Grey Matters More
A new podcast reveals a time rich army of volunteers and people embracing new challenges as they take on the retirement years.
Many people dream of retirement but the reality of giving up work can often be stressful and traumatic. Boredom, loss of status and depression can kick in after you've clocked off for the last time.
A brand new podcast series focuses on ways of tackling one of the most challenging transitions many of us ever face.
Grey Matters has been produced by three recently retired friends whose credits include the BBC, ITN, Sky,and much more. They have all faced the sudden realisation of retirement and the ups and downs it can bring. They talk from personal experience.
