Welcome to Spoken Memory Connections, a treasure trove of personal recollections of family, food and fun times, when we were young. All food topics from the olden days are on the table, so pull up a chair & join us! The podcast episodes are short, so they're easily digested and they're full of goodness. Why is that? Because Goodness increases when we share it with others. It makes me happy to share these stories with you, I hope you enjoy them--reliving good times with family. My Bachelor's Degree is in Gerontology from San Diego State University. Contact me to set up an interview.
