Podcasts about Ageism

Hot flashes. Brain fog. Sleepless nights. For too long, we've mislabeled midlife women's health as burnout, anxiety, or a loss of ambition. But what if the real issue isn't performance — it's hormones? In this episode of Hello Monday, Jessi Hempel talks with Joanna Strober, founder and CEO of Midi Health, about menopause, perimenopause, hormone therapy, and power at work. Together, they unpack how gaps in women's healthcare during midlife are quietly pushing talented leaders out of the workforce at the exact moment they should be accelerating. After struggling to get proper treatment for her own perimenopause symptoms, Joanna built Midi Health to deliver insurance-covered, expert virtual care focused on women in midlife. This conversation goes beyond hot flashes — it's about workplace equity, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), ageism, health misdiagnoses, and why normalizing menopause could unlock a generation of leadership. Because menopause isn't a road bump, with the right care, it can be a power surge. Jessi and Joanna discuss: The difference between perimenopause and menopause, and why the distinction matters for women's health at work Why 1 in 5 women in their 40s are prescribed SSRIs — and how hormonal shifts are often overlooked Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and non-hormonal menopause treatments The workplace impact of untreated menopause symptoms, including research showing women may lose authority during visible symptoms like hot flashes How employers can support midlife women through better insurance coverage  Ageism in the workplace — and why women in their 50s may be primed for peak performance How normalizing menopause conversations can help women reclaim power Follow Joanna Strober and Jessi Hempel on LinkedIn.

Ageism rules again on the Benchwarmers Trivia Podcast as Luks continues to receive unprovoked strays related to his age. The team briefly discussed Luks' teammates at Pyramid University, and when Luks has his come to Moses (Malone?) moment. Still, the teams survive. Mason has a particularly low energy check-in (certainly not because he is perturbed by a question!). But after all, this is not Rocket Science! Dave asserts that we should beep out Mark Reynolds, just for being Mark Reynolds.

If you've ever hidden in the back of a family photo, skipped a headshot session, or cringed when you saw a candid picture of yourself, this episode is for you.I sat down with Kristen Vallejo, a portrait and branding photographer based in upstate New York, who has made it her mission to help women feel comfortable and confident being seen. In this conversation, we unpack why so many of us (especially women navigating midlife) have such a complicated relationship with being photographed. We talk about the role social media has played in making us feel like every picture has to be perfect, why menopause can make it even harder to recognize yourself in photos, and how we can start to shift that.One of the most powerful reframes Kristen shares is this: visibility is generosity. When you hide from the camera, you're also withholding yourself ( your gifts, your presence, your relatability) from the people who need to see you. That hit me in a deep way, and I think it will for you too.We also talk about body diversity and representation, why photographers aren't looking at you with the critical lens you're using on yourself, and some practical tips to make any photo session feel less like a pressure cooker.Kristen's missing ingredient in midlife? Novelty. And I love that answer.In this episode, we cover:Why so many women approach the camera with terror, and what's underneath itHow social media has raised the bar for "acceptable" photos and what that costs usWhy going through menopause can make seeing yourself in photos feel particularly confrontingWhat body neutrality looks like in practice, even in a portrait sessionThe power of representation and why your visible presence matters more than you thinkPractical tips for preparing for a photo session without the overwhelmAbout Kristen Vallejo: Kristen Vallejo is a portrait and branding photographer based in upstate New York, specializing in entrepreneurs, small business owners, and those with animals in their work. She's passionate about capturing the real person behind the lens — not just a polished pose.

On episode 733 of the 40+ Fitness Podcast, we have a fascinating conversation with Ken Stern, author of Healthy to 100: How Strong Social Ties Lead to Long Lives. Ken is a nationally recognized expert on longevity and aging, founder of the Longevity Project, and host of the Century Lives podcast at Stanford. In this episode, Ken Stern and Allan dive deep into the evolving science of longevity, shining a light on the critical role that social ties and connections play in our health, happiness, and longevity—often as important as diet or exercise. They explore how changing demographics, lifelong learning, intergenerational relationships, and even ageism impact the way we live and age today. Whether you want to stay healthy, keep your mind sharp, or simply ensure you're thriving well into your later years, this conversation offers practical strategies and inspiring insights.

