PBS starts podcast for 50 and older workers

PBS’ Next Avenue, a site for people over the age of 50, just launched its first podcast — “Your Next Avenue” on work and careers after 50.

Shayla Stern, director of editorial and content for Next Avenue at Twin Cities PBS, writes, “We call the free podcast Your Next Avenue and it’s being hosted by Richard Eisenberg, our Work & Purpose channel editor and the site’s managing editor.

“You can stream or download the podcast episodes on this page of our website, or you can go to iTunes (or whatever other service you use for podcasts) and search for Your Next Avenue. We are beginning with two episodes — interviews with two of Next Avenue’s top experts on careers after 50, Kerry Hannon and  Nancy Collamer —and then will release episodes with new topics and guests every other week through June 2018. We hope this new means of storytelling will help our audience navigate the many peaks and valleys of work and careers, and we believe that it’s a quick, approachable way to learn something new. Episodes will always be around 20 minutes long, timed for you to listen on your morning commute or evening walk. Or you could just binge the entire season when you’re looking for something to listen to on a long drive or while cleaning out your closet.”
