Why Do We Tolerate Ageism?

Ageism affects all of us, and yet it is one of the least discussed issues of our time. It’s also expensive—one study found that ageism resulted in roughly 17 million cases of common health conditions, totaling $63 billion in one year. 

In this episode, host Robert Espinoza is joined by Ashton Applewhite, author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism and co-founder of the Old School Anti-Ageism Clearinghouse. They dive into the definition of ageism, the ways in which it manifests in our culture, and how to combat it. 

This podcast is produced by Robert Espinoza in partnership with Modry Media.
