Seniority

WPRB News and Culture: The Pidgin has growing pains, and we can feel ourselves aging like fine wine, so today we’re talking seniority – in all the meanings of the word. We talk about the elders in our lives, and our communities, but we’re also thinking about chapters ending and beginning. Ariel Chen starts us off by reporting on this past week’s May Day protests in the community, and points to how older people are starting to become the new face of activism. For our culture segment, Margo Mattes reflects on personal stories from the drama of her grandmother’s nursing home, and reflects on how the way we feel, and interact with other people, never really changes as we move through life. Finally, for our science segment, Teo Grosu and Natalia Maidique talk to Dr. Coleen Murphy, a researcher at Princeton who studies aging in many forms, about how research often needs the space to grow and age for its true importance to be revealed. Hosted and produced by Teo Grosu and Natalia Maidique. Reported, recorded, and produced by Ariel Chen, Margo Mattes, Teo Grosu, and Natalia Maidique. All music used under Creative Commons license.