 “What we call a risk is often just hanging on to a reality that may no longer be true.” In this episode I chat with Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, a global expert on 21st-century leadership, gender and generational balance, longevity, and the future of work. We explore the Four Quarter Lives framework (Q1 Grow, Q2 Achieving, Q3 Becoming, Q4 Harvesting), why lifespans are getting longer, and what that means for individuals, teams, and organizations. Our conversation covers practical changes for workplaces, the reframing of aging beyond decline, how to approach risk in midlife, and how to design careers and communities for longer, more purposeful lives. The episode includes guidance on leadership strategy, intergenerational collaboration, and personal planning for a longer horizon. Key takeaways - The Four Quarter Lives framework reframes a 100-year life into four 25-year phases: Grow (Q1), Achieving (Q2), Becoming (Q3), Harvesting (Q4). This helps individuals and organizations plan for longer, more varied careers. - Achieving (Q2) is not the endpoint; Q3 is a peak period for meaningful work, mentorship, and legacy-building, especially for women who have faced traditional juggling pressures. - Q4 is not decline; it's a time for legacy, contribution, and intergenerational engagement. As lifespans extend, many will shift toward continued purpose, learning, and mentoring. - Ageism and DEI shouldn't be the starting frame for addressing aging in organizations. Instead, demographics should be integrated into strategic planning at the executive level to influence talent, markets, and long-term resilience. - Midlife is a critical transition - often mischaracterized as a crisis. A proactive “midlife rethink” helps people plan for a longer horizon and avoid stagnation. - Intergenerational connections are valuable. Practical ideas like Generations Over Dinner can foster mutual understanding and collaboration across age groups. - The conversation emphasizes resilience and opportunity: risk should be reframed as choosing growth over clinging to a status quo that no longer aligns with longer, healthier lifespans.   Resources and links mentioned - Four Quarter Lives podcast: https://www.avivahwittenbergcox.com/podcasts/4-quarter-lives  - Elderberries Substack: https://elderberries.substack.com/  - 20 First: https://20-first.com/  - Generations Over Dinner: https://www.generationsoverdinner.com/  — a practical way to connect different age groups - The Correspondent by Virginia Evans: https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-correspondent-virginia-evans/7732977    Who should listen - Midcareer professionals (especially those in their 40s–60s) planning for longer, more varied career lives - Leaders and HR/talent professionals shaping long-term workforce strategy and age-inclusive growth - Anyone interested in reframing aging, intergenerational collaboration, and longevity as a positive opportunity   If you enjoy the podcast please help us grow by sharing this episode, or writing a review.

Get ready for a high-octane episode, as Joel Cheesman and Emi Beredugo take the mic to dissect everything from "bougie" McDonald's Valentine's stunts to the high-stakes world of Big Tech. The duo dives deep into Rippling's bold Super Bowl debut featuring Tim Robinson, debating whether the "evil genius" move is a brilliant recruitment play or a calculated nod to Wall Street. While Microsoft celebrates a massive LinkedIn revenue milestone—proving the platform has officially pivoted from a resume database to a short-form video powerhouse—the hosts shift gears to the grittier side of the job hunt. From the rise of "Resume Botox" and ageism to the "resume slop" currently clogging AI-driven hiring funnels, the gloves come off. Plus, don't miss the heated critique of ZipRecruiter's new "Be Seen First" feature, which Emi and Joel argue might be doing more harm than good for the modern candidate.

Maureen dispels the myth that gets in the way of many high-performing business leaders who are in transition—after they've sold a business, in between corporate roles, or seeking board mandates. Time stamps1:26 – The Ageism Myth1:58 – The Belief2:47 – Signal Mismatch3:30 – Overqualified Misalignment4:10 – Between Roles4:15 – Interpreting Silence5:15 – Professional Networks5:28 – High Performing Leaders5:50 – Role Altitude6:22 – Reframe7:02 - RealignmentWestgate Executive BrandingOur Main Event!Listen on SpotifyListen on Apple Podcasts

It is such a pleasure to welcome Jacynth Bassett, the founder of Ageism Is Never In Style onto the podcast.Ageism Is Never In Style is an incredible consultancy and community platform for age inclusivity and intergenerational connection. Jacynth founded it in 2016 and it has led to her being labelled one of "22 Londoners Changing the World". Jacynth's mission is to "change hearts & minds around age, empower every life stage, and drive positive commercial and cultural transformation" and boy is she doing a great job of it.During the podcast we have the most amazing conversation about the work that Jacynth is doing and how she feels about the beauty industry's attitude towards ageing. We have a really honest and I think powerful chat about what needs to change and how we can get to a place where all ages are respected and can work together to make positive change.This episode is fascinating and as you can imagine, I LOVE the work Jacynth is doing. This is a real must listen.

