Hi everybody, tune in to this short version of the podcast, which we do every Friday. For the long version, tune in on Wednesdays. Hi everybody and welcome to In Good Company. I'm Nikola Tangen, the CEO of the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund. Now Longevity is one of the hottest topics in the world right now. Billionaires are pouring money into it.

You know, when they were young they uh wanted to become rich and when they are rich they want to become young. The wellness industry is selling it. And opinions about how to live longer. And everywhere. So we wanted to find out what is real, what is hype.

And how close are we to live forever? To help us answer this, I'm joined by Sir Venki Ramakrishna. The noble winner in chemistry, former president of the Royal Society, and author of the incredible book Why We Die. Thank you, warm welcome. Thank you.
