I just threw out another AARP mailing today. I'd join an association for midlife folks.
I haven't listened to them - since The Power Broker is sitting in my TBR - but the 99% Invisible podcast did a readalone in 2024, with monthly episodes about it if Doug doesn't already know about it.

Exactly! AARP is doing right by its core demographic, but we’re wondering why anyone in their 50s would want to buy in.
And how great is it to see Jodie hang-gliding? She’s an inspiration, especially since she writes frankly about how seldom she feels like one.
