We’re looking for support in our charity efforts! Our podcast reaches 1000’s of young listeners from across the world. Therefore, we thought we should positively make use of the large audience that we are fortunate to have and find an advertising partner to work with. We are giving away two short slots before and after each show. Our intention is to donate 100% of the advertising proceeds to Age International or an equivalent international charity of your choice that supports caring for older people in our community. If you are interested, please let us know at itstheirlives@gmail.com
There was an obvious reason for beginning this podcast "Their Lives." We want to hopefully:
1. Allow for our older generations to inspire our younger generations with their stories
2. To give our older generations a platform to collectively reminisce
3. To entertain our audience & most importantly send them on their way with lessons that they can practically use during these times.
We're also looking for feedback! If you enjoyed this podcast, please do consider leaving us a rating on Apple Podcasts so that we can reach more people with these inspiring stories. You can send me your feedback on: Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
We have also begun counting down our top 100 inspiring people over 70 to celebrate the wisdom of those who have brought so much to the world. You can find more info on our blog.
