October 15, 2015  • Tricia Johnson, Guest Blogger

The “Aspen Ideas to Go” podcast is a weekly show featuring fascinating speakers who have presented at the Aspen Ideas Festival and other public programs offered by the Aspen Institute — including Aspen Words, the Alma and Joseph Gildenhorn Book Series, and various events around the country. For a curated listening experience subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or listen to each episode on the Aspen Ideas website.

Our brains are getting older, but there’s still much to be optimistic about. Neuroscientists Susan Greenfield and Gary Small discuss the aging brain with journalist and New York Times bestseller Sam Kean.
