In order to restore harmony to our planet we need major changes in the relationships of people to the Earth & our neighboring species.

This Week: From Strongman to Song Man à la Québécoise
For 20 years Frank Dutsh (AKA François Duchesne) has been a top-notch competitor in strongman competitions, but he’s turned to another discipline over the past 5 years. Having started on violin at 4 years old, adding piano after that, Frank gave a few decades to other work before coming back to music. Besides his physical strength & endurance, Frank is gifted linguistically & has written songs in 4 languages already. Completely new on the music scene, he aims to be as powerful a presence there as he has been on the strong man circuit. His home is in Québec City, Canada.
The Not Old – Better Show with Paul Vogelzang

The Not Old Better Show, Art of Living Interview Series
Welcome to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast, hosted by Paul Vogelzang,
This Week: Are you simply getting older, or are you stepping into the powerful role of an Elder?
Our guest on KLOI Community Radio is Dr. Marc B. Cooper believes aging should be more than preservation—it should be transformation. He challenges us to rethink what it means to grow older:
Older is resignation—Elder is possibility.
Older is isolation—Elder is connection.
Older has regrets—Elder leaves a legacy.
In our conversation, Dr. Cooper shares how those 60+ can reclaim their power, rewrite their narrative, and serve as wisdom-keepers for future generations.
If you’re nearing retirement—or already there—and wondering What’s next?, this episode is for you. Listen now and start living as an Elder with intention.

Through balanced perspectives and the respectful open-minded exchange of ideas with global thought leaders, Open to Debate is empowering listeners to consider other points of view and make more informed decisions on the critical issues of our times.
This Week: Should We Address the Gender Wage Gap?
American women are, on average, paid 84 cents for every dollar men make, according to the Department of Labor. This wage gap has persisted despite near-record rates of women’s participation in the labor market, with wage gaps even larger for women in minority populations, and its estimated that pay parity will not be achieved until 2052. Should policy interventions address these disparities, or is it more important to recognize and honor women’s personal decisions and find another way to look at the gap
