Hey guys, in the semi (hopefully, very) near future, I will be launching a new podcast geared towards the interest and passions of graying and aging guys (and some ladies). While many of us are getting older, if you are like me, I see age as a number, and don’t feel older (well maybe my lower back some mornings). I plan to be around a good chunk of life longer (God-willing).
And while many of us dudes in the older age range (50+ish) may regularly crave the past and often are awash in nostalgia, we also still want to have “new” fun and look towards the future. The blog is not intending to just “dwell on the past”, and is an extension of the podcast (The Gray Matters podcast). We’ll always address life as it is “now”, and how the future looks.
The format will include interviews with men (and occasionally women) with various long long passions, that may takes us on a multi decade journey of their experiences with their area of interest. They’ll also be plenty of reminiscing and doses of nostalgic “flashbacks” moments. We’ll tap into and encourage feedback and thoughts which men have in today’s worlds. The good, the bad, the ugly, the complicated and more. But each episode promises to be injected with plenty of humor, entertainment, nostalgic trivia flashback (music, fads, movies, culture and more). Because we all have to laugh at life daily too! I am sure some universal memories and events might pop up during these episodes from our guests that happened decades ago but still linger. Those miscellaneous moments that still conjure a specific feeling or emotion after so many years.
The interviewer (that’s me) is one of those gray guys that matter too. So, I speaking their language, but I am still learning myself, so I’ll be looking for feedback and audience input via emails or post responses. A variety of subjects covered from Surfing, to painting, to photography and more.
I promise it will not be pretentious and fluffy. It will be a fun place we gray guys can meet and hang out.