Fiona Lambert on Ageism, Reinvention & Why Women Are Far From Invisible After 60In a society where age is too often mistaken for irrelevance,  Fiona Lambert is powerfully rewriting the narrative.In this inspiring episode, Fiona—one of the UK fashion industry's most influential figures—shares her extraordinary journey of reinvention, confidence, and purpose after 60. After a 37-year career shaping major high-street brands including Jaeger, for Marks & Spencer, Next, and George, Fiona found herself facing redundancy just three months before her 60th birthday. What could have been a breaking point became a defining moment.Fiona opens up about the emotional impact of ageing in an industry obsessed with youth, admitting, “The sound of saying I was 60 felt old in my head.” That feeling will resonate deeply with many women who don't recognise themselves in society's narrow definition of ageing.This conversation tackles ageism head-on, including the stark reality that while people over 60 make up a quarter of the population and control over a quarter of the UK's wealth, they appear in just 3% of advertising. Rather than shrinking, Fiona chose visibility—and action.Determined to explore what her body was truly capable of, Fiona committed to fitness, strength, and health. She went on to share her  personal training and nutrition, with realistic, accessible fitness advice for women with busy lives. What began as a personal challenge soon evolved into a thriving online platform and a renewed sense of purpose.At the heart of Fiona's philosophy is mindset. Drawing on her background in life coaching, she explains why comparison is never a strong enough motivator and why personal purpose matters far more than chasing someone else's image. Her bestselling book,  Invincible Not Invisible, reflects this belief—encouraging women not just to change their bodies, but to reclaim confidence, visibility, and self-belief.Fiona also shares the five principles that underpin her approach to life and wellbeing:Purpose. Preparation. Perseverance. People. Positivity.This episode is a rallying call for women to prioritise self-care, challenge outdated narratives around age, and step fully into the next chapter of their lives—with strength, clarity, and confidence.As Fiona so powerfully asks:“Why should women become invisible at 60?”Topics covered:Ageism and visibility • Reinvention after 60 • Women and confidence • Fitness and strength over 60 • Mindset and purpose • Life after redundancy • Fashion industry insights • Personal development • Nutrition and wellbeing • Empowerment at every ageThank you for listening to the Liberté – Free to Be podcast.

In this powerful and deeply relevant conversation, Di Gillett is joined by Maddy Dychtwald, globally recognised futurist, author, and co-founder of Age Wave - to challenge outdated narratives around aging, retirement, women's health and relevance.Women are living longer than ever before - yet spending more years in declining health. Maddy unpacks why lifespan is the least useful measure of aging, why healthspan and brainspan matter far more, and how up to 90% of our long-term health outcomes are within our control.This conversation goes well beyond theory. From inflammation, menopause, and Alzheimer's risk, to workforce ageism, outdated retirement models, and the power of lifestyle choice, this episode is a call to reclaim agency - personally, professionally, and biologically.This is not about anti-aging. It's about aging with authority, vitality, and intention. We explore: Why women are winning the longevity lottery, but paying a hidden price The critical difference between lifespan, healthspan and brainspan How inflammation accelerates aging - and what actually reduces it Why women are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's The outdated retirement model that no longer serves women or economies Ageism as the last socially acceptable bias Why older women are an untapped workforce advantage How purpose, attitude, and social connection directly impact longevity The lifestyle levers that matter most - beyond diet and exercise.

