Welcome to Our Better Half:
a podcast about sex in the 2nd half of life

When a 50-something vanilla married lady starts asking questions about modern sex for classic bodies and wonders why everyone keeps laughing.

Laura Collins Lyster-Mensh, writer and blogger, talks with experts on sex and sexuality and interviews people around the world on the topic of sex over 50. With segments like "Explain That To a Grandma" we cross generational lines and we get folks talking about healthy sex beyond the childbearing years and into the arthritic ones!

 Hi, I really do think this podcast is excellent overall. I love the creaky noises for kegels; I think the interviews, especially with the older man who's part of SAGE, are really interesting; I think the spirit of the podcast is really good; and the pacing, with the talk to granny and more recent scientific sections are fun. i hope you get a big following and get to do this for ages. Many thanks!!!! Ellen (iTunes reviewer)
Laura is easy to listen to, asks all the questions I want to know the answers to; she is charming and respectful of all her guests. I always learn something new. And on top of that, there is always something to giggle about. Thanks, Laura. Great job! (itunes reviewer)
