Agehood is the podcast that finally says what we’re all thinking but rarely saying out loud. Hosted by Melissa Reader, CEO of Violet, we have the conversations that matter most: watching our parents age, being everyone’s go-to person, the mess of love and duty, what it really takes to care for those we love, and yes, death, dying, and loss. You’ll hear Australia’s most trusted voices, from beloved broadcasters to respected experts, vulnerably sharing their own stories alongside practical guidance that actually helps. This isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about asking the right questions and knowing you’re not alone. Executive Producer: Lize Ratliff.
