Aging Literacy

Dr. Bill Thomas

What if everything you’ve been told about aging is wrong? Our culture tells us that aging will change us against our will, and for the worse. Internationally acclaimed longevity expert Dr. Bill Thomas argues that this is false. Joined by co-host and performer Nate Silas Richardson in the only “Physician and Musician” duo, The Aging Literacy Podcast challenges listeners to reject ageist stereotypes and explore aging as a vivid and enlivening process that presents us with extraordinary risks, and rewards.
