7 Popular Podcasts for Retirees

By    |   Thursday, 04 October 2018 10:04 AM EDT

The senior population is growing, and retirees nowadays are far more tech savvy than previous generations. With mounting access to the web, staying engaged with the world and its happenings could be as easy as listening to a popular podcast.

A Pew Research Center survey conducted last year showed that 67 percent of seniors in the U.S. use the internet, and 42 percent have smart phones.

Retirement can be tough at times, so taking advantage of technology can provide inspiration, distraction, and a means of staying atop current news.

2. Retirement Talk — While the website may not be as sleek as others, the Retirement Talk podcast offers invaluable advice to retirees ranging in topics from finances to health and lifestyle.

3. The Daily — The New York Times launched this daily news podcast, which rounds up world news. It is a great way to keep retirees informed on current affairs and global news.
