About This Podcast

OURGENPOD "talkin' 'bout Our Generation" is a bold, intelligent, irreverent podcast about life in America -- how we got here, and how we can make things better. We're focused on the generation of people 55+ -- like us -- but all are welcome. We just don't believe in Ageism. We're confronting some big challenges as a nation and globally, and we're all in this together. We don't confront, rant and rave (too much); we're looking for solutions. We've talking about the dangerous decline in civility in America. Our content is guided by our audience: we listen to our listeners. So please join the conversation, but just try to be civil!
