Dying To Ask

A Candid Conversation With Joan Lunden


Listen Later

"So what will it be like going back to television as a senior citizen?"
That's the question a reporter asked TV news legend (and KCRA alum) Joan Lunden that launched her latest book.
The book is called "Why Did I Come Into This Room: A Candid Conversation about Aging." It's a frank and funny look at what it means to grow older as a woman.
And it's told with the candor audiences expect from Joan, who spent nearly 20 years hosting "Good Morning America."
Joan got her start in her hometown of Sacramento. Those roots shaped who she is today and the life wisdom she gained living in the public eye that she shares with fans, no matter their age.
Joan is 69 and a mother of seven. Her oldest just turned 40. And she and her husband are raising two sets of teenage twins!
Get ready to laugh and take notes. Joan is HILARIOUS and, clearly, no topic was off limits.
On this Dying to Ask:
We fire up the time machine and go back to Joan's start as the noon news anchor at KCRA. Find out how asking one simple question got her the gig.
Why Joan says the age you FEEL is more important than the age you ARE. And the science backs her up on that.
The odd connection between the aging process and life in quarantine.
