My Podcast with ‘Senior Times’

I have just recorded my very first podcast – and it was with ‘Senior Times’.

What is ‘Senior Times’? It’s a magazine and website for older people who don’t act their age. Well, many people would say that is me. And I bet it is you too.

It is Ireland’s only dedicated and nationally distributed magazine for people aged 50 and over. Six issues are published every year and you can find them in shops such as Easons, Dunnes Stores and  McCauleys Pharmacies.

It has a huge online readership also and all-together between 40,000 and 50,000 of a readership per issue.

Plus they host several shows throughout the country (admission is free) and the next is in the RDS Dublin on April 13 and 14th.

PODCASTS

But that is not all. In recent times, ‘Senior Time’s began recording podcasts. You can find all kinds of interesting topics from literature, food and wine, to interviews with sports stars, musicians and writers and much more besides. There is something for everyone. They exceed 24,ooo listeners per week and growing.

Recently, they have partnered with Travel Department and TDActive (its sister company)  to talk all things GUIDED TRAVEL.

Anyway, I was asked to talk about some of the long-haul trips Graham and I did over the last 16 years. I began with my first long trip which was to South Africa.  This was our first experience with Travel Department and we were hooked on guided travel from then. We are essentially lazy and want someone else to do all the work, so we can relax and not stress about anything. I tell you all about it on the podcast.

I also talk about a three-city trip to Boston. New York and Washington, as well as India (Taj Mahal, below)

…and finally Vietnam.

My interviewer was actor, Gary Cooke who is great craic. When I started teaching, Gary was a pupil in my school and so we had good banter from the start.

I hope you will grab a cup of tea or coffee and have a listen to the podcast HERE.

Spring is on the way. Have you booked a holiday this year?

Denim....but not jeans! This was our March challen Denim....but not jeans! This was our March challenge for 'Style Not Age'. Ok I cheated and did double denim. But nothing else looked right on me with the oversized jacket. Borrowed sunnies from @courtneysmithstyle who also took the pic. I decided that oversized denim was not for me so back to @primark with it. 
Good to experiment though and not get stuck in a rut!
Check out my friends @mummabstylish @isthismutton @annasislandstyle and @thestylesplash who have showcased lovely denim pieces.

'Buttoned up' is the challenge that Gail set The S 'Buttoned up' is the challenge that Gail set The Style Not Age gang this week. I found this Zara jacket in the back of my wardrobe. Seldom worn as a jacket, it works much better buttoned up and wearing nothing underneath. So thanks Gail.
Do pop over to the blog and check out my friends' wonderful looks.

I love shopping. I mean actually visiting shops as I love shopping. I mean actually visiting shops as online is not my jam. I have to feel the material and try the garment on. Sometimes (well rarely) I buy it online after I go home and think about it.  Usually I just buy it. Who else is with me on this?
