A Different 50 Podcast

So Donna thought her Thanksgiving was going to go a certain way...until we started talking about the menu...and then it turned into something completely different. Leslie on the other hand is praying her renovation will be complete and there is a table and chairs in her house to eat on!

Donna and Leslie were both on mini vacations recently. Donna went to Miami and Leslie went to Cartagena, Colombia. We discussed our trips and lament how for both of us due to what has been going on in our personal lives, these mini vacations were right on time! Travel is self care!!

Donna, Leslie, & Victoria are back for Part 2 of our online dating shenanigans as well as how we felt about this whole experience. If you listened to Part 1, then you know what to expect.

We promised you all back in July that the two hosts Donna and Leslie, along with our dear friend Victoria would try online dating for 3 months. Well here's Part 1 of our experiences. Be warned, Leslie was in a foul mood and had a headache - but Leslie also predicted something and she was right on the money! Tune in to find out what that was. This is an adult conversation, meant for those over 50...when the rainbow was enuff!

Donna and Leslie discuss protecting your energy and sanity from friends and family. How much do we owe the one's we love at the expense of ourselves?

Leslie is riding solo this week and decided to talk about some of her favorite podcasts. Some of Leslie's favorites include  Dates & Mates w/Damona Hoffman

Advice From A F*ckboy  and Food Heaven to name a few. Leslie also listens to a ton of political podcasts such as Pod Save America, The Axe Files, and Stay Tuned with Preet. We hope you check some of these out and

Donna and Leslie discuss hair and the struggle. They are also looking for a black owned hair supply store so we need our listeners to let us know where they are! We discuss how our hair affects our emotions, self esteem, etc. The personal choices we make around hair and how our hair is still politicized. #ad50podcast #adifferent50 #flyover50 #flyageless #blackpodcastnetwork #supportblackpodcasts #dopeblackpodcasts #soundcloud #mixcloud #newarkfm #spotify #applepodcasts #blackfemalepodcasters #googlepodcasts #blackpodcasterscommunity #ad50 #afrosandaudio

Donna & Leslie are back discussing a variety of topics including Minda Harts book The Memo. Which led us to talk about why so many Black Women come for each other and or offer up fake "big ups"?! Why do we think we "know" what's going on?? We all do it! Donna tried to get my mic cut off simply because I indulged in some old school Hip Hop. Y'all betta stop vaping....
