It&rsquo;s a crossover episode! Skyline Drive: How to Live Forever x Part-Time Genius join forces to take on Blue Zones&mdash;like Ikaria, Greece; Okinawa, Japan; or Sardinia, Italy&mdash;places said to hold the secret of longer, healthier life. But what makes them so special&mdash;and why are they blue?!?!?&nbsp; (Spoiler, it has nothing to do with the ocean.) Is their longevity power real or just a myth? And why did the researchers who started it all have a falling-out that might just last a hundred years, too?&nbsp; We&rsquo;ll be back with a new HTLF episode next Tuesday.

Mangesh Hattikudur (Part-Time Genius, Mental_Floss) dives into the booming business of living forever&mdash;meeting the scientists, biopunks, and entrepreneurs trying to turn immortality into reality, and framing death as a choice. But the more he learns about an immortal future, the more he finds himself drawn to the people he loves&hellip;and wondering if an endless life can be a meaningful one.
