The retiree organization’s new podcast is called An AARP Take on Today and is hosted by Bob Edwards, the original and longtime host of NPR’s flagship program Morning Edition. Each new episode will feature in-depth news interviews on timely topics with guest experts on health, work, money, aging, entertainment and more. The first three episodes cover investments in cutting-edge dementia research, the influence of 50-plus voters in the 2018 midterm elections, and the devastating impact of social isolation on older Americans.
“Podcasts’ growing popularity presents an exciting opportunity for us to deepen our connection with our members and with all those interested in fascinating stories about our country’s changing demographics,” said Martha M. Boudreau, AARP Executive Vice President & Chief Communications and Marketing Officer. “AARP is a powerhouse of news and insights for Americans 50-plus, including through the nation’s most-read magazine, AARP The Magazine. With An AARP Take on Today, working with the acclaimed Bob Edwards, we’re expanding our reach and engagement with the fastest-growing segment of listeners.”
