Senior Stooges
"Helping Old Geezers Navigate Retirement" is more than just our motto — it’s our mission. Senior Stooges is a podcast where three lifelong friends (over 40 years strong!) dive into the ups and downs of life after work.
In each episode, we share real conversations about the opportunities and challenges we face as retired men — from navigating healthcare and caring for aging parents to tackling isolation, travel, technology, and more. Of course, no episode is complete without a bit of banter and plenty of laughs.
We hope you find Senior Stooges both helpful and entertaining as we explore what it really means to retire — together.
