New Tricks for Old Dogs

About New Tricks for Old Dogs

Why are we howling at the moon? In the 60's and 70's our generation led a cultural revolution. Now that we are in our 60's and 70's we see another cultural revolution led by folks like us who refuse to act their age. We may be Old Dogs, but we can still learn New Tricks. This podcast celebrates that revolution. It features offbeat news items, social observations, adventure tips, shameless humor, and interviews with contemporaries who are still engaged with life.

   Episode No. 151: "The Next-to-Last Episode"

   The Old Dogs review some of the reasons why people quit doing their podcast. We look back to two special years in our collective past – The summer of love and the year that changed America. And we take a moment to de-bunk some of the more prevalent myths about aging. Once again, we conclude by offering four selections from our treasury of Old Dogs conversations.
