from The Encore Project Podcast · host The Encore Project
Loneliness doesn't announce itself — it tends to settle in quietly after retirement, after a loss, after the routines that once kept you connected start to disappear. But connection doesn't have to disappear with them. For senior men willing to explore it, the internet offers a surprisingly rich landscape for making genuine new friends — not just scrolling past acquaintances, but building real relationships around shared interests and life experiences. In this episode, we walk through the best online platforms available to seniors today, how to use them safely and effectively, and why staying socially connected in later life isn't just good for your mood — it's good for your brain, your heart, and your longevity.
