This somehow becomes a discussion about pork chops before the guys look at some controversial comments from another ex-member of Pink Floyd. Boss have released a new pedal, the PX-1, which is a 'plugin loader' pedal and the guys look into it and have some interesting views about why the Internet shouldn't be as mad as they are. Brian thinks it looks a bit like a LEGO pedal - but that may not be such a bad thing. Do you still use a Wah pedal? Brian sets forth the motion that nobody does any more. Brian also managed to nearly set fire to his barn when one of his amps went supernova and he tell us all about it. Richard has a new pedal day with a vintage classic and the guys nerd out about op-amps.

Hey humans, in this episode of the HX podcast, we're diving into the "Gen X Leadership Load". If you're a Gen Xer, you probably feel like the forgotten middle child, and I found some pretty jarring data that shows just how much we're dealing with. We're the first leaders in history to be sandwiched between four generations at work and two at home, acting as translators between old-school structures and new expectations. I'll share some specific stats from places like Pew Research and AARP on what this dual caregiving really costs us, both financially and emotionally. We were taught to just stuff our problems down and keep working, but that's leading straight to burnout, and the numbers are higher than for any other generation. So, what do we do about it? In the full episode, we'll talk through the massive impact this is having on our mental health and why organizations should be paying close attention to prevent a huge leadership gap. Stick around to the end, where I'll give you a simple assignment to start gaining awareness and explore how we can become the leaders we never had. We'll see you there.

This episode was originally released on May 25th, 2018. When two women in their sixties start losing interest in sex, their sex-starved partners become increasingly frustrated. Both women blame old age for their waning libidos. But is their diminished sex drive because of age or something else? The erotic lives of senior citizens are typically made invisible by our culture, which can lead to confusion and misinformation. Dr. Pepper Schwartz, the love and relationship columnist for AARP, joins the Sugars to dispel certain myths about sex and aging: Do libidos change after menopause? How does the aging body affect the way we feel about sex? Should medical interventions be considered for a declining sex drive? Dr. Schwartz is a professor of sociology at the University of Washington and has written more than 25 books on love and sexuality. She's also an on-air expert for Lifetime TV's “Married at First Sight.” The Sugars Recommend “Our Souls at Night,” by Kent Haruf “Scary Old Sex,” by Arlene Heyman

The Real Credit Score Formula—Demystified Howard Dvorkin breaks down the evolution of credit scoring from subjective loan office assessments to the current data-driven FICO model. He emphasizes, “If you take credit out, pay it off. If you can't pay it off immediately... try to keep the utilization under 10%.” Focusing on payment history and credit utilization gives you control over the score that controls so many major financial moments. 2. Insider Secrets to Credit Optimization Anthony Davenport reveals how timing and reporting dates can cause credit scores to fluctuate—even if you pay off your cards monthly. He recommends, “Find out the reporting dates for each of your credit cards and set up your auto payment to pay it off a few days in advance before that date. That way, your credit score is going to stay optimal every month, in and out.”  3. Building Credit Without Going into Debt Cullen Canazares shares how rent (and now, utility) payments can count toward your credit score, thanks to new fintech solutions and imminent industry upgrades. For those without credit cards or thin files, this is a groundbreaking way to build creditworthiness—without taking on new debt.  4. Develop a Mindset for Long-Term Credit Health Reyna Gobel underscores the importance of confidence, knowledge, and bite-sized action. “A lot of people don't know the nutrients they're eating either,” she says, connecting personal finance to health. Starting with small, manageable steps, like pulling your credit report or disputing an error, can yield big results. Call-to-Action Here's my challenge to you this week: Pull your credit report. It's free at AnnualCreditReport.com, and reviewing it is the first step in taking control. Look for errors, understand what's driving your score, and make one small improvement... whether that's paying down a balance, setting up autopay, or reporting your rent.

