If you're one of our older listeners, know this.
Speaker AYou're never too old to get creative with your first podcast.
Speaker ASo let's talk about Noventa y Contado, the hit podcast created by 90 year olds in Argentina.
Speaker AYou heard that right, 90 year olds doing a podcast.
Speaker AIt's become a surprise hit.
Speaker ANoventa 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 AThe podcast was born after 97 year old Alberto Chabb posted a TikTok video of a dinner with friends his age.
Speaker AIt went viral and sparked over 2,000 emails to him.
Speaker AHe realized the appetite for meaningful conversations from older voices.
Speaker AAnd then the group began meeting fortnightly and recording their conversations.
Speaker AThey've now built a digital community with a popular Instagram account of nearly 290,000 followers.
Speaker AAnd they have a successful podcast available on YouTube and Spotify.
Speaker AI'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 AHere's why the show is popular.
Speaker AIt offers an authentic and emotional intergenerational perspective that is often missing in modern media.
Speaker AIt's co created by 26 year old Guadalupe Camarati.
Speaker AThe podcast pairs Chab with different group members in each episode, moderated with a gentle and respectful tone.
Speaker AThemes include everything from tango to motivation, with a focus on staying active and fighting loneliness in old age.
Speaker ABut here's the big thing here, the cultural impact.
Speaker AIt's inspired younger generations, attracted media attention, and even helped participants like Mabel Roncaroni, who's 92, gain new English students.
Speaker AIt also challenges outdated perceptions of aging and offers a model for a creative, fulfilling life beyond 90.
Speaker AHonestly, it's a beautiful story of connection, relevance and resilience in this modern digital age.
Speaker AAnd it's powered by voices that most media usually ignores.
