Hey folks, this is Kevin. On this week's episode of Riskyl here, Doreen Stern!

If you're gonna come, you're gonna do it my way. My way, do you get it? I've been doing this for 50 years. It's my way.

That and more, but before that, I need to give some Patreon shout outs here to new Patreon members,

Eleni Saksden, Alan Weber and Melvin Matthias. Guys, thank you so much. We are really, really excited

about the level of support people are coming through with Patreon lately. It's really making us feel like

some real security and feel like we're building rather than just surviving. And all of our Patreon

supporters not only get all the bonus content there, the bonus stories, the check-ins, the interviews

that they are very much so, very much so helping keep this thing going, that they are really an

essential part of this entire project. So huge gratitude to those who have recently signed up.

I'm Kevin Allyson, this is David Bowie, behind me now and we are calling this week's episode

older folks, kind of an interesting episode in that all four stories we're going to hear are from

folks in their senior years who are always fascinating to hear from. Now in the history of the show,

we've had incidents where an older person will tell a story on the show and some listener will
