New Tricks for Old Dogs
Why are we howling at the moon? In the 60's and 70's our generation led a cultural revolution. Now that we are in our 60's and 70's we see another cultural revolution led by folks like us who refuse to act their age. We may be Old Dogs, but we can still learn New Tricks. This podcast celebrates that revolution. It features offbeat news items, social observations, adventure tips, shameless humor, and interviews with contemporaries who are still engaged with life.
New Tricks for Old Dogs
Episode No. 83: "Nothing comes between me and my genes."
•
Paul Menzel, Jim Conlan
The Old Dogs ponder the legal and ethical ramifications of using genetics to help solve cold cases. We follow that with a piece on crowd funding genetic research. We present another bit of Old Doggerel. We list five things you may not know about airline cabins. We encourage you to avoid clichés... like the plague. And we acquaint you with a gentleman who can speak 24 languages. The Old Dogs conversation is with Steven Mikita, a tireless crusader who has lived most of his life with a rare genetic disease that has barely slowed him down. Stay with us.
