Ramble: social media for seniors. Podnuggets: What the heck is bruxism?  A postcard arrives a century late.  The king of sting. Just say “no” to see-through public toilets. Interview: Tecla Murphy, publisher of the popular seniors magazine, Outlook By the Bay.

In this episode the old dogs ramble about passing along our infinite wisdom to our heirs. We share fascinating – and relevant – information about the role of older elephants. We caution about the overzealous use of fly swatters. We study the new social phenomenon of walk-tailing, we tell the tale of a retired cop who finally got his man. And we mourn the passing of one of our boyhood heroines, Diana Rigg. The Old Dogs conversation is with David Henry: an international authority on what’s going on in the wild lands above the Artic Circle. 

The Old Dogs ramble about the funding crisis in small arts organizations - and what that may mean for thousands of performers... The usual assortment of unlikely news items... A conversation with a couple of expats, Sandy Hardwick and Shirley Pettis, who found not only cheaper living in Costa Rica, but a more rewarding life.

The Old Dogs ramble about the rising tide of robots and artificial intelligence - probably in order to deflect the conversation from their own intelligence. Also, podnuggets about, yes, intelligent glasses, trading a hairpin for a house, robot movie stars, and a brief celebration of the long life of Olivia deHavilland. The Old dogs conversation is with Susan Alexander, whose search for a “real job” led her to degrees in English, business, law and who knows what else. 

Old Dogs Ramble about complaining: when to complain, when not to complain, what to complain... you get the idea. We also feature podnuggets on how not to lose weight, Isaac Newton - the pandemic remedies, now not to lose weight, making a fashion statement out of left-behind laundry, the payoffs of being kind, and - ohboy - a 14,000-year-old stool sample. Is this quality entertainment or what? The Old Dogs conversation is with Elaine Adams, an octogenarian with a love of birds... and opera.

The Old Dogs reflect on how to know when to turn in our driver license. Funny Marriage Musings. A Surplus of Bathing Suits. Michele Watkins on Loneliness. Regional Slang. Getting a Piano for a Song. The Old Dogs chat with JOHN FLORIAN, founder of the nationally awarded Voice Over Xtra information service for voice talent.

The passing of Carl Reiner leads the Old Dogs to dredge up memories of the comedy of the 50's, morality, protests, bad behavior and, of course, The American Way. Also, the usual array of silly podnuggets and an interview with the Heartbeat of a major metropolitan newspaper.

Once again the Old Dogs offer tricks for coping, including a discussion on what makes us resilient... buying books, but not reading books... a ballpark organist finds a new audience... Three Amigas discover fantasy travel... and a conversation with John Madden, master of the trickiest and most expensive puzzles you've ever heard of.

A brief and baffling conversation with a Gen-Z-er about current slang. Shopping madness moves online. The Ancient Truth about the so-called Weaker Sex. Nutty Neologisms. Exploring the globe without leaving home. A conversation with Dian Griesel, author of the Silver Disobedience Blog, who believes that getting to know ourselves with kindness will help us - and help us understand others better.

Old Dogs talk through their masks... mindless eating... goodbye Eddie Haskell... catching up with Kristin Bartell... car-eating rats... relax-productivity is now optional. Old Dogs conversation: Jean and John Ranahan. After living all over the world they settled in a most unlikely place.
