About this episode
In this inaugural episode, host Bob Blancato and co-host Edwin Walker bring together a powerhouse group of national leaders to explore the legacy and future of the Older Americans Act (OAA): Ramsey Alwin (National Council on Aging), Sandy Markwood (USAging), Josh Protas (Meals on Wheels America), and Martha Roherty (Advancing States) for a wide-ranging conversation on the history, structure, and real-world impact of the Older Americans Act. Together, they outline what reauthorization must deliver—modernization, equity, and funding at scale—so the OAA can meet the realities of a rapidly aging nation.
