Moe is an artist who delights in a lot. He likes King Kong, sweets and 19th century American painters.  One time he submitted fan art to Corn Flakes, but they weren't hiring. He takes a lot of pictures and loves movies. So does his granddaughter, Tam.

 

In the final episode of season one, we hit the road with the woman who inspired this series. Her name was Doris, and she loved to drive. 

Four portraits collected at the outset of this podcast, proving that it had legs. Think of them as grandma pamphlets, concerning food, work, wigs and more.

Two stories about traversing distance. One follows a mother and daughter backpacking through the UK after a cancer diagnosis. The other leads to a garden in the rolling hills of New South Wales, Australia after a boyfriend writes a spontaneous song.

Obāchan was a dirty-faced, little boy for a year. She kept a grenade in her pocket. Her granddaughter combs through the memoir she left and presents it in her senior women’s studies thesis. 

Love is a classic. It starts in a small Sicilian town in the 1950s and then travels across an ocean. It springs anew in a gay bar on Long Island. Your grandmas have dated, loved, lost and maybe even screwed around. Sorry.

Omi was a smoker, a German-American rancher and a mythic legend in the Texas Hill Country, at least to her great-granddaughter Jordan. And that was half the problem.

A podcast about grandmas and who we are in relation to them, coming soon.
Listen to episode one on July 1st, 2021.
