Back in the summer of 1946, Jimmy Stewart and Frank Capra made a Christmas movie. Upon its release that winter, It's A Wonderful Life was a box-office afterthought. Nominated for best picture, it lost to the war film The Best Years Of Our Lives. But since then—thanks in large part to the fact that It's A Wonderful Life fell into the public domain due to a clerical error—the film has become the picture Frank Capra always knew it could, one of the greatest ever made. On this special episode of Writing While Handicapped, presented by the Authors On The Air Global Radio Network, join Jimmy Hawkins, who played the youngest of George and Mary Bailey's children, Tommy, His book, The Heart Of It's A Wonderful Life, is out now, and Jimmy is eager to tell you what it was like to be at the studio with these Hollywood greats way back when!

In Leaving Home at 83, Sandra Butler invites us into one of life's most daunting transitions: leaving the home you've known for fifty years and beginning again in a residential facility far from everything familiar. With wit, warmth, and unflinching honesty, she chronicles the misadventures that come with late-life reinvention—masked conversations, misbehaving hearing aids, institutional food with questionable seasoning, and the ongoing dance of reassuring her children while navigating her own vulnerability. This interview celebrates resilience, humor, aging on one's own terms, and the radical bravery of saying, “I'm not done yet.” Join us for a conversation that will challenge assumptions, spark laughter, and honor the power of beginning again—at any age. #OnTheAirWithFlorenza #SandraButler #LeavingHomeAt83 #AgingWithHumor #QueerElderVoices #JewishElders #LateLifeReinvention #WomenWhoWrite #ElderWisdom #StartOverAtAnyAge #Intermissions #SandraButler #LeavingHomeAt83 #ElderWisdom #WomenAgingBoldly #QueerElderVoices #NewBeginnings #LifeStories #BookishFun #FlorenzaLee #FlorenzaSays #WordstoPonder #OntheAirwithFlorenza
