“They Don't Call Those Years Formative for Nothing” with Raffi

There’s a common assumption that the most interesting parts of a life are in the rearview mirror, especially after a certain age. 70 Over 70, produced by Pineapple Street Studios and Audacy, gently dismantles that idea. Through a series of seventy intimate conversations, host Max Linsky sits down with people who have lived at least seven decades, shifting the focus deliberately from what was to what is. You’ll hear less about nostalgia and more about the immediate present-the current passions, unresolved questions, and daily realities of these remarkable individuals. These dialogues naturally touch on profound themes spanning society, culture, health, and even spirituality, precisely because a long life inevitably intersects with all of them. Each episode feels like a quiet, personal exploration of the universal puzzles we all face: how to find meaning, maintain vitality, and navigate the art of release. This podcast offers the rare gift of perspective, not as a historical lesson, but as a living, breathing guide to the time we all have right now.