Author and activist Ashton Applewhite joins Dori Mintzer to expose how ageism, more than aging itself, undermines health, purpose, and connection across the lifespan. Drawing on her book This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism and her decades of work at the forefront of the anti-ageism movement, Ashton explains how internalized, interpersonal, and structural ageism show up in everyday life and what it takes to challenge them. She also introduces YODA (Youngers and Olders Dismantling Ageism), a new initiative inviting people of different ages to come together, talk about power, and build alliances for a more just, age-inclusive world.What We Talk AboutHow Ashton first “woke up” to aging and discovered how wrong most of our assumptions about later life really are.What ageism is, where the term came from, and how it operates alongside racism, sexism, and ableism.Internalized ageism and the everyday language and beliefs that limit both “youngers” and “olders”.Chrono normativity and why life is not a linear timeline with fixed ages for work, family, and retirement.Why the U.S. is highly age-segregated and how mixed-age relationships reduce prejudice and enrich everyone's lives.The origins of Old School: The Anti-Ageism Clearinghouse and its evolution into the Old School Hub.YODA: what Youngers and Olders Dismantling Ageism is, why it centers conversations about power, and how anyone can try it in their community, workplace, or family.Practical ways to respond to ageist comments, question generational stereotypes, and design more inter-age programs and communities.About the Guest: Ashton ApplewhiteAshton Applewhite is an internationally recognized expert on ageism and the author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism. She is the co-founder of Old School, a global hub that curates free, anti-ageism resources and convenes people working to advance age equity around the world.​Ashton speaks widely at venues including the United Nations and the TED main stage, and has been a leading voice in making age a recognized dimension of diversity. In 2022, the United Nations named her one of the “Healthy Aging 50,” honoring 50 leaders transforming the world to be a better place to grow older.Connect with Ashton ApplewhiteWebsite: This Chair RocksBook: This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against AgeismLinkedIn: Ashton ApplewhiteWhat to do next: Click to grab our free guide, 10 Key Issues to Consider as You Explore Your Retirement Transition Please leave a review at Apple Podcasts.

It doesn't matter whether you're 25 or 55. If you speak and people listen politely but not seriously, it hurts. Too young to be trusted.Too old to be creative.The message lands the same way. You are not seen. You are not heard. You are not valued.Ageism cuts in both directions and it leaves a quiet bruise that people carry long after the moment passes.How does this happen in Public Relations, a profession built on understanding people? It does.

70% of women who took career breaks struggle with decreased confidence when trying to re-enter. Add in ageism, the motherhood penalty, and AI screening resumes? People are hitting their heads against the wall in this brutal job market.But what if you could bypass the nail-biting interviews altogether?Here's job sharing's best-kept secret for career relaunches: Find your partner FIRST. Have them pitch you as a team. Get built-in mentorship as you upskill on the job—like an old-school apprenticeship.Instead of explaining resume gaps and competing against uninterrupted work histories, you're partnering with someone already valued and trusted. You're offering a high-performing team, not asking for a chance.In episode 58:Why relaunches are harder than ever (ageism + AI HR + motherhood penalty)The confidence crisis no one's talking about

 ”Dorothy's tale of how she and her husband ended up together implies that he slipped her something and had sex with her. Without protection… Yeah…” - Susan Lambert HatemSusan Lambert Hatem and Sharon Johnson dive deep in this episode into the beloved TV show 'The Golden Girls,' discussing its groundbreaking impact and the not-so-great aspects.

Hire Yourself Podcast with Pete GilfillanAgeism is real, and it's accelerating. In this reuploaded episode, Pete breaks down how executives in their late 40s, 50s, and 60s can protect themselves from being pushed out of corporate life before they're ready. With layoffs rising, loyalty disappearing, and older leaders being overlooked or replaced, Pete outlines eight practical steps to stay relevant, protect your income, and build long-term security.In this episode, Pete discusses:Acknowledging ageism as a real threat Ageism is growing across industries. Recognizing the bias early helps you prepare and take strategic action before it impacts your career.Modernizing your resume and online presence Showcasing recent accomplishments, updated skills, and new certifications helps counter the perception that older executives aren't up to date.Continuing to build and demonstrate leadership Senior-level leaders bring decades of experience. Highlighting decision-making skills, innovation, and cross-generational leadership reinforces your value.Leveraging your network and building mentorship Strong professional relationships increase your visibility, create opportunities, and help validate your expertise.Upskilling and reskilling to stay relevant Staying current with technology, AI, data, and new systems demonstrates adaptability and commitment to growth.Leading multi-generational teams Showing strength in mentoring younger talent and collaborating across age groups helps counter age-based assumptions.Creating a Plan B through business ownership Real estate, consulting, and especially semi-absentee franchise ownership can help create income security when corporate roles disappear.Advocating for yourself in the workplace Communicating your value and maintaining visibility helps reduce the impact of bias, even in environments where ageism is never openly acknowledged.Key Takeaways:Ageism is real, rising, and impacting executives earlier than ever.Fifty percent of corporate executives over 50 are pushed out before they are ready.Only ten percent of those who get pushed out earn the same or more in their next role.You must protect yourself before ageism hits, not after.Building income security outside of corporate — especially through semi-absentee franchise ownership — creates real stability and control.A side business gives you a runway, a pivot point, and a safety net when corporate life shifts unexpectedly.“Ageism is unavoidable, but being unprepared is optional. Build something on the side so you're never caught flat footed.” — Pete GilfillanCONNECT WITH PETE GILFILLAN:

