What a great topic!! I thought for sure I would cringe--the way many people do when they think about their parents having sex. But the interviewers/producers constructed the piece so the listener is drawn in and comfortable from the start. It is always interesting and thoughtful. How often do we have engaging, thoughtful discussions on-air about sex let alone about sex when we are 80?

The story addresses the topic from a variety of angles relying upon candid conversations about sex with men and women enjoying their retirement years along with expert interviews inter-dispersed throughout the piece. The producers definitely did their research. The "seniors" interviewed are open, candid and often humorous. They lead the story.

The use of NAT sound was subtle but it added depth. The choice of music was perfect for setting the scene for love 50-60 years ago. The music also allows the listener time to process the context of the piece and maintain that comfort zone.

I’m in my mid-30’s, and it made me think about what my personal life might be like in 40 years. That alone demonstrates the story appeals to a wide demographic.

But most importantly, it illustrates how to be courageous and creative when reporting about “taboo topics”.
