Diana was that bookish girl who sat in the front of the classroom and always had her homework done. A self-described latch-key kid with a lot of time on her hands, she loved to record bits of Disney and other cartoons in many different voices and then sit back and listen to herself. It’s no surprise that years later, she landed a job as an on-air music talent, and for fifteen years, she hosted radio programs like “Light Rock Love Songs. and “Night Magic with Diana Wilde.” She adored the job but dealt with sexism and ageism at every turn. “Isn’t it funny how all the rules and regulations that are supposed to protect us are explained away, brushed aside?” she says. These days, Diana, as the “irreverent elder goddess,” hosts the hilarious podcast, “Granny Has A Podcast,” which is unlike any other podcast out there. When I first heard it, I wanted to dump mine and start all over again. Treat yourself to my conversation with Diana and then enjoy her unique brand of humor a la Irma Bombeck. We all need a good laugh!

Jane Leder Podcaster & Author

I am an award-winning author of books about teen suicide, siblings, and men and women during WWII. My feature articles have appeared in publications from Psychology Today to the Chicago Sun-Times. I enjoy the journey of writing, the process. But as I celebrated my seventy-seventh birthday, I wanted a change of focus and turned my creative energies into launching "Older Women & Friends," a podcast. The challenge has been exhilarating and will certainly help me make it through the dead of winter in the Midwest.