Carren Strock, has often been called a Renaissance woman. Equally at home with a paintbrush and canvas, a needle and thread, or a hammer and nails, she is as eclectic in her writing as she is in her other interests. While best known for her ground-breaking book Married Women Who Love Women and more, her writing style lends itself to many different genres, both fiction and nonfiction. In addition, her articles and essays have appeared in Newsweek, Woman's Day, Ms. the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, PBS's Next Avenue and AARP's The Ethel.Married Women Who Love Women,  because of its enduring cultural relevance, is being recognized as a classic, 25 years after its debut.  "Until I was forty-three, I would have said with absolute certainty, 'I am not, nor could I ever become, a lesbian. I know exactly who and what I am,' says Carren. One year later, after 25 years of a contented heterosexual marriage, I fell in love with another woman. I experienced more passion, pain, isolation and turmoil than I ever thought possible and I began to question who I really was. My journey from denial to self awareness, understanding and acceptance was not an easy one.I wrote Married Women Who Love Women as a way to deal with my own discovery and to help other women deal with theirs. By interviewing more than 100 women, as well as their husbands and children, and through additional research as well, I found that this phenomenon—married women loving women—was not as uncommon as I had believed.I also realized that no woman, single or married, is automatically exempt from the frightening possibility that she too might one day realize a dormant sexual awareness that she is lesbian or bisexual."Learn more: http://www.carrenstrock.comhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064718108918Twitter: @CarrenStrock

Hot Springs Village Inside Out
Retired & Regretful? 7 Big Mistakes People Make After Moving!

Hot Springs Village Inside Out

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 29, 2025 34:47


  Retirement should be a time of peace and enjoyment — but choosing the wrong place to live can turn that dream into disappointment. According to AARP and other retirement studies, more than 30% of retirees who move out of state later say they wish they'd chosen differently. So, what are the biggest regrets we've heard — and how can you avoid them? Let's break down the seven regrets I hear from our audience. 1. We Didn't Visit Enough Before Moving Many retirees fall in love with a place on vacation, but vacation living isn't the same as daily living. Tip: Spend extended time (even off-season) before committing. 2. We Underestimated How Much We'd Miss Friends & Family The emotional toll of distance can hit hard. Tip: Have a plan for staying connected or traveling back. 3. We Focused on the House, Not the Community A dream home doesn't matter if you feel isolated. Tip: Evaluate neighborhood dynamics, not just square footage. 4. We Didn't Consider Medical Access Enough Health surprises happen. Are facilities nearby? Specialists available? Tip: Research hospitals, urgent care centers, and the availability of providers. 5. We Didn't Understand the Culture or Pace of Life Some want peace and quiet. Others miss the hustle and bustle. Tip: Select a location that aligns with your energy and lifestyle. 6. We Didn't Budget Realistically Hidden costs, such as HOA fees (and unexpected increases), transportation, or travel, can strain a fixed income. Tip: Talk to real residents. Get a true picture of costs. 7. We Thought It Would Fix Everything A new zip code won't solve personal or relationship challenges. Tip: Move with clarity, not desperation. While the vast majority of people we encounter here in Hot Springs Village love it and most wish they'd come here sooner, some people can regret moving here. Everybody has their unique situation and preferences. Be aware of them and adjust accordingly. Don't romanticize how you think things may be. Be as sure as you can. At this age, we need to get our retirement right!   • Join Our Free Email Newsletter • Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel (click that bell icon, too) • Join Our Facebook Group • Support Our Sponsors (Click on the images below to visit their websites.) __________________________________________ __________________________________________

