New Tricks for Old Dogs
Why are we howling at the moon? In the 60's and 70's our generation led a cultural revolution. Now that we are in our 60's and 70's we see another cultural revolution led by folks like us who refuse to act their age. We may be Old Dogs, but we can still learn New Tricks. This podcast celebrates that revolution. It features offbeat news items, social observations, adventure tips, shameless humor, and interviews with contemporaries who are still engaged with life.

Episode 147
The Old Dogs ramble about the useless stuff we buy, stop using, but never get rid of. We ask you what your word for pancakes is. We present another "I Saw it on the Boob Tube." We remember - well, not personally - a time when the Sears Catalogue sold dynamite. We learn that if you failed at Hula-Hooping, it may have been because of your shape. And we enumerate some of the useless things people have in their homes. they may sound familiar. The Old Dogs Conversation is with Steve Rosencranz, a savvy financier who made a bundle, then turned to improving the lives of city kids.