Ageism might not be the first ‘ism' that comes to mind in healthcare, but it's one that affects every provider eventually. Today's guest, Cynthia Farina, DNP, CRNA, RN, CNE, is an educator who has devoted much of her life to advocating for wellness, inclusion, and professional longevity. She joins Kevin and Charity to break down the subtle ways age bias shows up in anesthesia—from assumptions about “slowing down” to underestimating younger providers—and how both ends of the spectrum can experience its effects. Dr. Farina was recently part of an AANA webinar titled Respect Across the Lifespan: Tackling Ageism in Anesthesia, and her message today is clear: if you're lucky, you'll age too—so build a profession that welcomes wisdom, not just youth. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

In previous episodes, we've discussed how stereotypical gay culture has idolized youth, beauty, and sex. This fixation has led some gay men to equate midlife with “aging out” of the community, often resulting in internalized shame and a complicated relationship with aging.In this episode, Hunter Flournoy, a licensed therapist, coach, breathworker, healer, and spiritual guide, joins us to talk about how gay men can confront ageism and create more fulfilling, authentic lives in midlife and beyond.Related Episodes:Listen to Episode 60.

In this episode of the Glowing Older podcast, host NancyGriffin interviews Jacynth Bassett, founder and CEO of Ageism is Never In Style®. They discuss the importance of age inclusivity, the challenges of combating ageism, and the progress made in the last decade. Jacynth shares insights on the business case for age diversity, the role of language in shaping perceptions, and the global movement towards recognizing the value of aging well.About JacynthJacynth Bassett is an award-winning, global expert, thoughtleader, and keynote speaker on age-inclusivity, longevity, andintergenerational strategy. She is Founder and CEO of Ageism Is Never In Style®, the leading consultancy and platform driving business and cultural change around age and generations.Through a holistic approach combining strategy and thoughtleadership, talent and market insight, and community and cultural influence, Jacynth empowers clients to turn age and generational inclusivity into a competitive advantage.Her global work - from consulting with Fortune 500s to SMEsand non-profits, to creating viral, groundbreaking campaigns including #ILookMyAge (45+ million views), to hosting an intergenerational community of 300k+ with a 90-day reach of 10 million - is indisputably changing narratives and hearts and minds, pioneering both businesses and individuals to embrace age-inclusivity.She has been recognized as one of the Evening Standard's “22Londoners Changing the World,” Anti-Ageist Activist of the Year, and awarded the Exceptional Achievement Award at the Silver Marketing Association 2025 Awards. At the core of her work is a bold, intergenerational ethos, making her one of the most influential voices shaping age and generational inclusivity today and tomorrow.Key TakeawaysThe World Health Organization reports that one in twopeople holds strong ageist beliefs. Often hidden in humor or everyday interactions, ageism can be subtle yet pervasive. Education and awareness are essential to overcoming internalized ageism.Language shapes how we perceive aging and can shiftattitudes and beliefs. While brands may show age diversity in images, their messaging often undermines it through word choice.Age inclusiveness is a strategic imperative. There must be a business as well as an ethical and social case for change. AARP found that 70 % of consumers of all ages are more likely to shop with a brand if it features a diverse mix of ages in its advertising. The demographic shift demands a new view of age and life stage. By 2030, nearly half of the UK workforce will be over 50. Age-diverse, intergenerational teams drive greater innovation, resilience, and profitability.Longevity has become a catchall term, preferred overaging. It implies living better as well as longer, yet is often co-opted to mean biohacking or reversing aging. 

