Carole Marks takes her positive aging message to the airwaves

It would defy the principles of physics and biology, but an argument could be made that Carole Marks, the 70-something host of the syndicated “A Touch of Grey” radio program, is actually getting younger.

In 1990, Marks started the show, which focuses on “the lives of the 50-plus generation as meaningful, fulfilling and productive as possible,” after recognizing that there was a serious dearth of radio programming aimed at folks over 50 and settling into their retirement years.

From the home studio in the living room of her Mystic residence, between taping phone interviews with a psychologist and a bestselling author, Marks seems, while absolutely focused on the work at hand, pleased to discuss with guests the momentum of her later-life radio career.

Carole Marks hosts the ‘A Touch of Grey’ radio program from her home in Mystic.
