MAY “CROW’S FEET: LIFE AS WE AGE” Podcast To Feature Mother's Day & Memorial Day Salutes

The 2022 American Community Survey estimated there were 55,892,014 people aged 65 and over in the U.S. out of a total population of 331,893,745, or 16.9%. More of us are living longer, and that's a good thing. Getting older is not for the faint-hearted, but it is a process that is inevitable.

Aging, however, also brings wisdom and humor, a finely-tuned perspective on life. In the Crow's Feet podcast, you’ll hear the voices of writers who will inspire you and often make you laugh about this journey through life.

“Older workers can be part of addressing our nation’s current challenge of talent pipeline shortages,” says Janine Vanderburg, a leader in the fight against ageism and founder of the “Age-friendly, Workplace Initiative”, which won a Metro Vision Award from the Denver Regional Council of Governments.  

 

  “A tribute to mothers everywhere” is how George “Ace” Acevedo, Crow’s Feet writer and podcast host for this special Mother’s Day podcast that aired May 8, describes this special episode. Crow’s Feet writers from all walks of life share their poignant stories about the mothers they remember and how they feel about motherhood, and “grandmotherhood,” now.

 

On May 22,  Lee Bentch will host several veteran guests, including Barbara Kautz, author of “When I Die I’m Going to Heaven ‘Cause I’ve Been to Hell: A Memoir of My Year as an Army Nurse in Vietnam,” who will share their experiences about serving our country and the true meaning of Memorial Day. This special podcast promises to touch your heart for weeks to come.

 

These podcasts are part of a series featuring Crow’s Feet writers and others who talk about their experiences with aging. The series premiered on June 15, 2022. Look for the “Crow’s Feet” podcast on YouTube, Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts. New episodes are released on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month.
