Century Lives
If there is one thing we know about retirement, it’s that the rules are changing. Longer life, better health, changing work conditions, and challenging financial times mean that the new retirement will be different from the old. But how will it be different? In Season 5 of Century Lives, we explore the new retirement through the stories of eight different employees of Harris Health, the largest public health system in Texas. The employees are united by the fact that they share the same workplace, but they are divided by very different personal stories and goals – and very different financial situations. They are nurses, doctors, carpenters, CEOs, and security officers, and they are imagining very different retirements.
Fascinating podcast

I love the show for its deep and thoughtful approach to longevity questions. It goes beyond just healthspan, addressing topics like financial independence, ageism, and new approaches to careers. It’s truly about the entire lifespan!
Well-Researched, Entertaining and Insightful

Ken Stern and his colleagues unpack the implications of longer lives - Century Lives — from a variety of angles financial, social, global, dimensions of place/geography and more. The content is highly relevant for people of any age. So grateful for the 6 seasons and counting…
Fascinating!

Well-thought out series, taking us though many issues, easy-going narrator, great selection of commentators, both academics and regular people describing issues they have encountered. Well worth my time!
Bad take on aging.

The whole idea behind the series it an effort to present people from the privileged background- think rich- as living longer, own their business, and are somehow comparable to the vast majority of people. They do not plan to retire, and why should they when they are the owner of the business? No one is standing over them and making them work. Somehow, this podcast is trying to convince us that we should simply work until death. And be happy about it! What a nonsense.
