“People do feel pressured to age well, but that means different things to different people.”
EPISODE 11 | 33 min | May 16, 2024
Many people believe that life improves with age: You're wiser, you let go a little, and you enjoy life more. But our culture's spin on the loss of youth can be prickly, often challenging these convictions and stirring up debate.
Author Sari Botton sits at the heart of this conversation. Sari is the publisher of Oldster Magazine, a popular publication on Substack that explores what it means and feels like to move through different phases of life. Her weekly Q&A interviews have drawn a vibrant and vocal community of writers and readers who opine on issues ranging from visibility to sexuality. Nothing's off limits.
"It's been a lifelong fascination for me," says Sari, about aging. And she's not alone. Spend five minutes in the magazine's comments section, and it's like being welcomed to a lively dinner party where every guest lives life to the fullest.
