Jon turned 60 this week, which had him asking: “Can I live longer?” So we’re talking with Celine Halioua, the founder and CEO of Loyal, a biotech start-up with a mission to extend a dog’s lifespan. She believes that if they’re successful, it could work on humans too. Jon and Celine talk about Silicon Valley culture and ask the big tech question: Just because we can do something, should we? Plus, writers Kasaun Wilson and Alexa Loftus discuss the latest Twitter happenings, and Jon gives them a fashion show—which is great content for a podcast. The first half of Season 2 is streaming now on Apple TV+.CREDITSHosted by: Jon Stewart Featuring, in order of appearance: Kasaun Wilson, Alexa Loftus, Celine Halioua Executive Produced by Jon Stewart, Brinda Adhikari, James Dixon, Chris McShane, and Richard PleplerLead Producer: Sophie EricksonProducers: Zach Goldbaum, Caity GrayAssoc.
