"Certain Futures": the podcast about life, death - and getting older

Andreas Edel Pressestelle
Population Europe

    What happens when a European demographic research project asks a Berlin podcaster from the United States to explore their findings? Find out in episode one of "Certain Futures".

    Host Daniel Stern begins his journey into demography and takes a peek at what aging might mean for himself, and for Europe. In conversation with research experts we find out the origins of demography and look at how the science has evolved. We also see how confronting aging isn't just policy and percentages - it is also very personal.
