Feb 900:24:01Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailPodcast Overview – “You Still Have Time”In this heartfelt and informative episode of You Still Have Time, hosts Hope and Harold open up about navigating serious health issues — something everyone encounters sooner or later, whether personally or through loved ones. Broadcasting from a chilly Northeast winter, they dive into insights inspired by an AARP Magazine article about facing major illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, COPD, and Alzheimer’s.While reminding listeners they’re “not doctors, just experts at getting older,” Hope and Harold walk through seven practical steps for managing serious diagnoses: learning everything you can, choosing the right doctor, getting second opinions, keeping a list of questions, being honest with family, connecting with others facing similar challenges, and most importantly—embracing life fully, no matter the diagnosis.Through warmth, humor, and honesty, the hosts encourage listeners to stay curious, seek support, and remember their show’s central message: you still have time. They close by teasing upcoming episodes on health topics, including one focused on men’s health, and invite their audience to share ideas and stories for future shows.Organization List Cancer Cancercare.org Cancercommonns.org Heart Disease Cdc.gov Heart.org Stroke Mayoclinic.org Stroke.org Alzheimer’s Disease Alz.org alzheimers.gov Episode Website: https://youstillhavetimepodcast.buzzsprout.comHave a question or comment or want to be notified when new episodes are releasedEmail Usyoustillhavetimepodcast@gmail.comLeave a voice message:https://www.speakpipe.com/YouStillHaveTime
Transcribe →Does Wisdom Come With Age?
Jan 2600:25:22Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailThis episode of You Still Have Time centers on the theme “Does Wisdom Come with Age?”, but it begins with a serious discussion about recent political violence and civic responsibility.We normally avoid politics and religion but feel compelled to address reports of government troops killing two citizens during protests. We believe administration and media portrayal of these events are a troubling sign for American democracy. Our conversation moves back to the main topic of wisdom and aging. We discuss how true wisdom involves experience, knowledge, and good judgment — qualities that ideally grow with time. We share personal reflections on realizing, often too late, that parents’ advice was valuable and that humility and openness to learning are key signs of maturity. Harold cites a Buddhist saying about keeping one’s cup “empty” to remain open to learning, while Hope emphasizes self-acceptance, authenticity, and the fading need to please others.We reflect humorously on how values change with age — prioritizing comfort over appearance, function over status — and share anecdotes about clothing, cars, and shifting priorities. The conversation closes on a hopeful note: urging older listeners to see their experiences as valuable contributions, to share their insight with younger people, and to stay engaged in shaping the nation's future, whether by protesting, donating, or informing others.Episode Website: https://youstillhavetimepodcast.buzzsprout.comHave a question or comment or want to be notified when new episodes are releasedEmail Usyoustillhavetimepodcast@gmail.comLeave a voice message:https://www.speakpipe.com/YouStillHaveTime

Jan 1200:19:24Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailIn this New Year’s episode of You Still Have Time, we look back on a difficult 2025 and share how we are navigating 2026 with renewed resolutions, from decluttering and limiting negative news to filling our minds with more positive influences.

The conversation turns to civic engagement, the “three and a half percent rule,” voting, and getting involved locally as ways to push back against helplessness and support democracy and community.We want to emphasize that listeners are not alone, and stress the importance of staying connected, supporting one another, and refusing to accept despair as the norm.