Dr. Pamela Roshell's Plan for a Healthier Fulton County: Solving Health Deserts & Boosting Community Wellness Dr. Pamela Roshell is leading a comprehensive effort to transform public health in Fulton County, Georgia. Her strategy is a tailored, holistic approach that addresses the unique needs of communities from North to South Fulton. Roshell's mission focuses on tackling "health deserts"—areas with limited healthcare access. Through strategic partnerships, like the one with Morehouse School of Medicine, she is establishing new community clinics. These hubs offer essential services, including primary care and preventative screenings, to create a more equitable healthcare system for underserved residents. Leveraging her background as a former Obama Administration official and Regional Director for HHS, Roshell brings a deep understanding of securing federal funding for innovative, community-based solutions. A top priority is mental and behavioral health. Roshell is fighting the stigma and lack of access to care through new programs and expanded access points. Her work also directly benefits Fulton County's senior population, with initiatives that improve access to care and promote social engagement to combat isolation. Roshell believes in a holistic approach to community well-being, recognizing that public safety and the arts are interconnected with health. This 360-degree view helps her create policies that improve the overall wellness of the county's residents. Follow @fultoninfo Web: https://www.FultonCounty.gov Call: (404) 612-4000 About: Dr. Roshell, one of the highest regarded experts on health services in the south (and an Obama Administration Presidential Appointee!) – she'd love to talk about how Fulton County is improving quality of life for its residents through developing new clinics in “health deserts,” and working to solve critical health issues for individuals and families in the county's 15 municipalities (Fulton County extends from cities like Milton, Alpharetta, Johns Creek at the top to Fairburn, Chatahoochee Hills and more at the base of the long county!). This includes behavioral health and mental health, some very important topics these days! She is a delight! Please let me know the coordinates I should share with her, and I should have at least one other person to send you for the following day too...   Dr. Pamela Roshell serves as Chief Operating Officer for Fulton County Government, where she provides executive leadership and operational oversight across key service areas including Health and Human Services, Economic Development, Public Safety, and Arts and Libraries.

This month, as the nation marks 90 years since President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law, 1.9 million Georgians will receive a Social Security payment. However, some say the future of Social Security is uncertain. “Closer Look” host Rose Scott talks with Alice Bennett, the advocacy manager for AARP Georgia. Bennett addressed myths about the Social Security program, explained how the program is funded and talked about the importance of keeping the program protected. Plus, this week, several foundations are committing nearly $37 million to provide immediate relief to public media stations at the risk of closure. This all comes after Congress recently voted and approved President Donald Trump’s request to end federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). This move triggered the dismantling of CPB and cut $1.1 billion earmarked for public media. PBS and NPR and NPR affiliate stations across the country, including WABE, are trying to navigate how to continue their work despite the cuts. Rose talks with Michel Martin, a veteran and award-winning journalist and host of NPR's “Morning Edition.” Martin reflects on the values of NPR and its resilience, the importance of reporting on community-based and national news, as well as keeping audiences informed, connected and uplifted.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's back-to-school time, and that includes older adults! An increasing number of people 50 and older are actively learning new things (55% of Americans age 45 and older, according to AARP surveys).These lifelong learners want to stay mentally sharp, intellectually stimulated or even start another career. Some take a class or two based on their interests; some develop (or refine) a talent or skill; and some pursue a high school or college degree. Many institutions and organizations are scrambling to meet this demand among older adults for learning opportunities that are accessible, affordable and – most of all – age-friendly. In this episode of our monthly series NEXT AGE, we'll hear from some lifelong learners and why they strove to continue pursuing knowledge as they age. We'll also learn what's being offered by local universities, non-profits and community groups and some of the efforts to remove barriers that deter some older adults who want to continue learning.This episode was produced by LaTonya Turner and Josh Deepan. Guests: Jan Goddard, Vanderbilt University's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute studentSheila Brown Thompson, graduate of Metro Action Commission Adult Education ProgramDennis Piper, learner at Lipscomb's Lifelong Learning ProgramDr. Brandon Grubbs, co-founder, MTSU's Positive Aging ConsortiumTara Hamilton, Vanderbilt University's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute Program DirectorTom Kamber, executive director of Older Adults Technology Service (OATS) & AARP's Senior Planet
