Then, right after that, Debbie's 92-year-old mother died unexpectedly, prompting a lot of memories, much appreciation, and a blunt reminder of life's finitude.We re-ran episodes with some of our most popular guests who talked about psychedelic therapy and about Covid's place in the history of plagues.  *****NEW!

Today, Debbie talks to Jane Brody, the renowned New York Times columnist who until last year wrote the popular weekly Personal Health column. In this episode, she reflects on her 57-year career at the Times. They talk about how she moved from biochemistry to journalism and how she got hired by the Times at age 24.Instead of wilting under discouraging words from the editor who was interviewing her for a job, she responded, "Mr. Rosenthal, if I didn't think I could do this job, I wouldn't be here." Abe Rosenthal was the managing editor and later the legendary executive editor of The New York Times. Jane applied her no-nonsense style to reporting, writing with a distinctive mix of personal anecdotes, interviews with experts and scientific fact. She started the Personal Health column in 1976 (right when Debbie was starting work as a reporter). She  invented the topic of personal health with the goal of teaching readers how to lead better, healthier lives. The column covered everything from common diseases to cancers to death and dying, as well as wellness, exercise, and nutrition.Jane talks about what it was like to be a woman in an almost all-male newsroom and how squeamish editors wouldn't let her use the words sexual intercourse or penis. She changed that. She also tells us why she decided to retire at age 80 and what her new retired life looks like. Debbie hopes you'll enjoy listening to this episode as much as she did recording it. Jane Brody does not disappoint on the topic of making the most of growing older. Mentioned in this episode or useful:Jane on WikipediaJane's WebsiteJane's NYT pageJane's books on AmazonJane Brody and Dr. Anthony Fauci on Staying Fit and Focused at 80 (Tara Parker-Pope, The New York Times, May 20, 2021) Articles by Jane BrodyPersonal Health; With more help available for impotence, few men seek it (The New York Times, Aug. 2, 1995)Surgical Implants Correct Impotence (The New York Times, June 12, 1979)Female Orgasmic Theory Challenged (The New York Times, September 21, 1972)Farewell column: Farewell, Readers, It's Been a Remarkable Ride (The New York Times, Feb. 21, 2022)Column about her husband's death: When the Only Hope Is a Peaceful Ending (The New York Times, March 15, 2010)Column about her 80th birthday: A Jane Brody Birthday Milestone: 80!

Welcome to episode 1001, another installment of 'On The Road Edition', hosted by Stevie Kim. Today she is in New York, interviewing Jane Brody, a pioneer in health and wellness journalism...listen in to them discuss her career and life after 58 years of groundbreaking work at the New York Times More about today's guest: “In her inimitably straightforward, informative and intelligent manner, New York Times health columnist Brody (Jane Brody's Good Food Book) gives pragmatic direction to a concerned yet reluctant readership in this essential travel guide for the journey toward the inevitable. In pointing out that there is a difference between sensibly learning to accept death and surrendering, she reminds us that our attitude about living colors our approach to death. Thoroughly outlining all attendant demands and details for facing one's end, Brody provides facts and support for families and patients, and makes it appear entirely possible to “go with grace.” With bulleted lists itemizing what needs to be done and how to do it, short portraits and anecdotes throughout, Brody covers the importance of preparation; the necessity of an advance directive and why a living will is not enough; funeral plans; living with a bad prognosis and dealing with uncertainty; caregiving; hospice; communicating with doctors; assisted dying; organ donation and autopsy; and legacies. An instructive, inspiring and reassuring work full of compassion and humor (along with several cartoons from various New Yorker illustrators), this volume belongs on every family's bookshelf.” (From Jane's website) (Jan.)”–Publisher's Weekly To learn more visit: https://www.janebrody.net/ More about the host: Stevie Kim hosts Clubhouse sessions each week (visit Italian Wine Club & Wine Business on Clubhouse), these recorded sessions are then released on the podcast to immortalize them!

