Podcasts about curry senior center

We got a raucous crowd together for a conversation that started sweet, talking about our favorite candies. Then, we got down to the nitty gritty, talking about the Mar-A-Lago search warrant, top secret classified documents, and whether the law is applied equally across the board for people who commit crimes. Dipped into talk of whether the US is ready for a female president before closing with weekend confessions. Take a listen and learn a little something. 

This session, everyone was still reeling from the two weeks of SCOTUS mayhem. There's a lot of speculation about what the rulings mean about the future of the country, but a lot of agreement that this was an overplay. The RS'ers shared some personal stories and their mission to cause a stir to make sure the country doesn't go backwards.  

This session was recording right after the Supreme Court overturned its' own precedence, Roe v Wade (6/24/22). The discussion was passionately heated and led to spectulation of Clarence & Ginni's future, other decisions that are on the chopping block, civil rights and slavery. Tune in and become a revolutionary. 

This session brought together a couple of rowdy seniors. A conversation that started with bad taxi stories led to memories of Diva, talk about gun safety legislation, jealousy, insecurity and American's achilles heal, white supremacy. Take a listen. 

Jasmine and Rikkilynn joined the RS'ers for a lively conversation that started with examples of kindness and evolved to a robust discussion. Lots of laughs and stories shared intergenerationally. 

This week, the RS'ers were joined by Rikkilynn and Will, two members of Curry Senior Center's staff. The episode starts with a lively discussion of affordable housing versus low-income housing and that led to stories about the politics of the neighborhood between vigiliante and police officers and the absence of community. We ended on a high note with MJ sharing some wisdom: Remember, you are worthy. We are all worthy and we all have skills to contribute to humanity. 

MJ has a storied history, so when the opportunity arises to sit and listen, it's always enjoyable. This session was another chance to sit down, keep quiet and learn something. I hope you enjoy the musings of a personal history of taking care of community regardless of the expense. 

This conversation started with talk about marijuana and superheroes and went all over the place from there. Take a listen and stay for nice lesson in being authentically You. 

This recording happened on a whim. MJ came to the Center and her storytelling led us from music to growing up to hustling with some successful scams. Tune in and learn something as I ask a few questions and gain a whole lot of wisdom. 

Our Revolters are back after nearly two months. In this return, they had plenty to say about San Francisco's recent lift of the mask and proof of vaccination mandate as well as Sen.

Tune in and learn something from the folks that've gained wisdom while living their lives.
