Today I'm speaking to Elke Heidenreich. She is, dare I say, an icon. A TV star, writer, literary critic, radio play author and - dare I say this too - she is an old woman. And that's what our conversation is about. About age and growing old. About letting go and what we will take with us to the grave. Elke is 81 and every now and then she says things like: "Believe me, old aunt." And I believe her when she says that her curiosity keeps her alive, that her enthusiasm and ability to be outraged make her a contented and discontented, energetic old woman. It's a joy to listen to her because she makes you want to grow old and conveys confidence. Elke is now having the best time of her life. I hope you have the best entertainment and lots of fun growing old.
