From deeply poignant to laugh-out-loud funny, "getting dot OLDER" Host/Producer, Roberto Mighty, helps baby boomers share their deepest feelings: A bicycle activist. A ballroom-dancing Chinese teacher. A transgender software developer. A Sikh entrepreneur. A Puerto-Rican singer. A cattle rancher. Native Alaskan artists. And many more diverse Americans.

"getting dot OLDER'' features true stories from ordinary people who open up to Roberto about tragedy, triumph, humor, love, loss -- and sometimes -- just holding on:

"If I could go back in time and counsel my younger self, I would tell my younger self: 'Don't marry that man…'"

"I'm ashamed that I'm not financially savvy…"

"I never told my family that I was gay...they said 'Child, Stevie Wonder could see this!'"

"getting dot OLDER" also features brief commentaries by experts from Harvard School of Public Health, Howard University, Johns Hopkins Medical School, University of Vermont, and more — on relationships, dating, caregiving, health, intimacy, nutrition, housing, personal finance, and other issues of concern to people over 50.

This series and the previously released "World's Greatest Cemeteries" are the first developed by Celestial Media, LLC. Roberto Mighty, Principal and Senior Producer, says "My new production company will work with television, streamers, networks, theaters, museums and online to reach today's audiences with engaging programs, innovative creative approaches, and expanded ideas about inclusivity."
