\nAre you over 60? We want to hear from you! What\'s your life look like right now?
