#121 - Ageism

🎧 NEW PODCAST EPISODEEpisode 121 – AgeismIn this episode, Andy and Roger tackle the prickly topic of ageism, a bias that might just be the last socially acceptable prejudice. Kicking off with a wry observation about their own impending 40th birthdays, the duo dive into the subtle and not-so-subtle ways ageism manifests in the workplace and society.They explore the double-edged sword of experience versus youth, discussing how older job applicants often face invisible barriers, while younger workers struggle to be taken seriously. The conversation broadens to examine cultural differences in attitudes towards the elderly, comparing Western norms with societies like Japan, where seniors are respected (but perhaps still nudged into menial roles).The episode also veers into broader philosophical questions about ageing, generational divides, and the shifting dynamics of family support.
