Six months can change everything.

This week, we caught up with Amy Walls six months after our first conversation to discover how life can change when opportunity meets perseverance. Along the way, we share stories about career transitions, education, public broadcasting, and finding purpose again—with plenty of laughter and a few classic "boomer moments."

From behind the scenes at a television station to heartfelt conversations about literacy especially for kids, community service, and the future of PBS, this episode proves that career paths are rarely straight (and that's what makes them interesting). If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to start over, or if your next opportunity might be just around the corner, this conversation is for you.

What happens when two Southern Illinois University graduates from different decades sit down to compare college memories?

In this episode of OK Boomer, Robert Rickman and Flint Cheney return to their Saluki roots and discover that while the years may have changed, the stories are just as unforgettable.
From the legendary Halloween celebrations of the 1990s to the protests and campus unrest of the 1970s, Flint and Robert share memories of a university that was anything but ordinary. Along the way, they revisit favorite professors, campus traditions, radio and television programs, photography classes, and the unique spirit that made SIU feel like home.

Flint also shares how a chance decision to study Japanese led him to spend a year at Southern Illinois University's exchange campus in Nakajo, Japan—a life-changing experience that expanded his world far beyond southern Illinois.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where the conversation takes an unexpected turn into Animal House, John Belushi, John Candy, and SIU's surprising connection to one of the most famous college movies ever made.

Sometimes all you need is coffee… and a conversation that travels halfway across the world. In this episode of OK Boomer, Robert chats with Endah — a multitasking powerhouse juggling family responsibilities, business, and a growing passion for language and communication.

How does someone manage translation work, social media, family duties, and still find time to enjoy life? Apparently, the answer includes bicycles, quiet moments, and the occasional dramatic family road trip (no cousins were harmed… just emotionally exhausted).

From learning English to connecting across cultures, this episode is a reminder that language is more than words — it’s about people, stories, and shared laughter.

Diana Walters is a psychotherapist, a fellow Boomer, and a woman who got ripped off by Medicare — twice. Once as a provider who never got paid, and another as a patient who didn't know someone in Florida was spending her benefits.

We talk fraud and scams that eventually shut down her practice, and why your EOB is more important than you think.

What happens when a Boomer podcast host sits down with a cusp-Gen Z entrepreneur to talk burnout, ADHD, business fatigue… and zombies? In this episode of OK Boomer, we explore why businesses really close (hint: it’s not just money), how founders burn out, and what happens when you stop seeing options and only see liabilities. We also dive into generational stereotypes, the evolution of tech from DOS to AI, the realities of minimum wage, and whether too much virtual life is giving us a new kind of “jet lag.”

Plus: a giant painted pit, community art therapy (definitely not therapy), Plants vs. Zombies procrastination strategy, and the bold question — are humans built for this much technology? It’s thoughtful. It’s funny. It’s slightly chaotic. Okay, Boomer. 🎙️ #communitysupport #burnrecovery #digitalart #adhd #entrepreneurship #mentalhealthawareness

What happens when a boomer with ADHD meets a millennial who prefers paddle boards over treadmills? Chaos… but the fun kind. In this episode of OK Boomer, we dive into everything from “Monopoly on the Truth” (no board required!) to how different generations approach exercise, technology, and—let’s be honest—life itself.

Amanda shares why she’d rather hike a mountain than step foot in a gym, while our boomer host reminisces about walking uphill both ways in the snow (of course). They also tackle ADHD, information overload, and the modern struggle of figuring out what’s actually true on the internet. Sprinkle in some tech frustrations, paddle- board mishaps, and a few “Okay, boomer” moments, and you’ve got yourself a conversation that’s equal parts insightful and entertaining.

🎧 Expect laughs, relatable chaos, and maybe even a few life lessons. Welcome to OK Boomer! #adhd #adhdawareness

What happens when a Boomer with newly diagnosed ADHD sits down with two younger minds who’ve been navigating it their whole lives? Chaos, laughter, and surprisingly honest conversation. In this episode of OK Boomer, Robert is joined by Sandra and Aeazia to talk about ADHD, distractions, and how different generations see the same brain in totally different ways. From multitasking like a superhero to losing your car in the Walmart parking lot for the hundredth time—this conversation proves that ADHD might just be a different way of thinking. They discuss neurodiversity, personal experiences with ADHD, mental health advocacy, and the idea that what society calls a “disorder” might actually be a powerful personality type. Along the way you'll hear stories about flying airplanes, radio broadcasting mishaps, brain fog, and why drinking too much coffee might make everything even more interesting. If you’ve ever forgotten where you parked, lost your train of thought mid-sentence, or started five projects at once… this episode might feel a little too relatable. So grab some coffee, embrace the chaos, and join the conversation. Welcome to OK Boomer. #adhd #neurodiversity #neurodiverse #creativity #multitasking

In Part 2 of OK Boomer, we check back in with Eileen Kindred—a single mom, artist, and professional multitasker—who’s been juggling work, parenting, and survival in today’s economy.

The good news? She found her mojo. Yes, that mojo. The kind you lose after failed job interviews and find again when someone hires you on the spot.

We talk about burnout, creativity, parenting, money stress, hope for the future, and—unexpectedly—crochet vs. knitting (spoiler: they are not the same thing).

This episode is honest, awkward, funny, and very real. It’s about what happens when life is still hard—but finally feels like it’s turning a corner.

In this episode of OK Boomer, Robert sits down with millennial Eileen at a cozy coffee shop overlooking the Tennessee River to talk about a modern workplace paradox: when a job feels “secured” right up until it isn’t.

Eileen shares a real story about a friend who received glowing performance reviews, signed up for benefits, and was fired the very next day.

We unpack how corporations talk about “high value employees” while quietly prioritizing profit over people. The conversation dives into low wages, rising cost of living, gig work survival, and why working harder no longer guarantees stability.

With humor, honesty, and zero corporate buzzwords, this episode captures what it’s like trying to stay afloat in today’s economy. 🎥

Topics: job secured myths, high-value labor, stagnant wages, cost-of-living reality
