Address from the Jewish Sacred Aging community and the host of the Seekers of Meaning Podcast. As an older member of his community, one that continues to grow and evolve in the modern age, Rabbi Richard found the medium of podcasting a potentially life changing limb that he could extend to those in need. Approaching an assortment of topics that concern the older generation including the obvious ideas of caregiving and death, the podcast aims to offer information and solace from the scripture and tradition of Judaism, for the modern condition. The Rabbi believes that the audio and preparation of conversation is a great way to connect with a generation who grew up next to a radio and might now be entering the final stages of their lives. In our conversation we cover some background on Sacred Aging and Seekers of Meaning before getting down to questions around audience, audio and technology. We also chat about the doors that starting a podcast has opened and the strategies that have been used to get the word out about the show. For all this and much more inspiring content, be sure to join us! Key Topics: \u2022 The aims of the organization in which the Rabbi is involved.
