Longer lives are among the most remarkable achievements in all of human history — and the greatest challenge of the 21st century. How can we ensure that our lives are not just longer, but healthy and rewarding as well? From the Stanford Century on Longevity, Century Lives is here to start the conversation. Join us as we venture into the world of education, work, healthcare, housing, and more to explore how our future as a population of centenarians has already begun.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/century-lives-4614503"},"episode":{"title":"Nina Totenberg","slug":"nina-totenberg","published_at":"2025-11-17T16:43:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/century-lives-4614503/nina-totenberg","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/century-lives-4614503","url":"https://pdst.fm/e/traffic.megaphone.fm/TPG2325738891.mp3?updated=1763398248","audio_url":"https://pdst.fm/e/traffic.megaphone.fm/TPG2325738891.mp3?updated=1763398248","summary":"Look around you: Our communities are filled with people in their 60s, 70s, 80s, even 90s, doing things that would have been unthinkable at their age a generation ago. By 2030, the entire Baby Boomer generation will be 65 and older. But what does it mean to be old in an era of much longer life? Welcome to Century Lives: The New Old, from the Stanford Center on Longevity. In this season, we interview six extraordinary people who are challenging the way we think about aging. Today: Nina Totenberg. Her voice is one of the most famous in broadcasting. Nina Totenberg is the legal affairs correspondent at NPR, a job she’s held since 1975. She talks here about why she continues to work into her 80s, with no plans to retire. And she regales us with stories about her early career, when there were few women journalists. She also discusses some of her most famous reporting, including her breaking news story about Anita Hill’s accusations against then-nominee to the Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas.","meta_description":"Look around you: Our communities are filled with people in their 60s, 70s, 80s, even 90s, doing things that would have been unthinkable at their age a gen…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2747,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/century-lives-4614503/episodes/nina-totenberg/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/century-lives-4614503/nina-totenberg.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
