Introduction

Over the last hundred years, human life expectancy has more than doubled, allowing generations to meet one another for the first time in human history — but at a hidden cost.

It appears that life expectancy will only increase with time, and so too will its drain on the planet. If we all want to live to 110, certain innovations and changes will be necessary.

TED Radio Hour is a collaborative podcast between TED and NPR.

In this March 2022 episode, NPR producer and editor Rachel Faulkner sits down with popular science writer Steven Johnson to discuss the standardized public health systems, life conditions, and coincidences that cause us to live longer lives.