Today, Debbie speaks with Paula Span, a veteran journalist and the author since 2009 of the New York Times' column, The New Old Age. The column explores, as the Times' puts it, “the unprecedented challenges posed by a rapidly aging population.” That's a pretty broad topic so Paula covers everything from the cost of growing older, to social security for same sex couples, to stubborn aging parents, to the evolving status of medical aid in dying (MAID), formerly known as death with dignity. In 2017, after becoming a grandmother, she added a second Times column, Generation Grandparent. She's adapted those essays for her audiobook “The Bubbe Diaries,” released by Audible in 2021.She's also a revered professor of journalism, having taught at the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism for over two decades. She is the author of “When the Time Comes: Families with Aging Parents Share Their Struggles and Solutions,” published by Hachette.She and Debbie talk about how she explores the topic of pernicious ageism for the Times - not with personal opinion - but with research and data and expert interviews. Each of her columns get a huge response with readers leaving as many as 500 comments.  They talk about her approach to writing as a freelance journalist (always say YES, she tells Debbie, no matter what the assignment is). And they talk about her artful approach to grandparenting. She lives in Montclair, N.J., and travels to Brooklyn once a week to care for her granddaughter.This is an intriguing behind-the-scenes peak at writing for the Times from a veteran journalist. Mentioned in this episode or useful:Paula Span - WebsiteThe New Old Age, Paula's column for The New York TimesGeneration Grandparent, Paula's occasional column for The New York TimesThe Bubbe Diaries by Paula Span (Audible, 2021)When the Time Comes: Families with Aging Parents Share Their Struggles and Solutions by Paula Span (Hachette, 2009)Paula Span at Columbia Journalism SchoolTallying the Cost of Growing Older by Paula Span (The New York Times, October 3, 2021)For Terminal Patients, the Barrier to Aid in Dying Could be a State Line (The New York Times, Nov. 13, 2021)Sally TannenBreaking the Age Code: How Your Beliefs About Aging Determine How Long and Well You Live by Becca Levy PhD (William Morrow, 2022)Nanaville: Adventures in Grandparenting by Anna Quindlen (Random House Trade Paperbacks; Reprint edition 2020)Jane E.

And then of course there are new ideas that come into vogue - and one of the new ideas that I talk about is this notion of being a perennial. So we're very divided by our generation. We have the Greatest Generation. We have the Boomers, Millennials, Gen X, Y, and Z. And in a way, those are divisions that keep us apart. And so I like this notion of being a perennial. Anybody can be a perennial, whether you're 25, 64 like we are, or 85. It's an attitude. And it's an attitude of being involved and curious and often having friends of different generations. So this is like a new behavior that we can start to adopt. That is very gratifying. I've had the experience several times, especially with multi-generational friends, but also I'm having younger folks really kind of keep me in the swim of what's happening in life. And I think that's important to all of us." On Adapting "The thing I saw most, especially I'll say with my Dad - and I think this is somewhat of a male condition. He was very independent, very stubborn. He always liked to do things his way, and he really did not want assistance in general. And he did not want his three kids to be providing any kind of help - I'll say it in air quotes. And we were very aware of the sort of family dynamic and the generational dynamic and did not want to be telling our father what to do. Both because we knew that that was futile and that that's really not how we were approaching these problems, especially when he was falling a lot. So we tried to give him tools and he rejected most of them. And then he continued to fall and he died. He died from a series of falls. And what really struck me was his own father had died from a series of falls. And my Dad had been trying to help his Dad not do that. So in a way, I feel like I have a greater awareness of these issues.

You have an important work call coming up. Do you rough out what you plan to say, or do you decide to wing it for fear of sounding “too” prepared? The best way to not sound like you're reading from a script is to…not have a script. But! That doesn't mean you leave everything to chance. Make a few notes, practice telling a few stories, get clear on what you want. That way when the big moment arrives you can relax into it. In this edition of Doing What Works we talk about how a healthy regard for the future can make it easier to enjoy life right now.Here are your show notes…The best thing to ask a prospective employee is, “What did you do to prepare for this interview?” That's from Suzy Welch [https://finance.yahoo.com/news/suzy-welch-single-best-ask-130007266.html].Casting director Jane Brody [https://www.janedrakebrody.com/] suggests you trust your first impression of a person.The most important metric to track is personal energy.

