Our second hour reviews the surging national debate over age limits for politicians, breaking down the polling, medical research, and high‑profile public statements that have pushed this once‑taboo question into the mainstream. It’s a data‑driven look at why nearly four out of five Americans now say it’s time to rethink who’s old enough to lead — and what that shift means for the future of political power. The show then wraps with an interview featuring Ela Thier, author of How to Fail as an Artist, a candid, craft‑sharp examination of why creative careers stall and how to build a practice rooted in honesty rather than hype. Thier’s blend of memoir and tough‑minded guidance reframes “failure” as a necessary — and often liberating — part of making real art.
