The article discusses a bi-weekly gathering in Buenos Aires led by 97-year-old Alberto Chab, where nonagenarians share personal stories and insights. Inspired by a viral TikTok video, this initiative transformed into the podcast 'Ninety and Counting,' which covers diverse topics relevant to elders' experiences, including tango, healthy lifestyles, and relationships. The group emphasizes the importance of open dialogue about aging and has gained significant attention, reflecting a growing interest in the perspectives of older individuals. The project aims to foster connection and support among seniors, highlighting their vibrant contributions to society.
"I wasn't just surprised about what happened. I'd say I was shocked. It seemed like a tsunami of messages. More than a tsunami, it was like Iguazu Falls."
"We talk about our stuff, what happened to us, what we eat, about rest and how we relate to everyone else," says Chab.
"The project was inspired by Chab's video of a simple dinner attended by others from his age group that was designed for them to have a place to chat and make friends."
"The podcast's first season consists of 11 episodes with subjects like tango, healthy habits, the role of women, children's games, love and sex, and motivation, among others."
