Marcia Meier, publisher of Weeping Willow Books, has a new podcast: Girl Talk: Women, Aging, and Sexuality. The episodes will feature discussions on women, aging, relationships, health and a host of other related topics with writers, academics, physicians and other experts.
In the inaugural podcast, Marcia chats with psychotherapist Kathleen A. Barry about the perils and joys of online dating when you're a single woman over fifty. Listen to it below:
The inspiration for this podcast came from the response to Weeping Willow Books’ anthology, Unmasked, Women Write About Sex and Intimacy After Fifty. As we’ve toured around the country, we’ve been overwhelmed by the response of women who tell us they have lots more to say—and learn—about these topics.
“In a society that reveres youth – and particularly young, sexy women – little attention is paid to sex and intimacy among women in later life,” says Marcia. “Unmasked gives women from around the world an opportunity to share their stories and express their concerns about all issues related to women, aging and relationships.”
"Girl Talk” will surprise, inform, and encourage all women "of a certain age" to (re)discover their sexuality—and themselves.
