Episode Synopsis

Send us a textIn this episode of the podcast Oldish: Conversations on Aging in the 21st Century co-hosts Dr. Janet Price and Gregg Kaloust have a lively riff on a quotation from The Hunger Games - "May the odds always be in your favor". What does that saying, in the context of The Hunger Games hard look at a dystopian future, mean for we who are Oldish? Are we already in a dystopian future, in ourselves, our bodies, and our society? What, if anything, can we do about it? Is despair the only response?Support the showOldish is now on substack!
