This week on the podcast: Why do some people over 80 have the memory of a person 20 or 30 years younger? Have they discovered the fountain of youth? We ask the leading Canadian expert
Welcome back to Inside the Village, a one-of-a-kind podcast where all news is local — and no topic is off-limits.To be honest, we hadn’t even heard of the term until a few days ago — but we wanted to learn more, so we reached out to the right person: Dr. Angela Roberts, a Western University professor who also happens to be the Canadian research lead on an international study examining super agers.
A super ager, it turns out, is someone 80 or over who has the memory of a person 20 or 30 years younger. Roberts and her colleagues have actually identified quite a few, and they're learning more and more every day about what makes these special people tick. Spoiler alert: Because Roberts is an expert on aging, we couldn't finish the interview without asking her to weigh in on Joe Biden’s performance in the U.S. presidential debate. Her response may surprise you.
Hosted by Scott Sexsmith and Michael Friscolanti, the Editor-in-Chief of Village Media, Inside the Village is a news and current affairs podcast that provides a weekly window into some of the best local journalism from across our chain of Ontario newsrooms. Produced by Derek Turner, the program also explores bigger-picture issues that impact people across the province.
Every episode can be found HERE. If you prefer the audio version, it is available wherever you find your favourite podcasts.
