How should we think about aging when the impacts of climate change can make the future feel so uncertain? That's a question Sarah Ray, professor and chair of environmental studies at Cal Poly Humboldt, has been helping her students consider. Though climate anxiety can cause some to feel overwhelmed, Ray has tips for how to minimize doom loops and inaction. How to Age Up co-hosts Yasmin Tayag and Natalie Brennan talk about how current climate concerns compare to the existential crises of previous generations, and how to practice hope during uncertain times. Here is a link to the full poem “The Low Road” by Marge Piercy. A passage is referenced in this episode.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Food trends are constantly changing, so can people commit to a long-term nutrition practice? Kera Nyemb-Diop says yes. She is a nutrition scientist focused on breaking down the “rules” of what people think they should eat and focusing instead on being responsive to how our needs change over the course of a life. Co-hosts Yasmin Tayag and Natalie Brennan reconsider their own food habits and which practices are worth hanging on to for the long haul.  How do you think about aging?

Our scientific understanding of the aging process may be expanding, but is our cultural thinking about aging keeping up? In the new season of The Atlantic's popular How To series, co-hosts Yasmin Tayag and Natalie Brennan explore the cultural gamification of aging, the obsession with defying this inevitable process, and how we might shift our understanding of aging to embrace the beauty of being mortal.  Just as “leveling up” is a positive notion, How to Age Up challenges listeners to consider how we all, regardless of our specific age, might live better.  How do you think about aging?

In the 18th century, women carried around pineapple-shaped purses as a status symbol, as a political statement, and, frankly, because it was adorable. For the last episode of Season 2, we dig into the sacred entity that is The Purse. And for The Accessory, we are joined by the queen of accessories herself, Susan Korn of Susan Alexandra!

Some years, Ray-Ban's Wayfarers are so popular that their sales figures are in the millions. Other years, the sunglasses are almost completely absent from popular culture. We're turning our lenses towards the reason that these specs have cycled in and out of style almost every decade since 1952.  In order to help us determine where the model fits in today's fashionable culture, we are joined by GQ's Samuel Hine.

In the 1850s, a crew of American women began wearing pantalettes to indicate themselves as forward-thinking ‘New Women.' How did these undergarments get the name bloomers? Amelia Bloomer, of course. But, they weren't really her invention at all. We also chat all things shorts: from our historical favourites to a new microtrend we're claiming to have named.

Want to make a splash in the summer of 1946? Wear a bikini! Better yet, tell the whole beach about your bikini in skywriting! In today's episode, we investigate the bitter rivalry over the invention of the bikini and the massive impact made by one of humankind's smallest garments.

Today we get into some of the biggest sleeves of all time: the 1830s puff sleeves. But today's fashion history exploration is twofold — because the sleeves of the 1830s were referencing the girls of the past, too. It's time to look at the fashion history sleeve metaverse and the eternal pursuit of dressing absurdly. Plus, we theorize on the microtrends, Summer As Rebirth, and borough-specific dressing.

We are so back! And so are weddings. In 1953, Ann Lowe made a wedding dress for Jackie Kennedy's highly publicized wedding. However, it would be years before Ann Lowe was credited as the creator of the infamous dress. Today we explore how royalty affects bridal trends, why we wear white on our wedding days, and what "back tie optional" even means.

In 1993, Kate Moss sported a Liza Bruce naked dress that immediately became iconic. But before the young starlet stepped out on the streets of London in a shimmery sheer slip, did the naked dress have its own history?

Everybody's familiar with food delivery by this point, and terms like ‘curbside' and ‘take-out' have been staples of the F&B industry throughout the pandemic. But for a brand like Muffin Break, which primarily serves low-cost baked food and hot drinks, how do you adapt to the widespread shutdown of brick-and-mortar locations?  The answer lies in the concept's adaptability, and the varied investment models that have taken the brand from shopping centers to train stations, soft play areas, and even extensions of existing QSR businesses.  It hasn't always worked – with Muffin Break failing to make waves in countries like India and Indonesia – but for Natalie Brennan, general manager, Muffin Break's versatility is its saving grace during these challenging times.  To keep your finger on the beating pulse of franchising, sign up to our newsletter at globalfranchisemagazine.com, subscribe to our definitive magazine, and join the conversation with our experts today on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook.
