OK, Boomer Robert Rickman and Millennial Laura Sguigna agree about the advantages and disadvantages of technology.  We had the same experience while connecting virtually!  Join us Wednesday.

"OK Boomer!"

OK Kid,

Boomers, having problems with finances, or with your health, or upcoming problems with the relatives during the holidays?

Craig Paxon of the consulting group Visionary Horizen's talks about how to brainstorm...and actually do it effectively!  

 And Craig and I brainstorm about how to best promote this book!

Jill Graskowitz of Club60 looks at special holiday cards that might help to connect better with your friends.

Then Kendall Boyson will help you to untangle some strings...

the strings of your emotions.  We'll hear Kendall on Encouragementology.

We'll also examine the illness everyone is tired of hearing about, COVID19 and brain fog.  A survey shows that seniors get a headache when choosing health insurance plans. And there is a good chance that Marijuana will be demoted from a schedule 1 drug...to schedule 3.  

That's next on OK Boomer.  Where we're "Keepin' it real!"

"OK Boomer!"

Opening

OK Kid,

For some of us the Holidays are rougher than the rest of the year.  So some of us need a little Encourementology with Kendell Boysen.

 Allee Quick who runs The News Literacy Project, and she says news stories can be misinterpreted! 

Remember 2001 a Space Odyssey?  Remember Hal the computer?

Then Medicare counselor Kim Shefner will examine original Medicare.  Kate Leinart will talk about Medicare scams.

Edward R Murrow will look at the Roaring 20's and see if they rhyme with today.  And Jil Graskowitz will talk about a useful gift that can be used to defend yourself from the Holidays.

That's next on OK Boomer where...

It's the most famous recording, you've never heard!

We'll explain how a small radio station in a rural area broke a story about the crime of the century by being the first to reveal that Lee Harvey Oswald was a suspect in the assassination of John F Kennedy on November 22nd, 1963.

OK Boomer contributor Bob Smith reports.

Both Bob Smith and OK Boomer host Robert Rickman worked for that little radio station in the 1970's.

Then we'll feature the Kennedy wit, and how he and Jackie charmed the country during their less than three year stay in the White House.

It's all coming to you next, on OK Boomer where....

"We're Keepin' it real!

Next, on OK Boomer. Medicare counselor Kim Shefner will give us a brief overview of Medicare plans.

And Jill Graskowitz is planning a weekend blow out with "The Girls." 

She asked Robert Rickman to post bail if things get out of hand!

Then the Mad Hippie was in to criticize Robert's gait.  Yes, The Mad Hippie thinks Robert walks like a bird.

Plus, Bob and Marcia Smith will join us brain strengthening teasers, Kendall Boyson will talk Encouragementology and satisfaction vs DISatisfaction, and radio Guru Dick Taylor will ask, "Are radio people the solution, or the problem for the future of radio.

We'll also talk about the Great Wealth Transfer, next!

On OK Boomer.

Where "We're keepin' it REAL!"

OK Kid,

Speaking of which...

I blanche every time I hear my voice from 47-yeasrs ago!   For those of you who were not blessed with a broadcast career, there is probably little evidence of what kind of a kid you were back then.

This will be hard to believe but I was interviewed by this fellow-Roger Ramjet in 1976!

Also, a senior center in a small town had to move several times for several different reasons.  We'll hear about that.

And Medicare enrollment has begun, and Jil Graskowitz recommends that you look at your options for Medicare A,B,C,D..

And the Lizbrarian

will talk about passwords to we password averse seniors.

Kendall Boyson of Encouragementology compares herself to a chocolate chip cookie...I'm a peanut butter cookie, and Bob and Marcia will exercise our brains when we visit the Off Ramp.

And who surprisingly has racked-up considerable student debt?

Yup,

We Boomers.  And we'll hear about that next on OK Boomer with Robert.  Where we're Keepin' it real!

"OK BOOMER!" says the kid.

"OK Kid," says Robert.

Let's talk about something that is facing some Boomers right now--Alzheimer's.  But research shows you may be able do something about it.

We'll be hearing from Nurse Practitioner Cindy Womack of the Smith Center for Alzheimer's Disease and Research and treatment in a few minutes.

And who might wind up caring for an Alzheimer's patient, or someone else with a disability?  The Boomer.

Karen Cripps, one of the event organizers talks to us about the Caregivers Round-up...where the caregivers themselves will receive some tender loving care.

Recreational activities!  Or not so recreational. The U.S. government is considering taking Marijuana OFF the list of controlled substances which would be good for business.

Gary Kinsell is a professor and director of the Cannabis Science Center at a local university, talks about the possibility that cannabis might be re-classified from a Schedule One to a Schedule 3 substance.

Robert Rickman wrote a novel about his university and talks with another novelist about self-publishing.

Plus: The Mad Hippie does it again, Kendall Boyson with Encouragementology, and Bob and Marcia Smith with The Off Ramp.  

Next on OK Boomer!  Where we're...

"Keepin' it real!"

Let's get the hard part out of the way and talk about the disease everybody is sick and tired of.  In some cases...literally.  We're talking about Covid.

.

Cindy Womack is a nurse-practitioner at Smith Center for Alzheimer's Disease Research and Treatment.  Cindy Womack talks about the connection between Covid19 and Alzheimer's.

Then let's turn to a hobby of too many Boomers which is social isolation. Jill Graskowitz of Club 60 will have some tips on aging gracefully that do NOT include social isolation.

And in the world of books is...me...and my novel Saluki Marooned which is about a major university.

Nancy Herzog also talks about her novel written about the same major university. Guess what university we wrote about.

Also in the program Kendall Boyson....helps us to navigate through life's little challenges, Emily Lake will talk about a type of photo booth that many of us have never seen before.  Radio expert Rick Taylor tells us that the talent pool for radio is.... shrinking. And we'll hear some tips from a millennial about grandparents.

That's on OK Boomer where...

"We're keepin' it real!"
