• Death and Immortality; Life Lessons Pt. 3
    Nov 5 2024

    Send me a message

    I continue the Life Lessons Series with a reflection on Dying and Immortality and how your attitude towards these can change as you get older.

    Facing the end of life can be one of the most challenging experiences, yet it is a journey we all must embark upon. Have you ever pondered how to prepare for the inevitability of death or what legacy you wish to leave behind?

    Join me, Bill Monty, as we navigate these profound questions, inspired by the quote from beloved actor, Edmund Gwynn. This episode emerges from a year of loss, as I share personal reflections following the passing of several dear friends in 2024, prompting a reevaluation of beliefs about the afterlife and immortalizing influence. Together, we will explore how historical figures and celebrities achieve a form of immortality through the impact they have on others, and why our own stories hold the power to shape future generations.

    As we close, I gently remind you to prioritize safety and self-care, inviting you to continue with me on this journey through future episodes of Bill Monty's Guide for Getting Older, where kindness and reflection guide our path.

  • Wolf and Monty: Talking Podcasts and Radio
    Oct 22 2024

    Send me a message

    Part of the journey of getting older is the connection we have to places and people from our past. This episode I invite you to join me as I reconnect with my old radio partner, and fellow podcaster, Jeff Alan Wolf.
    Picture this: It's the 90s in South Florida, a time when local talk radio was the heartbeat of community conversation. We were right in the thick of it, riding the waves of unpredictability, enjoying the excitement of our live radio talk show until it ended unceremoniously during a July 4th weekend. Join us as we share personal tales from this vibrant era, recounting encounters with controversial personalities like Steve Kane, and exploring the industry's shift towards shock value—a route we consciously steered clear of. Through our stories, we weave in our broader reflections on the media landscape past and present.

    Now, as we embark on our new adventure from the sunny realms of Florida and Arizona, the excitement of podcasting beckons. With a blend of humor and nostalgia, we say a fond farewell to our radio chapter while embracing this fresh start. Who knows where this uncharted path will lead us, but we're ready to explore it with optimism and camaraderie. Come along for the ride as we fuse the past's charm with the future's promise, sharing insights and laughter along the way.

    Ever look back and wonder how you got here so quickly? At 67, I've been reflecting on the swift passage of time and the insights that come with it. In this episode of "Bill Monty's Guide for Getting Older," I share a personal revelation that's resonated deeply with me: understanding our parents as real people.

    Join me as I explore the lesson of seeing our parents in a new light—beyond the roles we assigned them as kids. They, too, had dreams, fears, and flaws, and recognizing this can transform our relationships with them. I open up about my personal journey and invite you to reflect on yours. Let's connect—whether it's through email or text—and share our stories as we navigate the complex, rewarding journey of aging together.

  • The Invisible Generation
    Apr 17 2024

    Send me a message

    Do you ever feel lost? Forgotten? Invisible?

    I have and I'm betting you have too. I'm reminded of the saying that the only feeling worse than being alone is being alone in a crowded room.
    In this episode, I traverse the oft-overlooked landscape of the aging baby boomer generation, I open up about the bittersweet journey of feeling sidelined in a society that races towards the new, frequently sidelining the old. Will we lose stories untold and wisdom gained, becoming a "forgotten generation,"? Our rich history is in danger of being drowned out by the noise of progress.
    Invisible? Forgotten? How do we help each other? And why does the answer to our senior housing problem lie in an 80's sitcom?

    We're asking the questions and looking for answers. Join us. My voice is your voice.
