It's Our 1st Podversary

Happy 1st Podversary to Unavoidable: Adventures in Aging! Sue and Shan have been your companions for an entire year. Our inaugural podcast episode was released on April 1st, 2024. Throughout this journey, we’ve gained valuable insights into “how to create a podcast” and discovered so much about ourselves!

AMA (Ask Me Anything) about Texting

AMA can mean a bunch of things, but for Sue and Shan, it’s all about “Ask Me Anything!” Buckle up with this fabulous duo as they dive into the texting universe! Sure, texting makes chatting a breeze, but it can also stir up a bit of confusion. So, does it hit the mark for you?

Driving Miss Lazy

You won't be hearing Jessica Tandy or Morgan Freeman in this episode. Instead, tune in as Sue and Shan discuss cars and the experience of driving. While we can’t assist you with engine repairs, we can certainly explore the freedom, fears, and forgetfulness that come with driving as we grow older. Join us for a ride down the highway!

Working 9 to 5

“Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living,” sings Dolly Parton, and Sue and Shan can’t help but chuckle as they reminisce about their past jobs. Were those gigs really the golden ticket to financial bliss? They dive into the treasure hunt of maximizing their moolah while pondering if they could strut down that same path in today’s wacky economy. But here’s a fun twist: they want to know if you’d ever consider having the job of a “knocker upper”!

Are We Old Yet?

Are we considered old yet? What does "old" even mean? Sue and Shan engage in a light-hearted conversation about aging, the feelings that accompany it, and the belief that we may not be old at all! Thanks to our lifestyles, healthy habits, and advancements in medical care, we're living longer.

Finding Your Way In The Storm

Under the current administration, Sue and Shan emphasize that being older does not mean we are not going to be affected by what is happening. Age does not shield us from the impacts of the present leadership, nor does it mean we lack concern for the younger generation. Join Sue and Shan as we find ways to weather the storm.

Fashion - Now and Then

Fashion weeks take place in New York, Milan, Paris, and London, while the Met Gala is hosted by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. However, if you can't make it to any of these events this year, there's no need to fret—Sue and Shan have you covered. Tune in to "Unavoidable, Adventures in Aging" and reminisce about your fashionable days.

The Funeral

Sue and Shan are diving headfirst into the deep end of a topic we can’t escape: funerals! It’s unavoidable! Come along for the ride as we unpack everything from burial costs and heartfelt obituaries to those quirky special requests and the scoop on organ donation. You’ll discover a treasure trove of important details you might not have even thought about! “That’s All Folks” Mel Blanc’s epitaph.

"Was I Even There?" Part 5

Sue and Shan once again showcase their extensive experience along with their vague memories of important events. We have realized that our recollections may not always be accurate, and this episode will further reinforce our understanding! How accurate are their memories and will this be the final episode of “Was I Even There?”
