If you're one of our older listeners, know this.

Speaker A

You're never too old to get creative with your first podcast.

Speaker A

So let's talk about Noventa y Contado, the hit podcast created by 90 year olds in Argentina.

Speaker A

You heard that right, 90 year olds doing a podcast.

Speaker A

It's become a surprise hit.

Speaker A

Noventa e Contado, which translates In English as 90 and counting, features these people sharing life stories, wisdom and discussions on topics like health, love, sex, family and of course, aging.

Speaker A

The podcast was born after 97 year old Alberto Chabb posted a TikTok video of a dinner with friends his age.

Speaker A

It went viral and sparked over 2,000 emails to him.

Speaker A

He realized the appetite for meaningful conversations from older voices.

Speaker A

And then the group began meeting fortnightly and recording their conversations.

Speaker A

They've now built a digital community with a popular Instagram account of nearly 290,000 followers.

Speaker A

And they have a successful podcast available on YouTube and Spotify.

Speaker A

I'd really love to give them some advice on making sure that their podcast is also available in Apple podcasts, but that's a topic for another day.

Speaker A

Here's why the show is popular.

Speaker A

It offers an authentic and emotional intergenerational perspective that is often missing in modern media.

Speaker A

It's co created by 26 year old Guadalupe Camarati.

Speaker A

The podcast pairs Chab with different group members in each episode, moderated with a gentle and respectful tone.

Speaker A

Themes include everything from tango to motivation, with a focus on staying active and fighting loneliness in old age.

Speaker A

But here's the big thing here, the cultural impact.

Speaker A

It's inspired younger generations, attracted media attention, and even helped participants like Mabel Roncaroni, who's 92, gain new English students.

Speaker A

It also challenges outdated perceptions of aging and offers a model for a creative, fulfilling life beyond 90.

Speaker A

Honestly, it's a beautiful story of connection, relevance and resilience in this modern digital age.

Speaker A

And it's powered by voices that most media usually ignores.
