Our culture — correctly — sees youth as special. This podcast reminds that the 70+ years are also special. This is a perfect primer in how to make these years special. A pity the series ended.

Would listen to him ask people about that forever

I started listening to this podcast in 2021 after a cancer diagnosis. The interviews were calming and reflective. My 2023 goal Is to finish listening to all the interviews since I got away from them a bit. I think I will make it!

He excels at facilitating inspiring conversations that feel authentic and truly collaborative, dialogue unfolding in real time with genuine surprises and discoveries along the way.

I’ve never written a podcast review before, but this is just what the country needs right now. I’m actually re-listening to every episode. The host asks great questions, and the guests give thoughtful answers that all of us can learn from. The theme music is also just perfect. I hope they do...Read full review »

I loved this series. Learned a lot from different people and perspectives. Grounding. Humbling. Optimistic. Wise.

The line of questioning leads each guest to reveal their own truths about life. Thank you for bringing out the wisdom which comes with experience.
Teacher Bren via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/25/22
These interviews are so human and so superbly done. The choice of people to interview is varied and fascinating. Max’s technique is direct, even pointed, yet caring and sometimes playful. Max’s occasional foul language — and the peoples’ return cussing — bring a smile to my face too. So real! ...Read full review »

Wow. I started with the Judith light episode. Thank you thank you thank you.

I love the wisdom we can take, if we listen, to those who’ve experienced more than us. This same appreciation comes through in ever thoughtful question, and response from Max. Lovely.

I am a 73 year old man and was looking forward to this series and was quite encouraged at the beginning with the talk with the host's Dad. For me, though, then it became Celebrity Cascades. Part of our culture is so caught up in celebrity and I don't think that that is at all good for...Read full review »

I have loved this podcast and am so sorry to hear this is the last one….
CJ Kansas via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/19/22
I love this host’s eclectic mix of guests, though I often find that his interviewing strategies stymie and limit the conversations, due to his leading questions that veer toward the abstract and his forced tone of giggly incredulity or wonder that strikes me as a bit patronizing to the folks...Read full review »

I punched up the podcast , but just listened to two ads that sound like the speaker is on quaaludes. Please tell me that there is more. How do I get past these awful ads?
Theremustbemire via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/16/22
This podcast is a gift I didn’t know I needed. Thank you.

bettyboop81! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/07/22
With a diverse range of interviewees and a broad ranging discussion about how we make the most of the time we have left, I found nuggets of joy and wisdom in each episode and was sad when it came to an end. I guess I will just have to listen to each episode again. Thank you for such a lovely,...Read full review »

This is a delightful podcast. Listening to this generation is insightful and thought provoking and rewarding. The host is so respectful of his guests and genuinely cares about them. This is a bright spot in today’s world. Thank you for honoring elderly people. I am only 2 years away from 70!
Baa Grams 6 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/31/21
What a great program you have offered! Even though the speakers and I do not share life experiences, I can totally connect to their stories and insights.
Patty B S via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/19/21
I have been comforted and entertained by all the interviews. I’m 68 and have been inspired to continue to live an authentic meaningful life thru your podcast.
drlisa65 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/18/21
Extraordinary - well done Max and team. Just finished this life changing series and starting it over again to glean more wisdom and peace. Thank you.
tlrPNW via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/15/21
Thank you for this sweet and insightful series. As a person who is 8 years away from 70, I found it reassuring and inspiring. I think we all learned a lot, including Max.
MiaOCred2blu via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/14/21
I’ve enjoyed these interviews immensely and all have been inspiring! Looking forward to listening to them a second time while I wait for the new episodes.
colleen1q via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/14/21
I have really enjoyed these interviews with a neglected portion of the population. I particularly like the thoughtful way in which the host spoke with his subjects♥️
Cjbluebird via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/14/21
Please find another 70 over 70 to continue this podcast. As I near 70 soon I find the the discussions so enlightening. Please continue
BeckyC52 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/07/21
Very interesting guests who share their perspectives on life and teach us lessons. Interviewer is geninely talented -- a good listener and asks respectful and insightful questions. Great podcast!

I just turned 60 and recently retired thanks to the pandemic. I now spend time doing all the things I’ve never had time to do. Listening to these inspiring guests fills my cup sand makes me grateful for each day and excited about the next. The host is so kind. You will love this show.
dinomickey via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/18/21
The stories/interviews are interesting and intimate. So candid and relatable. This is a funny, life affirming look at the most existential parts of being alive. Highly recommend!
wattlebla via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/05/21
Every interview with these over 70’s is so direct and feels true. Max just cuts right into it gracefully and directly every time. I love this series!
?3)28&&4 via Apple Podcasts · United Arab Emirates · 11/03/21
I love this podcast. Not only do the well chosen guests provide insights and inspiration, but Max is an extremely sensitive interviewer, and the resulting discussions seem natural and spontaneous. I always feel enriched and sometimes listen twice. Thank you Max.
mizzymama via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 11/02/21
I subscribed and I keep listening even though most of the interviews depress me. So much success. Most of the people I know over 70 are not faring as well and I’m not far behind. I feel more envy than hope. Something else to work out in therapy. Can’t wait for the next 70 Over 70 episode! Update:...Read full review »
B. Birdell via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/12/21
Excellent pick of guests, who have made this podcast shine. The host’s questions are generally interesting, but sometimes it appears that he is restrained by his prepared questions and was pushing a bit too hard. This can seem pretentious and be a bit annoying sometimes. Other times, if it were...Read full review »

I appreciate this show so much! I take away not only insights that I may never have thought about, but the wisdom is priceless! They make me laugh, they make me reflect, and at 63 they make me look forward to my 70’s and beyond.
Kiangaj via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/27/21
It’s a fine program with really interesting speakers. However I might have to stop listening to it because of the advertisements. The advertisements for me spoil the content, particularly because the advertising pitch, a rapid hard sell , is made by the same empathic interviewer.It’s like going...Read full review »

So wonderful. Each episode is thoughtful and insightful. The interview technique is sweet and slow and deeply emotional. Thank you for doing this. It’s a highlight of my podcasts subscriptions.
awsedrdt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/19/21
I love the idea of getting insights from those who have lived longer. This podcast is consistently well executed and Max does a great job asking empathetic questions in each interview. The challenge is not to allow guests to just hit “play” and retell timeworn anecdotes, but to get fresh...Read full review »

I love the interviewer. He asks brilliant, insightful questions every time. I just keep saying to myself “great question. I wouldn’t have thought of it”. Such a charming man.
luvmytown via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/07/21
I am so grateful for this podcast and for everyone making it happen. These are some of the best interviews I’ve ever heard because they really feel like intimate, honest conversations with exactly the kind of people I want to be hearing from. I am always in a better mood when listening!
leahsab via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/03/21
Enjoying your podcast so much, realising again and again 70 is the start of the rest of your life and you are more than ever able to make the most of it. Especially Madeleine Albright is so inspiring that I listened to her over and over again
a dutch outsider via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/17/21
What a wasted opportunity. Continuously asks guests variations of the same question which resembles something like "How did that make you feel?" His interview of Dolores Huerta is a prime example. He asked her half a dozen times of how she "found her power". Enough! Move on! She...Read full review »
