"Stay curious. That is a longevity strategy. Stay curious about your surroundings, about the world, about yourself. Stay curious." - Patrick Roden

On our podcast – At Home, On Air – we continue our mini-series, Changemaker Interviews, where we highlight the impact of changemakers on the quality of our lives. These individuals have challenged and changed systems, introduced new ways of thinking and told previously untold stories.

In the fourth installment of the series, we're joined by Patrick Roden, RN, Ph.D., a passionate advocate for aging-in-place whose unique journey spans over 40 years as a nurse, gerontologist, and creative aging champion.

The conversation, hosted by Susanne Stadler, contrasts Historical Gerontology's decline-focused perspective with Critical Gerontology's view of lifelong development. Patrick shares his concept of 'Possibility Aging,' highlighting how divergent thinking and creativity enhance the aging process. He discusses insights from his dissertation research, where he interviewed older artists who adapted their creative processes to overcome physical limitations, documenting the remarkable physical, cognitive, and emotional benefits of sustained creative practice.

Patrick presents his evidence-informed 'formula' for healthy aging that places creativity at its core and explains how beauty and artistic expression become powerful tools for wellbeing in later years. The discussion also emphasizes the importance of environmental delight and strategies like volunteering and staying curious to maintain purpose in later life. Audience questions address applying these principles across different arts and finding meaning in aging, even without an artistic background.

This episode offers an inspiring perspective on aging not as decline but as an opportunity for continued growth, meaning, and joy through creative engagement. We hope Patrick's insights will encourage you to embrace creativity as a pathway to vibrant aging in your own home, life, and community!

'War, sanctions and western disunity' 

As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is in its fourth year and efforts to pause the conflict have both intensified and become more complex, David O’Sullivan, the EU’s Sanctions Envoy since January 2023, discusses the use of sanctions by the EU and others on Russia. Since the invasion in 2022, sixteen packages of sanctions have sought to prevent Russia from accessing dual-use and advanced technologies for the manufacturing of cutting-edge weapons, and to degrade Russia’s ability to finance its war of aggression. Mr O’Sullivan discusses the evolution and efficacy of these measures and how the changed posture of the US vis-à-vis the conflict in recent months has affected EU sanctions policy.

About the Speaker:

David O’Sullivan spent most of his career, before formally retiring in 2019, in a series of senior roles at the European Commission, including Secretary-General of the European Commission; Chief Operating Officer of the European External Action Service; Director General for Trade; and Chief of Staff to Commission President, Romano Prodi. He also served as Ambassador of the European Union Delegation to the United States from November 2014 until February 2019, which included more than half of the first term of US president Donald Trump. Prior to taking up his role as EU Sanctions Envoy, David was Director General of the IIEA.

'Will Multinational American Corporations Become Less Multinational?'

The US political and economic policy-making environment has changed dramatically in 2025, with a shift against globalisation among the most potentially impactful changes being executed by the current administration.

- Dreams future- Fuel shortages, Heavenly interruptions, rodent migration, weather and sun changes, politics imploding.
- Spiritual insights beyond forecasting should be shared. Man is arrogant in regard to answers. "Distressed with perplexity". We relieve ourselves with worldly distractions, but that won't help soon as things get serious. Christ is desensitized and people are being moved away from the supernatural realm. 
- Many countries have dug caverns as much as 16 miles deep. Known companies are fronts. Work is done by unknown companies changing their names often. Black budget is 28%.
- We put ourselves first and don't intervene to help others. Don't assume an evil person can't change. That's Satan's line...
- Mideast igniting behind Iran. Trump hit equipment. Mosad has paid a price. Evil spiritual entities spread from Iran just as when an evil man dies and they go into another body.
- We are able to live in the time we were put in. Disciples couldn't survive in these days of abominations. This realm will melt away and the spiritual realm will rise. Trouble upon trouble in the day of the Lord. Darkness will find darkness. We are what we eat...Eat the Word. Be fit to partake with Christ. There are before and after trials accepting and rejecting evil. 
- Addictions are kept by withdrawal symptoms of chemical dependency. Requires the Father's power. The un addicted don't understand. Loss of prescription meds will be the same. When we go through this process, we are able to help our fellow man. The addicted are compassionate. It's comparable to God's process. 
- Another event coming after bombings to overcome. Whole other kingdom will invade this one. We are here because we are needed and purposed. Yes... we can have peace even now going through a series of world changing events. View of end times will change yet again soon. 
- 2 more heat plumes coming. East coast will have rolling blackouts. There will be forced outages with remotely controlled smart meters.
- Many Iranians nabbed here today. Hate the principality, not the people. Prisoners will go to the everglades. Gator Jail

'Europe from the Inside'

In the final edition of IIEA Insights before the summer break, recently retired Head of the European Commission’s Representation Office in Dublin, Barbara Nolan, will offer reflections from her decades-long career in the EU civil service. In the discussion, she will examine the changing role of the European Commission and other EU institutions; power dynamics within the bloc in the context of a near-tripling of members during her career; and how Britain’s exit from the bloc has changed it. Barbara will also offer perspectives on Ireland’s interests and positions in the EU over three decades.

Barbara Nolan was Head of the European Commission Representation in Ireland on two occasions, from 2021-2024 and 2010-2016, but spent most of her career at the Commission’s HQ in Brussels. There, she was in charge of Fundamental Rights Policy in the Justice and Consumers Directorate General and represented the Commission on the board of the Fundamental Rights Agency. She was also responsible for the coordination of the Erasmus+ programme, the reform and modernisation of Higher Education, and worked on Anti-Discrimination Policy and Communications and Media. She was the European Commission's Spokesperson for Employment, Social Affairs and Health matters, as well as for Justice and Home Affairs.

Established in 1995
The Muslim Community Radio is a multicultural and multilingual Islamic radio station. It broadcasts to the Sydney community in general while incorporating elements that target the Islamic community of Sydney. It first transmitted twenty-four hours a day during the month of Ramadan of 1995 and has continued to broadcast during every month of Ramadan and Dhul-hijja (Pilgrimage month). In addition, in 1997 Muslim Community Radio was broadcasting on every Friday of that year until the introduction of the temporary broadcast community license (TBCL). Muslim Community Radio currently broadcasts 24 hours 365 days a year covering all Islamic events. Because Arabic/Lebanese is, according to statistics, the major ethnic language communicated among the Muslims in Sydney, understandably the radio programs are primarily transmitted in the Arabic and English languages with spots of other community languages, evolving in pace with demand.