Hire Yourself Podcast with Pete GilfillanAgeism is real and it's accelerating. In this episode, Pete Gilfillan breaks down how age discrimination is quietly forcing executives out of corporate life before they're ready—financially or emotionally—and what you can do to protect yourself.After decades in corporate America, Pete lived this story himself. Now, as a nationally recognized franchise consultant, he helps executives turn fear of being “phased out” into freedom through franchise ownership.In this episode, Pete covers:1. The Truth About AgeismHR News Canada reports that ageism in the workforce has surged 33%, and 50% of executives over 50 are pushed into early retirement before they're ready.2. Why a Paycheck Isn't Income SecurityCorporate loyalty is gone. Promotions stall, raises slow, and layoffs come fast. Franchise ownership gives you true income control—no one can decide your financial future for you.3. Build for Yourself, Not Someone ElseIn corporate life, your hard work builds another person's wealth. As a business owner, you're building your own asset—something that creates equity, stability, and a legacy.4. Regain Purpose and ImpactOwning a business gives you back the drive that corporate life often drains. You're the one making an impact in your community—creating jobs, serving people, and shaping your own culture.5. Lifestyle Flexibility and True FreedomAs a franchise owner, you decide when and how you work. No relocation, no forced retirements, no endless meetings—just control over your schedule and your life.6. Protect Your Retirement, Build a Legacy Franchise ownership creates an asset that can support your family long after you step away—either through ongoing income or as a business you can sell or pass down.Key Takeaways:Ageism is accelerating.Corporate jobs no longer guarantee income or security.Franchise ownership gives you control over your destiny, lifestyle, and legacy.The best way to beat ageism is to build something that no one can take away.“Ageism is real—but it doesn't have to define your future.” — Pete GilfillanCONNECT WITH PETE GILFILLAN:

Ever wondered why AI thinks you need to look younger? In this episode, Gretchen Andrew, a former Google employee turned artist, exposes the disturbing truth about how beauty filters are literally reshaping our faces—and our self-worth.We kick things off with Gretchen's bold pivot from Silicon Valley to the art world, where she's using robots, oil paint, and yes, glitter to reveal what beauty filters actually do to us. Her groundbreaking "FaceTune Portraits" physically apply AI beauty standards to paintings, creating violent scars and marks that show the hidden damage these "harmless" filters inflict on our identities.Gretchen breaks down the dirty secret of AI training data—how algorithms learn beauty from the most biased corners of the internet and create a feedback loop that makes everyone chase the same impossible standard. Even Miss Universe contestants aren't "good enough" for AI filters, and men in their 50s are rescheduling meetings just to use Zoom's "touch up my appearance" feature!From Hollywood actresses getting the same face-altering procedures to look good on small screens, to the shocking reality that social media may have incentivized us to provide facial recognition data for free, this conversation will change how you see every filter, every app, and every "enhanced" photo you encounter.Whether you're tired of the algorithmic beauty trap or just want to understand why everyone's starting to look the same, this episode is essential listening. Gretchen's insights will make you question everything about digital beauty—and maybe even inspire you to embrace what makes you uniquely human.“The question is: Do you want to look old and like yourself, or do you want to look like everybody else and look younger?” ~ Gretchen AndrewIn This Episode:-Leaving Silicon Valley for art-AI vs. beauty standards-The homogenization of beauty-Gretchen's partnership with Andreessen Horowitz-The real story behind AI beauty filters-Ageism in the art and tech world-How Gretchen uses social media for her workAnd much more!Resources:-Free Guide to LinkedIn Job Hunting for the 40+ Crew - https://www.itgetslateearly.com/job-guideConnect with Gretchen Andrew:-Website: https://www.gretchenandrew.com/-LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gretchen-andrew/-Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gretchenandrew/Connect with Maureen Clough:-LinkedIn: maureenwclough - https://www.linkedin.com/in/maureenwclough/-Website: itgetslateearly.com - https://www.itgetslateearly.com/-Instagram: @itgetslateearly - https://www.instagram.com/itgetslateearly/-YouTube:

Hasan Minhaj jokes about ageism in his Netflix special, "Off With His Head".

Will an era of rap that's finally making room for its male elders make equitable space for women and MaGes too? For this conversation we use the Clipse epic rollout as grown ass rappers (Pusha T, 48 & Malice, 53) launching their highly rated album and successful tour - to explore the experiences and P.O.V of Black women in and around the industry. I promise you it's not a reach. Culture writer Starr Rocque & PR Strategist Uchechi Chinyere join me to discuss all things Clipse, hip-hop, Black women & femmes. You don't have to know shxt about the Clipse or their latest album Let God Sort Em' Out to enjoy this conversation, but also please email and let me know how you managed to avoid knowing shxt about the Clipse during this very Clipse 2025. I think it's important to note that Tyler the Creator who shows up in one of the best features of the album is queer. We mention his feature, but not his queerness, which IS relevant in THIS conversation.
