MAYBE IT'S ME

About MAYBE IT'S ME

"Am I the crazy one, or is everyone else nuts?" is a question all women have asked themselves. But I hope my podcast will resonate with anyone who is engaged in the very human search for connection, love, acceptance, and self-respect. I will air a new podcast every other week, starting with the essays from my critically acclaimed collection Maybe It's Me, then moving on to newer musings about how to keep learning and growing even as we age. Topics we will cover: growing up female; dating; searching for love; raising a child; uncovering family secrets; living a Jewish life; remembering the Borscht Belt; aging; facing death; laughing at life's absurdities.

   SALSA WITH DEATH

   Is an older woman who travels alone to a foreign country brave and independent ... or is she nuts? Come with me to Mexico, swim with me through some pretty scary underground caves, dance with me on Día de Muertos and tell me what you think.

   SKIING THROUGH SOUR CREAM

   How and where did most Jews learn to ski and skate and play tennis and golf? Not at the country clubs and resorts that banned them. Who was the first American Jew to earn Olympic medals in a Nordic sport? Tune in and learn about the role that Borscht Belt hotels such as Grossinger's played in teaching immigrant Jews the skills they would need to become, well, American.

   LOVE IS ALL AROUND

   Bingeing on the old Mary Tyler Moore Show took me back to my own first job--like Mary, I worked in a newsroom--and led me to ponder what we've lost and gained in decreeing that any type of workplace intimacy is verboten.
