Alone, Not Invisible: Ros Thomas on Loneliness and Ageing (Listen)
Loneliness is often thought of as an issue affecting only a handful of people. In reality, it's one of the most common human experiences. Yet despite being universal, loneliness is often accompanied by feelings of stigma and shame, making it difficult for people to talk about.
As part of The Loneliness Project, Ros met some of the world's most isolated people while investigating loneliness as a growing public health issue.
Together, she and Cath explore why loneliness is increasingly being recognised as a public health issue, the difference between being alone and being lonely, and why connection matters at every stage of life.
From friendship and belonging to the simple power of being seen, it's a conversation about one of society's most common, and often misunderstood, challenges.

Bones, Balance & Brains: An Orthogeriatrician’s Guide to Ageing Well
In this episode of I'm Too Old For This, Cath sits down with geriatrician Professor Peter Goldswain, whose decades caring for older Australians have shaped his practical approach to ageing well. Now retired, Peter reflects on his own journey into later life, sharing why retirement isn't about slowing down—it's about staying physically active, mentally engaged and finding new purpose.
Together, they explore how our ideas of "old age" have changed, why age shouldn't define what we're capable of, and the simple habits that can help us stay independent for longer. Peter also shares his insights on preventing falls, maintaining bone, brain and dental health, the important role families play as we age, and why looking after yourself today can make all the difference tomorrow.
