About this listen

In the final episode of the series, Patrick interviews Anne, a 77-year-old whose lifelong love of games offers a joyful perspective on how play evolves over time. Anne shares a journey that includes dolls, sports, cards and more: From classic games with names that have evolved over the decades to the ways parenthood reshaped her view of play through her children’s eyes.

Patrick also returns to his central questions about how and why our relationship to play changes as we grow up, and Anne shares her wisdom on how play changes over time— not as something we leave behind, but as something that always offers “something next.” As she reminds Patrick, “Who doesn’t like play? Who doesn’t like fun?”

Plus some favorite games from earlier guests make an appearance in a whole new generation!
