Age Appropriate
Joe Queenan has been around the block a time or two, and now finds himself in his seventies, ruminating on things he never thought would even affect him in ways he never would have predicted. By way of sharing the load he’s offering short insights into later life, stripped of the cliches and assumptions normally guaranteed when talk turns to ageing. They’re funny, they’re smart, and they’re blessedly brief - Joe’s not interested in wasting your time or his own. Producer: Geoff Bird

Anyone heading for root canal surgery might want to skip this one.
