Me and All My Friends

Introducing "Me and All My Friends"

Episode Summary

An interview podcast with seniors about love, life, and joint pain - hosted by Ben Oddo. New episodes every other Thursday.

Episode Notes

“Me and All My Friends” is an interview podcast that shares the stories of older folks in a way that is entertaining and restorative. It is a show for anyone who wants to connect with octogenarians and septuagenarians (but not sexagenarians - too young). Unlike most shows about aging or geriatric matters, our project will transcend generations while treating our subjects with the vibrancy, humor, and dignity they deserve.

Hosted by Ben Oddo and produced in partnership with Blakeford Senior Life in Nashville, each episode will try to answer the fundamental question: how old do you feel when you look in the mirror, and can we get that person to come on out?

Episode Transcription

Hello, I'm Ben Oddo. You know, I've always had a soft spot for older folks. Not just for their wisdom or their bluntness, but because when we get to talking, there is always a moment where I can tell that inside that wizened body is a young person just like me, and in another life, we would've been friends. 
 

“Me and All My Friends" is an interview podcast that shares the stories of older folks in a way that is entertaining and restorative. It's a show for anyone who wants to connect with septuagenarians, octogenarians, or nov, nona-- ah, ninety year olds. Unlike most shows about aging or geriatric matters, our project will transcend generations while treating our subjects with the vibrancy, humor, and dignity they deserve.
 

We're gonna talk about love.
 

We're gonna talk about life.
 

And occasionally, we're gonna be interrupted.
