The older man's mirror

from The Ageing Ideal · host Uniting AgeWell

In this episode, we explore what happens when work, strength or status no longer define who you are as a man. Host Jacinta Parsons speaks with Professor Leon Flicker, journalist Geoff Hutchison and Matt Sernig, co-founder of Spoke to a Bloke. Through expert insight and lived experience, the conversation explores masculinity, identity, vulnerability and the challenges many men face as they grow older. From retirement and invisibility to grief, sexuality and emotional openness, the episode considers how older men can adapt, stay connected and find new sources of meaning. It’s a thoughtful, honest look at ageing, masculinity and who we can become in later life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
