This podcast started with a simple but powerful belief… how we care for people as they age defines us as a society.

Now with more than 160,000 downloads and national recognition, we’re proud to say that Coming of Age is changing the conversation on aging and care.

By 2040, the population over 80 will more than double, but our perceptions of aging and plans for seniors’ care innovation have not kept pace.

Let’s change the conversation.

Season 5 begins this fall. We’re tackling the misconceptions, the stigma, the uncomfortable truths about ageism and the assumptions too many of us carry.

From trauma-informed care for veterans, to the urgent need for new spaces, to the hidden ways long-term care intersects with housing, health and our economy. There is a lot to uncover.

Follow Coming of Age wherever you get your podcasts.

With thanks to our listeners, Coming of Age is now an award-winning podcast, recognized for excellence in public service by the 2024 Signal Awards and outstanding podcast hosting by MarCom Awards 2024.
