Announcing Osher Stories - Our New Podcast!

In celebration of our 20th Anniversary, we are collecting recorded interviews with Osher members, instructors, and volunteers as they share their experiences and describe what this wonderful program has meant to them in their lives. Our goal is to share 20 stories with our membership and with people "age 50 or better" in the community who may be looking for something new at this stage of life. Listen in as members tell us about how they first found out about Osher, friendships they have formed here, what favorite classes and instructors have been, and unique perspectives about how learning and curiosity never retire!

Host: Julie Myers, Osher member and 20th Anniversary Committee Volunteer
