The John Oakley Show #0002

from The John Oakley Show Hosted by AM640 / Curiouscast

In this episode of The John Oakley Show, we dive into the buzzworthy hot-mic conversation between Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping about extending human life to 150 years—and even achieving immortality. John speaks with Dr. Olshansky, professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of Illinois, to separate science from science fiction. They explore the ethics, realities, and myths of radical life extension, the role of organ transplants, and what longer lifespans would mean for society, retirement, and health care. Later in the show, John turns to economics with risk management consultant John Turley-Ewart. They discuss Mark Carney’s new measures to cushion Canadians against Donald Trump’s tariffs, the suspension of EV mandates, and whether upcoming budget changes will be enough to restore investor confidence and address rising unemployment.
