What\\u2019s better than \\u2018talking shop\\u2019 with a serious and sensational sister traveler? That was the joy that TOB experienced when we interviewed Sari Botton, founder of the recently-launched substack magazine, Oldster. Oldster takes a fresh look at what it means to age at any stage of life, featuring writers of all genders and age groups. It fully reflects the brilliance and wizardry of Sari who, at 56 years old, bring decades of writing, editing and teaching experience including as former Essays Editor for\\xa0Longreads; editor of the award-winning anthology\\xa0Goodbye to All That: Writers on Loving and Leaving NY\\xa0and its New York Times-Bestselling follow-up,\\xa0Never Can Say Goodbye: Writers on Their Unshakable Love for NY. We met Sari almost ten years ago when she co-directed the upstate New York story-telling initiative TMI Project. She is a storyteller extraordinaire, a musician, a time traveler joyously struggling \\u2013 like all of us \\u2013 to figure out what is \\u2018age appropriate\\u2019 and shoring up future plans by buying lottery tickets! We hope you\\u2019ll listen in, subscribe to Oldster, listen to the Oldster podcast, and stay tuned to TOB as we continue to explore storytelling in future episodes. \\xa0
