Anti Ageism by two thirty somethings: Episode 21: 05|26|21: Kyrié Carpenter and Ryan Baker: - a podcast by Ani Colt and Preston "Ty" Tyree

First, we are glad to be back from the long break we took during the pandemic. What with selling and buying a house, moving our furniture in to storage, traveling around to AirBNBs and then moving all that stuff in storage back into a new house and then to both have to go in for surgery… it has been an eventful time.

But today, we are back and excited about our two guests. Our primary focus is on Growing Old(er)! and we are all doing that, but our guests today helped create a website/clearinghouse for resources to combat Ageism. That site is OldSchool.info and they worked with Ashton Applewhite to make it happen. People are always surprised to hear that Ani and I are approaching 80. That is because they have an idea of what 80 looks like and have a skewed vision of what 80 year olds should act like.

Kyrié (Kee-re-ay) Carpenter (6/6/86) has an interesting website called Kyrieosity.com. She does keynotes and workshops to “plant the seeds of personal and cultural growth” and also is managing editor of the blog posts on ChangingAging with Dr. Bill Thomas. I took the effort to read her masters thesis to see what she had to say about the Anti-Aging myth in America. She has an interesting take and I will ask her about that.

Ryan Backer (6/8/88) is a self-proclained Age Activist - They identify as a white, non-binary, European-American ‘old person in training’ with a BS degree in Gerontological Studies. He also aims high, aiming to eradicate all forms of oppression. On his website AgeActivism.Com he talks about his workshops called AGE QUEER.

Sit back and relax and lets see what our guests have to say about Anti-Ageism and Growing Old(er)!.
