EP 95 From Public Radio Legend to Award-Winning Podcast Producer

What happens when you’ve spent over 50 years at the top of your field… and then decide to start over?
In this episode, I sit down with Steve Robinson, 79, whose extraordinary career in public radio spans decades of leadership, innovation, and storytelling. But what fascinates me most is what he’s doing now.
After years as an executive producer and general manager, Steve chose to step back into the craft itself, learning digital audio production from scratch after a career that began in the days of cutting tape.
Yes… from analog to digital. From expert to beginner.
And he did it at 70.
We talk about what it really takes to reinvent yourself later in life, how to stay curious in a rapidly changing world, and why being willing to learn something new might be the most powerful move you can make.
Steve also shares the story behind his award-winning 13-hour documentary, “No Regrets: The Music and Spirit of Billie Holiday,” and how this chapter of his life is fueled by passion, creativity, and deep purpose.
This conversation is a beautiful reminder that there is no expiration date on learning, creating, or contributing.

Looking for a few simple ways to age well? Here are two products I use and genuinely recommend:
🚶♀️ Favorite Walking Pad – I use it almost every day while watching my favorite shows. It's quiet, easy to store, and makes getting more steps simple and enjoyable.
🥤 Favorite Protein Powder – Getting enough protein becomes even more important as we age. This is my go-to because it's easy to digest, delivers 25g of protein per serving, and supports healthy muscles and bones.
Waving from Boston – cheers!
