Ep. 383 Today’s Peep Sits In For The Pat Walsh Radio Show, My Doctor’s Advice for a Younger Body & Mind, Nostalgia is Alive & Well, Award Show Fatigue, and The Show Must Go On

A dark studio turned into the perfect moment to reset what evenings—and radio—can feel like. After meeting a new doctor and getting candid about slightly elevated triglycerides, we walk through a simple shift that changes everything: finish dinner earlier, let your stomach rest at night, and watch sleep and energy improve. It’s not about a crash diet or guilt; it’s about building a plate with spinach, tomatoes, avocado, olive oil, and letting consistency do the quiet work. If late nights are your norm, there’s still a way forward: create a few hours of space before bed, keep it light, and reach for plain air-popped popcorn only if you must.

From there, we lean into a bigger theme that’s reshaping radio: nostalgia as connection. Gen Z and Millennials aren’t just streaming 80s hits; they’re asking for human voices, imperfect reads, and shows that feel like company instead of content. We talk about warming up production, taking more calls, showing up locally, and keeping a consistent, human tone across the podcast, the airwaves, and social. That’s the real “retro”—a friend at the mic, not a filter on the feed.

We also touch on awards show fatigue and why heavy-handed politics and overlong speeches push viewers away. The antidote isn’t cynicism; it’s making space for warmth, humor, and real conversation. The show must go on, and it does—with a nod to Leo Sayer and Three Dog Night, a salad that actually satisfies, and a reminder that small, earlier choices can make your body feel younger than your calendar says. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who eats late, and leave a quick review to help more people find a human voice in a loud world.
