About This Podcast
Welcome to All About My Mother In Law, a series of conversations spanning the last couple of years, where I introduce the world to the now 92-year old Elana Gordon as she shares a lifetime of experiences - the beautiful, harrowing, hysterical, and everything in between. We discuss why she's doing this at this stage of her life after being encouraged for years to start a podcast, and shows us all how anyone can begin a new chapter in their life, no matter what the age.
