‘Generations Connect!’ is a brand new podcast series brought to you by the Council for Third Age (C3A) and Vintage Radio SG! Through this podcast series, we hope to foster intergenerational bonding, which is one of the key focus areas of C3A, alongside lifelong learning and senior volunteerism. Explore interesting insights on how youths and seniors think as we invite them to share their perspectives on various topics such as lingo, cybersecurity and scams, music and food.

The first 2 episodes on lingo and cybersecurity are out and the next 2 episodes will be available on 15 and 16 Oct! To listen to the podcast series, you can visit C3A's YouTube channel:
Ep 1: https://youtu.be/HJVJf0k73MA
Ep 2: https://youtu.be/Rm6imcCCUk4
or via the 'Listen In' tab on the Vintage Radio SG app.

The idea of lifelong learning is deeply ingrained in Mdm Ann Liew, 62 and her mother Mdm Tan Moh Kiat, 94, as the mother-daughter duo is constantly finding new things to learn. Mdm Liew currently works full-time operating a stall in a school canteen, but still manages to fork out time to engage in learning regularly.⁠
⁠
Mdm Liew’s mother, Mdm Tan, is also an avid learner despite her age. In fact, Mdm Tan took the initiative to sign up for the NSA course “大脑训练方法 (Train Your Brain to Concentrate & Focus)” with her daughter so that she can pick up tips to keep her mind active.
