Then I chatted with Henry Quinlan, a lecturer and motivational speaker for seniors, on the subject of staying happy in your senior years.

New York Issues with Antonio Delgado and Michele Frazier
New York Issues with Antonio Delgado and Michele Frazier
Tonight, I spoke with both Antonio Delgado, candidate for Governor of New York and Michele Frazier, candidate for State Senate. We talked of the issues that plague the people of NY and our government officials, specifically affordability of housing, utilities, and healthcare. These were top priorities to these two progressive candidates. We did touch on prison reform as that is an ongoing issue with our National Guard still taking the place of Corrections Officers in most of our state prisons. Both candidates had very strong opinions and convictions on many issues that we discussed.
Declaration of Independence Grievances with Chris Lipson
Declaration of Independence Grievances with Chris Lipson
Tonight, my friend Chris Lipson and I continued our quest to review the 27 grievances the colonies had against the King of England as stated in the Declaration of Independence. We regret that we couldn't address all 27 but we picked out the 8 that are most relevant to our experiences with our Federal government today and read them as they were written and then explained them in our language of today. Anyone listening should go to the Declaration of Independence document so they can see that we scripted nothing for our own personal beliefs.
About the Show
Planet Seniors is dedicated to the proposition that senior citizens are a valuable resource for education, knowledge and expertise. They can, as well, provide the threads that weave the tapestry together providing history and anecdotes for families, friends and communities. “But, more than that”, says host Rita Vanacore, “seniors are vibrant and active and they laugh, hurt, love and stand up for causes just like the rest of the population. Therefore, they should be given just as much ‘air time’ as their younger counterparts.”
Planet Seniors will offer information, fun, whimsy, oldies but goodies and a voice for the listening and participating pleasure of this increasing part of our population known as senior citizens.
