The Big Middle Susan Flory

I love this podcast. It's so insightful on so many different levels. If you have older parents who are dealing with getting on in life, this will give you a real head's up into some of the issues and learn how to help them through it. It's also great if you're heading into middle age yourself (even if you're in denial, like me!) - it's a clever way of preparing yourself for the next stage. There is also a great variety in the topics/guests. Just have a listen!

Unlike so many, Susan has a long pedegree as a leading journalist and boy does it show! She's assembled a fascinating and eclectetic group of people to interview always attached to a unifying theme of getting the best out of life in the middle years. My personal favourite is Prof Tim Noakes but just click on one that you fancy and you'll be hooked!

Loving these podcasts - Susan Flory's calm yet inquisitive tone combined with a rich source of inspirational interviewees make these rich pickings. Not only because they tackle so many facets of ageing but for the depth and breadth of research presented in an erudite yet entertaining way.
