A Lifetime Of Wisdom
Think of us as a "Podcast On Wheels", a non-profit, trying to end isolation, one conversation at a time.
Around 1.4 million people over 70 in England are chronically lonely. Sometimes, a simple conversation is all it takes to change that. Behind every older person is a lifetime of incredible stories, wisdom, and experiences waiting to be heard.
We’re on a mission to showcase this remarkable generation and give them the voice they deserve, because nobody should ever feel invisible or alone.

They Told Me I Was Too Working Class for Parliament - So I Became a Labour MP
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The first time Lorraine Beavers set foot in the House of Parliament, she was overwhelmed. It was everything she'd imagined and nothing she'd prepared for. And then, just as she was finding her feet, someone pulled her aside and told her she was a bit too working class.
That moment changed everything.
This is the story of how an ordinary woman from an ordinary background fought her way into one of the most extraordinary institutions in the country — and what she learned along the way.
About A Lifetime Of Wisdom
