Episode 39: (Belatedly) Celebrating the U.N. International Day of Older Persons!




Does This Make Me Look Old? show

Summary: Shiv and Sim somehow manage to relate the weather and a reminiscence around "Northern Exposure" (remember that show?) to the 30th anniversary of the United Nations' International Day of Older Persons and Australia's inaugural Ageism Awareness Day held on October 1st. Did you know there is an International Day devoted to older people? Shiv didn't and this leads to a discussion around whether this is due to poor marketing practices or whether it might actually be due to hidden ageism in society. Shiv also possibly comes to a realization about her own inherent ageism! Sim and Shiv also discuss other countries and their celebration of older people and the need to do so in North America as well. Happy (belated) International Day of Older Persons! Come and celebrate with us on this week's episode of Does This Make Me Look Old?