What do our first names really say about us? More than you might think, according to Dr Jane Pilcher, Associate Professor at the University of Leicester. She claims that our names often reveal important clues about our age, social class and ethnicity that might affect the way that we are treated by other people. She joins Jane, along with name expert and the founder of the British Baby Names website, Eleanor Nickerson to discuss what's in a name. How has this classic British name become synonymous with being middle of the road? The actor Jane Asher turned 71 earlier this month and was born in the year that Jane entered the UK top 50. Jane Brody celebrated her 30th birthday last week and was born the year after Jane stopped being a UK top 100 name. Woman's Hour listener Victoria Smillie wanted to change her surname following her divorce, but realised in doing so that she had never been happy with her given name, Lesley, either. So she changed both. They are joined by another of our listeners, Tracy, who truly hates her name but can't quite bring herself to lose it. By the age of three, Esther Robertson had had three different first names and surnames. Esther joins Jane to discuss how her changing name has affected her life. The author Charlotte Mendelson keeps lists of names and can deliberate for hours about what to call the characters in her novels. She joins us along with the journalist and editor Alex Clark to discuss the best and worst names in books. Presenter: Jane Garvey Producer: Laura Northedge.

We were thrilled to have Erica Daniels Strater join us in the Booth, starting our next 100 episodes off in style! She has been an agent, casting director, Associate Artistic Director, president, and now Executive Director. All at top-flight companies. Erica has so many dear friends in the Chicago theatre community. She helped us all out when we were with small companies who needed casting help and couldn't afford our own casting directors. Her email response would come back pronto with a list of really great suggestions for a role. Early in her career, she joined her close friend and mentor, Martha Lavey, in choosing to make the effort to pay attention to smaller companies and emerging talents and to lend a hand up. A graduate of Northwestern University with a degree in Performance Studies, she studied with an amazing group of artists, including Martha Lavey, Frank Galati, Mary Zimmerman and Dwight Conquergood. When she graduated and was planning to start auditioning, Erica broker her foot. While she was recuperating, she thought maybe she could help out in a casting director's office. She worked in Jane Brody's office, then Shirley Hamilton's, two of the best casting people in Chicago. Then, after an exciting stint as the Theatre Department coordinator at William Morris in New York, she went to work for Steppenwolf as their in-house casting director. She was then promoted to Associate Artistic Director and did a wonderful job in that capacity while continuing to do their casting. She is providing great leadership at Victory Gardens, collaborating with her partner, Artistic Director Chay Yew. Erica is eloquent about Victory Gardens' mission to "be a leader in developing and producing new work and cultivating an inclusive theater community." We have seen so many marvelous productions there, most recently, Tiny Beautiful Things. Erica and Chay were listed as #1! in New City Stages' feature: Players 2019: The Fifty People Who Really Perform for Chicago.. Gary talks to Erica about getting her start in the business, what she looks for in an actor, the audition process, working with directors to cast just the right actor for the role, and what challenges an Executive Director of a Tony Award-winning Chicago off-loop theatre faces on a daily basis. You'll find Erica to be eloquent and forthright in her responses. Just a joy to have as a guest in the Booth. Kiss of Death: Franco Zeffirelli, Italian director with a penchant for excess. Renowned for his extravagantly romantic opera productions, immensely popular film versions of Shakespeare and an active and sometimes controversial social life. Wiki tells us he was one of the only living people traceably consanguineous with Leonardo da Vinci. Mr. Zeffirelli was 96.

This week we texted our friends Every. Single. Time. we thought about them!

