Answers use saved listing facts and recorded sources.

What it does

Oldster Magazine is Sari Botton's English-language email publication about aging and moving through different phases of life. Its archive includes personal writing, interviews and reading selections.

The attention to lived experience provides a different route into aging than a practical health guide. Sample an interview or essay to see how another person's life stage changes the question being discussed. The About page advertises at least three emails weekly, with Monday essays, Wednesday interviews and alternating Friday roundups or open threads. Much remains free; paid subscribers receive all paywalled material.
