Mary Furlong’s What’s Next: Living Longer Better Smarter podcast is set to launch in Spiro100’s senior living communities across the US.
Spiro100, the leading web-based fitness provider for older adults, and Mary Furlong and Associates (MFA), a concierge consulting practice and event producer for the longevity economy, have announced a distribution partnership for the What’s Next: Living Longer Better Smarter podcast.
The podcast, produced by MFA, will appear in more than 500 Spiro100 communities across the US and will reach more than 2,000 individual subscribers in their homes or rooms beginning immediately.
What’s Next: Living Longer Better Smarter will be available to the public at no cost by visiting home.spiro100.com or via the app.
Mary Furlong and award-winning journalist Fred Fishkin are co-hosts of the podcast, interviewing the leaders, personalities and innovators who are making a difference.
The podcast, bringing listeners to the intersection of longevity, technology and ageing, is supported in part by the sponsorship of Vivid-Pix, the creator of easy-to-use image improvement software.
Alex Rochestie, co-founder and president of programming, said: “We know Spiro100 can make a difference in the lives of seniors who exercise and stay active leveraging our library. But to truly accomplish the mission of Spiro100 and make a difference in the lives of millions of older adults and family caregivers requires a broader content library.
“The addition of this podcast, and bringing Mary, Fred and some of the brightest tech minds in aging to our platform is an important step in achieving a healthier and happier future.”
The second phase of the podcast distribution rollout is expected to begin in 2023 and will include an additional network of 10,000 senior living communities via organisations including Icon, K4Connect and Lifestone Link.
“We are excited to work with Spiro100 in bringing thought-provoking, insightful discussions into these communities,” added Mary Furlong, CEO of Mary Furlong and Associates.
“The impact that these conversations can have on the tens of thousands of older adults, as well as the care professionals and family members surrounding them, can make a lasting difference in their mental, physical and cognitive health.”
