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

Getting on in life most likely means becoming more familiar than you might like with your local medical professionals. Joe's a three-time loser when it comes to minor surgical operations, an epidemiological outlier who wants to know how many other people can claim the Triple Crown of failed procedures. Anyone heading for root canal surgery might want to skip this one.
