    Episode 9: Let's Talk About Tech

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of You Still Have Time, hosts Hope and Harold tackle a topic that affects everyone—especially as we age: technology. With their signature honesty and humor, they remind listeners that they’re not tech experts, but everyday people navigating the same challenges many face when trying to keep up with an increasingly digital world. The conversation centers on one key idea: maintaining independence. As more services—from healthcare to banking to communication—move online, having even basic tech skills is no longer optional. Hope and Harold emphasize that while no one needs to adopt every new gadget or platform, understanding fundamental tools like smartphones, email, text messaging, and search engines can make life significantly easier and help avoid reliance on others. They walk through practical, real-life examples of essential skills, including:  Using devices (phones, tablets, computers) confidently  Sending and receiving emails and text messages  Navigating the internet safely (including avoiding scams like phishing)  Leveraging tools like video calls, GPS, and apps for transportation or health monitoring The hosts also explore more advanced—but increasingly common—technologies such as smart home devices, telemedicine, and online banking, while acknowledging their own hesitations in adopting some of them. Importantly, they address the emotional side of learning technology: the fear, frustration, and even embarrassment that can come with it. Their message is clear—learning doesn’t stop with age, and asking for help is part of the process. Finally, they offer encouragement and resources for getting started, from local libraries and community centers to organizations like AARP, reinforcing that support is available for anyone willing to take that first step. Bottom line: Technology may feel overwhelming, but embracing even a small part of it can help you stay connected, capable, and independent. Ads do not influence the answers you get from ChatGPT.

    Keep Moving

    Send us Fan Mail This episode, entitled “Keep Moving”, focuses on the importance of staying physically active—especially as we get older—and how even small, consistent efforts can make a meaningful difference. Key points: Movement matters at any level: The hosts emphasize that doing something is far better than doing nothing. Activity doesn’t have to be intense—walking, light weights, dancing, or even household chores all count.  Aging brings challenges, but activity helps: As people age, they naturally experience reduced flexibility, balance, and strength. Regular movement can help maintain mobility, prevent falls, and support independence. Physical and mental benefits: Exercise improves cardiovascular health, blood sugar control, strength, and balance. It also supports cognitive function, memory, and may help delay conditions like dementia. Consistency over intensity: The key is choosing activities that are easy, enjoyable, and sustainable. Making exercise convenient (like walking instead of going to a gym) increases the likelihood of sticking with it. Adapt to your ability: The hosts stress doing what feels comfortable and appropriate for your body—especially for those with health conditions or past surgeries—and consulting a doctor when needed. Variety and enjoyment help: Options include walking, swimming, dancing, cycling, group activities like pickleball, or even seated exercises. Social activities can also reduce isolation. Practical mindset: Build movement into daily life—carry groceries, take the stairs, or use simple equipment at home. Start slow and avoid overdoing it.Episode Website: https://youstillhavetimepodcast.buzzsprout.com Have a question or comment or want  to be notified when new episodes are released Email Us youstillhavetimepodcast@gmail.com Leave a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/YouStillHaveTime

    Men's Health Crisis

    Send us Fan Mail Men in the U.S. live about 5–6 years less than women and have higher mortality in most leading causes of death. Men die by suicide at roughly four times the rate of women and had substantially higher COVID‑19 death rates (about 1.6 times, roughly 60% more deaths).Many serious conditions for men (hypertension, diabetes, colon and prostate cancer) are “silent” until advanced, so skipping routine care is especially riskyThis episode is a roundtable conversation on why men underuse health care, how that increases preventable illness and early death, and what might help change that pattern.

    Episode 3 Healthful Tips

    Send us Fan Mail Podcast Overview – “You Still Have Time” In this heartfelt and informative episode of You Still Have Time, hosts Hope and Harold open up about navigating serious health issues — something everyone encounters sooner or later, whether personally or through loved ones. Broadcasting from a chilly Northeast winter, they dive into insights inspired by an AARP Magazine article about facing major illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, COPD, and Alzheimer’s. While reminding listeners they’re “not doctors, just experts at getting older,” Hope and Harold walk through seven practical steps for managing serious diagnoses: learning everything you can, choosing the right doctor, getting second opinions, keeping a list of questions, being honest with family, connecting with others facing similar challenges, and most importantly—embracing life fully, no matter the diagnosis. Through warmth, humor, and honesty, the hosts encourage listeners to stay curious, seek support, and remember their show’s central message: you still have time. They close by teasing upcoming episodes on health topics, including one focused on men’s health, and invite their audience to share ideas and stories for future shows.

    Does Wisdom Come With Age?

    Send us Fan Mail This episode of You Still Have Time centers on the theme “Does Wisdom Come with Age?”, but it begins with a serious discussion about recent political violence and civic responsibility. We normally avoid politics and religion but feel compelled to address reports of government troops killing two citizens during protests. We believe administration and media portrayal of  these events are a troubling sign for American democracy.  Our conversation moves back to the main topic of wisdom and aging. We discuss how true wisdom involves experience, knowledge, and good judgment — qualities that ideally grow with time. We share personal reflections on realizing, often too late, that parents’ advice was valuable and that humility and openness to learning are key signs of maturity. Harold cites a Buddhist saying about keeping one’s cup “empty” to remain open to learning, while Hope emphasizes self-acceptance, authenticity, and the fading need to please others. We reflect humorously on how values change with age — prioritizing comfort over appearance, function over status — and share anecdotes about clothing, cars, and shifting priorities. The conversation closes on a hopeful note: urging older listeners to see their experiences as valuable contributions, to share their insight with younger people, and to stay engaged in shaping the nation's future, whether by protesting, donating, or informing others.
