In the third episode of Joe Straus's series on old age and music, he turns his attention to some old composers, including Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Copland, and Carter. Joe shows that the critical reception of these old composers often follows ageist cultural scripts as described in the previous episodes.  This episode was produced by Katrina Roush. SMT-Pod Theme music by Zhangcheng Lu; Closing music "hnna" by David Voss. "Night Thoughts" by Aaron Copland was performed by Han Chen.
