Ralph Milton, a "seriously old geezer," introduces the Well Aged Podcast, which is primarily geared toward other "very old” people. Those that are so old they might not know what a podcast even is, but they remember those old radio soap operas that were referred to as "broadcasts." Ralph was an actor in some of the worst of them (boy, were they awful!).

Now, more than half a century later, Ralph is doing a podcast, which is just another word for a broadcast, except you get it on the world wide web. And this podcast about being old. It all comes his book on the same subject called Well Aged: Making the Most of Your Platinum Years.

The Well Aged Podcast shares the good and the bad of being old, the joy and the pain of it. It's about getting the most out of those platinum years.

Old age is not for sissies, they say, which is true of course. Old age comes with a load of crud, but also a barrel of blessings.

This podcast will help the "truly old" tell stories and share insights and ideas to help deal with the crud and enjoy all the blessings.

It is for those in the old, old category, but it is also for their kids and the army of caregivers that come every day to, as Ralph says, "give us baths and help us dress and make sure we take our meds. They need to know what it's like to be old.”