My guest on the RetirementRevised podcast this week is Jill Schlesinger. You probably know Jill from her reports on business for CBS News, or her national weekly radio program on personal finance, Jill on Money. Jill has just published her first book, The Dumb Things Smart People Do with Their Money. I don’t read many personal finance books or write about them very often - too often, they seem like homework and use simplistic formulas. Or, they’re selling a get rich quick formula (Bitcoin in your retirement account comes to mind). But Jill has a knack for boiling things down, and her great sense of humor makes it all go down easy. So do the funny stories she tells about her own financial mistakes along the way. Before getting into journalism, Jill got her start on Wall Street, and she also is a certified financial planner. In her book, she runs through 13 of the most costly blunders people make with money; we focused our conversation on four of those mistakes that can do real damage to a retirement plan.Illinois debate raises questions on taxing retirement incomeIllinois is one of the few states that have an income tax but do not tax any retirement income. Two leading business groups recently renewed their calls to change that as part of broader, desperately needed fiscal reforms. The ensuing debate casts a spotlight on an important national conversation about how states should tax retirement income, if at all. The federal government taxes income from tax-deferred retirement accounts, but Social Security benefits for lower-income retirees are exempt. And taxpayers over age 65 also can take an extra deduction of $1,300 (joint filers) or $1,600 (single filers). But state policy is all over the map. Data provided by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy shows that 11 states tax some portion of Social Security benefits, usually mirroring the federal formula. Many others tax pensions and tax-deferred accounts, although some have exemptions that protect lower-income, public sector workers and military personnel. Aside from Illinois, just two other states that levy income taxes exempt all retirement income: Mississippi and Pennsylvania. Learn more in my Reuters Money column this week. You can find more detail on how retirement income is taxed in this backgrounder.Who spends the big lobbying bucks in financial services? The fight to protect retirement investors from conflicted advice has been long and difficult. If you’ve ever wondered why some politicians are so eager to fight against the best interests of their own constituents, check out this new ranking of the largest expenditures for lobbying by financial services firms. It’s dominated by trade groups for stock and insurance brokerages and Wall Street. Keep that in mind as you watch the Securities and Exchange Commission cobble together something to replace the U.S. Department of Labor’s now-deceased fiduciary rule. The SEC is calling its rule “Regulation Best Interest,” and it would be a win for the traditional commission-based stock brokerage industry. As one dissenting commissioner has said, “Perhaps it would be more accurate to call it regulation status quo.” Jack Bogle, inflation fighter Vanguard founder Jack Bogle, who passed away in January at 89, sparked an investing revolution by inventing low-cost, passive mutual funds. Some experts think the Vanguard effect puts $100 billion or more back into investors’ pockets every year.But it turns out you can measure this another way, as Jeff Somer reports in The New York Times:Now, it turns out, cost savings from various types of index funds, run by Vanguard, BlackRock, Fidelity, Schwab, State Street and others, are having a measurable impact on inflation much as prices for groceries and gasoline do.In January alone, the Bureau of Labor Statistics found, overall portfolio management costs in the United States “plunged 5.2 percent,” Michael Feroli, the chief United States economist at J. P. Morgan, said in a note on Feb. 14.Until then, I hadn’t realized that the government tracked management expenses paid by investors. But Mr. Feroli set me straight. He said the effect of falling fees was great enough to make a difference in inflation numbers broadly.In an email, he said most of the decline in portfolio costs, which the Bureau of Labor Statistics incorporates in the Producer Price Index, could be attributed to cuts in fund fees. That includes traditional mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, a type of index fund.Who knew? Certainly not me.Falls can kill you; here’s how to minimize the risk Falls are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries among older adults. Every 19 minutes in this country, an older person dies from a fall. But falling is not an inevitable consequence of aging, notes New York Times aging columnist Jane Brody. Most age-related falls are preventable once you know why they happen and take steps to minimize the risk for yourself, relatives and friends whose age or health status renders them especially vulnerable.Coming up on the podcastNext week, I’ll be talking with Elizabeth White, author of 55, Underemployed, and Faking Normal, just out from Simon and Schuster.
