In the Season 1 finale, Val and Izolda discuss creative burnout, what "refills their well", and how they are going to (try) to step away from being creative during the holidays.  

Episode 13 is out! We talked about creative thinking in industries that don't often reward it, how different this holiday season feels and what we can do about it, and of course some entertainment industry chatting especially about Wonder Woman 1984, and a bunch of 1970s shows. See the image to see the shows.

Val and Izolda discuss possible reasons why we don’t like to examine what happens after the fairytale ends, why rom-com leading ladies don’t realize their own power, why different points of view create better stories,  and what two things Luke Skywalker heard after destroying the Death Star. Oh, and we might have talked a little about porn.

Val and Izolda talk about their favorite Sex and the City episodes, who their favorite characters are from the show and movies, and what they really thought about Mr. Big.

The tenth (10th!!!) episode of the Two Women of a Certain Age podcast is here!  

We talked about Harrison Ford (of course), Robert Downey Jr, Paul Rudd, Tom Cruise, how to get the confidence to step on stage and own it, what it takes to know your role, the slippery thing charisma can be, and we counted down our five favorite Friends episodes.

In Episode 9, Val and Izolda talk about the Presidential Election, Prime Suspect and other British mystery series, why romance novels are a multi-million dollar industry, whether we should make passion a priority, and Joe vs. Frank Hardy.

Episode 8?!  We can’t believe it!  This week, Val and Izolda discuss strong female characters on screen; extroverted and introverted performers and how they think; and how the level of your confidence in the things you love to do may affect how you receive criticism.

2 Women of a Certain Age switch it up a little bit to discuss how musicians/performers can experience social anxiety before even stepping foot on stage; whiffing it in front of The Boss; what to do when the power goes out; jazz improvisation; pesky gig logistics; and why you (yes you!) can (and should!) learn a musical instrument.

We talked about music from the formative decades of our lives (the 70s and 80s) and then Valerie schooled Izolda on the music of the 90s (Izolda didn't listen to the radio at all during the 90s so she's still playing catch-up.

Enjoy our far-ranging chat. We also ended up talking about racism, sexism, and identity in movies from long ago and today.
