Century Lives podcast cover art

If there is one thing we know about retirement, it’s that the rules are changing. Longer life, better health, changing work conditions, and challenging financial times mean that the new retirement will be different from the old. But how?

On this show, we explore the new retirement through the stories of eight different employees of Harris Health, the largest public health system in Texas. The employees are united by the fact that they share the same workplace, but they are divided by very different personal stories and goals – and financial situations. They are nurses, doctors, carpenters, CEOs, security officers, and they are imagining very different retirements.
