Published on 26 February 2025 11:49 AM

Age UK Norwich is excited to announce the launch of the Older and Bolder Pod, a new podcast dedicated to living well in later life.

Hosted by recently retired broadcasters Louise Priest and Mike Talbot, the podcast will delve into the world after work, offering insightful discussions, expert guests, and plenty of light-hearted moments.

In each fortnightly episode, Louise and Mike will share their personal experiences, compare notes, and explore the challenges and joys of life after retirement. The duo will be joined by a variety of expert guests to discuss important issues affecting people in later life, from managing identity changes to finding new social connections and purpose.

Episode One and Two Now Live

The first episodes are now available to listen. In their inaugural episode, Mike and Louise open up about the transition into retirement, including the emotional aspects of losing work identity, finding time for new hobbies, and navigating the changes in relationships with colleagues and friends. Plus, listeners will get Mike's first cash-saving tip on "Mike On The Money" and some sage words of wisdom from "The Priest in the Pulpit."

The podcast is a fresh, engaging resource for those in retirement or approaching it, offering practical advice, relatable stories, and much-needed support for this life stage.

Sponsorship by Age UK Norwich

As part of its 80th birthday celebrations, Age UK Norwich is proudly sponsoring the Older and Bolder Pod. This partnership reflects the organization's ongoing commitment to supporting older people in the region, providing them with the resources and platforms they need to thrive in later life.
