When the Fuck Did I Become Old? is hosted by Jo Parker — a no-nonsense woman in her 60s who’s done sugarcoating the realities of aging. With humour, honesty and a healthy dose of profanity, Jo tackles everything from chin hairs and creaky joints to grief, reinvention and the fast pace of tech.
This no-holds-barred podcast is for anyone over 60 who feels like life is shifting fast; physically, emotionally, financially and no one’s talking about it properly. Each episode mixes Jo’s raw reflections with unfiltered conversations from guests who have lived a little (and learned a lot). Topics range from sex after 60 and digital-age dating (bifocals optional), to loneliness, retirement shenanigans and the art of staying visible when society wants you to disappear.
Jo’s mission? To break the silence, smash the stereotypes and make aging something we can laugh at, cry through and fully own….together.
It’s aging, without the airbrushing
Season 1 - The Journney Begins...
Season 2 - The Search for a Co-Host
Season 3 - A new Co-Host; my partner Kev Stockbridge
