Kristof is the reason the podcast exists, so episode one HAD to be an interview with his brilliant self.As part of my work with Fitter Confident You, I've been exploring age, agism and aging, from an LGBTQ+ perspective - why are so many of us terrified about getting older?Kristof is so wise and brilliant and shares wonderful insights in the chat - very grateful for his time, kindness and input.Also, we need to read Maurice by EM Forster, at once!Enjoy the episode and then... Get into Kristof; stream, download and buy his amazing, empowering music!Kristóf Hajós is an Amsterdam based Hungarian queer singer, lyricist and musician. His third album 6:00PM was released digitally and on vinyl on 13 February 2025. Approaching his semi-centenary, Kristóf turns to exploring what it means to grow older in the queer community. Growing up without older role models created a gap that shaped his perspective. In recent years, he has embraced a deeper understanding of the passage of time, which is reflected in his latest batch of songs.https://open.spotify.com/artist/0CuI5h0jQKlGjLP89B2KeL?si=WVI6gaNeS06MqFXbvF4ayghttps://music.apple.com/nl/artist/krist%C3%B3f-haj%C3%B3s/1553270655?l=en-GBhttps://instagram.com/kristof.hajosConsidering some lovely, kind fitness training?
