So, Fiona and I did our first BlogTalkRadio podcast last Sunday. Fiona's Nanna called in, and we all had a great chat. We haven't nailed down what our format is going to be. How much will I talk about the eclectic set of topics I like to discuss on Orient Lodge? How much will it be Fiona's show? What role will the extended family play in the show?

Yesterday, I got a nudge in the extended family direction. Call Your Nana added me as a friend on BlogTalkRadio. This is a weekly show where Nana, aka Miriam, talks with her granddaughter, aka Hilary. So, I listened in to their last broadcast, Relax More!. It was a great show. Full of family stories and discussions about how people relax. Today, at 4PM PT, 7PM for those of us on the east coast, they will have their one year anniversery show.

I'm in New York City today, briefly online via the WiFi in Washington Square Park. I expect to be home this evening in time to listen to the show and send them my congratulations. You should listen in too. Then, next Sunday, Fiona and I will do our next broadcast. We'll see how it turns out. It is Morther's day, afterall, and people may be distracted. However, at least for the time being, I hope to focus on intergenerational issues, including getting older extended family members to share stories from when they were younger, and thinking about what we can learn from them today. Plase tune in and say hi.
