Welcome to Learning How to Be Old. I don’t know how to be old, but I’m learning! I’m your host, Rachel McAlpine, I’m 84 and I’m pausing the podcast after this. This episode closes Season 2, and Season 3 will start with a hiss and a roar in 2025.

Who is it for? For you, if you think you might be old one day. What’s in it for you? Three useful things: a companion, an antidote to ageism, and a source of optimism. What’s in it for me? 30 per cent public service, 70 percent fun. Why stop at the mysterious number 16? And shall I read you a poem, for once?

    Great. Thank you Rachel – always lovely to listen to your thoughts, read what you’ve written or look at your photos. I like the way you see life 🙂

    I’ve just discovered your podcasts and what a great idea! My neighbour called our little over 70s soirées “the youth club”, we had dinner and tried out big words on each other, it was great fun until he “flipped and tumbled off”. Looking forward to a renewal and further season.

      What a fabulous club! Right now I’m writing some big-words small poems for a dance workshop, and my grandson sends me big words for the purpose. Yes, your youth club needs a new season too 🙂
