When was the last time that you did something for the first time?

Good maybe you'll consider watching some others on topics that interest you.

Many seniors seem to think of 'Podcasts' as some newfangled thing, and the broadcast tech might be, but the concept of people talking about meaningful and/or fun things goes back to radio days. Paul Harvey, Edward R Murrow (before his TV show, live radio broadcasts from the European theater during WWII). When i lived in NYC in late 60's there was a late night DJ who's name escapes me who did a lot deep interviews with people in the news including controversial ones like Lenny Bruce.

Main difference is a lot if not most modern such broadcasts have the visual component available, often via YouTube Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, the Joe Rogan Experience, Neil deGrasse Tyson's Star Talk. i disagree with Rogan about a lot things but he has some interesting guests including Tyson, and he has at least enough intelligence and decency? humility? to speak about things he's changed his mind on after learning new things about the subject. i have a lot of respect for people who can own their mistakes, and it doesn't really hurt to get other perspectives especially if they approach a subject from a new me angle not just dragging out same tired old concepts.

This was only audio. I'm not ready for another one yet and may do so in my own time.🤓

She told me it's an "I-Phone #7." I didn't know they had numbers.

that's a very old model ( albeit it probably looks in good condition to you, I have old iphones too, which are in mint condition) ..I'm not being critical, but it's important you know this, because with all Apple Iphones the model eventually cannot be updated.. in that you can no longer update apps etc as you would for example on your computer...and I think that might be the case or about to be the case with the Iphone 7...

All Iphones have a number, mine is an Xs (10).. the latest model just released is 13..

I don't need any upgrades anyway. She knew that, since she knows I've never had a cell phone.
I'm still laughing about it; she said it's for "emergencies," but I know she wants to check up on me. I'm OK with that. :giggle:
