A show about how we make the most of the time we have left. Max Linsky talks to 70 remarkable people, all over the age of 70, not just about their past but their lives right now. These are conversations about the big questions we all ask ourselves, no matter how old we are. What does it mean to live well? What are we still searching for? And how do we learn to let go?

    Ivy Insights

    The 70 Over 70 podcast is a truly remarkable and insightful show that offers wisdom and inspiration from individuals who have lived for over 70 years. The host, Max, asks thought-provoking questions, and the guests provide thoughtful and enlightening answers that we can all learn from. The theme music is also perfectly fitting and adds to the overall experience of the podcast.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is how it honors and gives a platform to elderly people. It recognizes their valuable life experiences and allows them to share their stories and insights with listeners. The host's genuine care and respect for his guests shine through in each episode, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Additionally, the interviews are conducted in a way that fosters deep understanding and connection, allowing listeners to truly connect with the stories being shared.

    Another positive aspect of this podcast is its ability to resonate with listeners of all ages. Even if we haven't experienced what the guests have gone through, we can still connect to their stories on a fundamental level. The show reminds us that wisdom knows no age limit and that there is always something valuable to learn from those who have lived longer than us.

    On the downside, some may argue that the selection of guests primarily consists of well-known figures or celebrities. While these individuals undoubtedly have fascinating stories to share, it would be interesting to hear from "normal" people with amazing experiences as well. This could provide a more diverse range of perspectives and make the podcast even more relatable for a wider audience.

    In conclusion, The 70 Over 70 podcast is an exceptional show that offers invaluable insights from individuals who have lived for over 70 years. Through respectful interviews and thoughtful questions, Max creates an environment where guests can open up about their experiences and share their wisdom with listeners. While there might be room for improvement in terms of guest selection, this podcast remains a bright spot in today's world, offering inspiration and a renewed appreciation for the wisdom of our elders.

    Hysterical investigates a mysterious illness that spreads among a group of high school girls in upstate New York. What is causing their sudden, often violent symptoms? Is there something in the water or inside the school? Or is it “all in their head?” The series examines the outbreak in LeRoy, NY, believed by some to be the most severe case of mass hysteria since the Salem Witch Trials. In his search for answers, Dan Taberski (9/12, Missing Richard Simmons, Running from Cops) explores other seemingly inexplicable events of the last few years – CIA officers being crippled with nausea and vertigo; cops OD'ing from exposure to fentanyl – and discovers they're far more connected than we realize. From Wondery and Pineapple Street Studios, this 7-part series forces us to grapple with the mysteries of our own minds, and reckon with a contagion that we thought was long dead, but may be the defining disorder of our time.
