Thanks for joining us. I’m David yakir and you are listening to yak about today. And as always - I’ve been thinkin.
So, that’s what we’ll yak about today.
So my friends you must have noticed that at the beginning of the show I didn’t say i’ve been thinking about a particular topic or we had a guest interview.
Nope, I’ve just been thinking.
You see, every year or so - usually around New Years, I re-evaluate the show. try to find ways to improve the show. Get the feedback. Look at the shows that work - and those that don’t.
Also, I look at the emails and tweets that have recommendations.
And by the way, I enjoy the emails, tweets that are complimentary. The criticisms - well not so much - but they are teaching moments I guess.
and as you all know much of the communications that we in the media receive these days are over the top and extreme at times. The compliments can almost make you feel godly. And some of the criticisms are either borderline hate mail or somewhat threatening.
It used to be that the majority of the hate mail was gay related. That has been surpassed by some very strong opinions about politics.
But as most of you know, This show has been always dedicated to the wiser and more mature of us, covering topic that may be helpful as we age, From technology to health and nutrition - finances, employment opportunities - learning to be an entrepreneur or even how to improve your memory. And at times the arts.
And as you know and hear every week at the beginning of the show, we say if you are familiar with the years 46 to 64 than this is the place you want to be.
But that only works if we are covering the topics that are important to you or have conversations that you relate to.
I always ask this time of year for you to email me or tweet me with your suggestions for topics and conversations that you’re interested in. The more i receive the better the show is.
Sending in your thoughts and ideas allows me to book guests that would be of interest to you.
So, why not take a stab at writing me at yakabouttoday@gmail.com or tweet me at yakabouttoday. And tell me how i can make this show better for you.
So what do we have planned for this season.
Number one, later this season we will be using using a new platform called Spreaker which will allow us to broadcast live over several of the social media platforms.
In addition we are setting up a system where we can take live phone calls live on air.
In addition, when appropriate we will broadcast the show with video when we think the show will benefit more when you can see it. (and of course that will allow you to see my pretty face.)
-------
Over the next few months, the team will be developing a new podcast tentatively titled Yak’s Tales.
A biographical podcast where everyone will get to tell the stories that made them who they are today.
We will tell you more as we develop the concept.

Ok, since we don’t have any quests lined up for today, why don’t we rifle through our notes and see if we can find anything of interest for you.
And even though I didn’t schedule a question and answer session today. Something came across my desk yesterday that i thought was interesting enough to chat about.
A listener from Scotland, who is one of my favorite podcasters asked a question - well not so much a question as a statement.
He said - you should have more mental health professionals - some shrinks, therapists - psychiatrists on your show. Maybe you’ll get more insight into what’s going on with - as you say - the wiser and more mature of us.
Well - here’s my story that I’ll share with you.
