In this episode, we explore what happens when work, strength or status no longer define who you are as a man.

Host Jacinta Parsons speaks with Professor Leon Flicker, journalist Geoff Hutchison and Matt Sernig, co-founder of Spoke to a Bloke.

Through expert insight and lived experience, the conversation explores masculinity, identity, vulnerability and the challenges many men face as they grow older.

From retirement and invisibility to grief, sexuality and emotional openness, the episode considers how older men can adapt, stay connected and find new sources of meaning.

It’s a thoughtful, honest look at ageing, masculinity and who we can become in later life.

The Ageing Ideal

We’re all ageing; it’s one of life’s greatest privileges.

The Ageing Ideal is not just another podcast about ageing. Each episode brings together people from all walks of life, their experience and asks questions to ignite a new conversation about getting older and how we can break down barriers.

We’re delighted to bring you Season Two, where the conversation gets even more interesting.

With our host, ABC radio broadcaster Jacinta Parsons, we challenge the perception that older people need to be wrapped in cotton wool. We discuss love at any age, grand parenting, the concept of joy and ask the question, what would we say to our younger self in the episode Dear younger me.
