Sixty Year Old Student

I'm just getting started !!!

After a major upheaval in life, I put a rucksack on my back and walked 615 km to Santiago de Compostella looking for an answer to the big question, "What next?". Now I am at University reading Theology, Philosophy and Ethics. I live in student accommodation and have a part-time job at the local Cathedral. I couldn't be happier and truly feel like (at the ripe old age of sixty) I'm just getting started.

Join me on my journey and maybe you can teach me a thing or two about life, too.

Episode 3 - Part 1. Ageism

Episode 3 - Part 1. Ageism

This week's recording was a long one, so I have split it up into two parts.

Part 1. Ageism.

Is it just me, or is ageism alive and kicking in society today?

I think it is.
