Ask Me Anything

It snuck up on me. I guess I’ve been distracted by a few things, like 2021 in general. But I realized in the past month I’ve crossed over three big milestones:

4 years of The Midlife Mixtape Podcast
10 years of blogging at MidlifeMixtape.com
200,000+ downloads of the podcast

And I’m about to hit the 100th episode on June 22nd.

If that doesn’t call for a party I don’t know what does. Especially when all of us have earned the right to celebrate any and every success, including finding a good parking spot at the grocery story.

So in that spirit, Episode 100 is going to be a party, where I turn the interviewer seat over to YOU for a change.

Ask me anything. Send me your questions, about midlife, music, podcasting, gratitude, Oakland, writing, reading recs, Netflix shows, Outlander on Starz, hiking trips, whatEVER. As long as the question (and answer) is something I don’t mind my elderly relatives hearing, I promise I will answer it.

And if you send in a question, you’ll be entered to win one of THREE Midlife Mixtape 100th Episode Party Packs.

Pack 1: a bundle of books from past guests, including but not limited to The Chicken Sisters by KJ Dell Antonia, Why We Can’t Sleep by Ada Calhoun, and I Miss You When I Blink by Mary Laura Philpott.
Pack 2: a bundle of my favorite music-themed books, including but not limited to All I Ever Wanted by FUTURE ROCK HALL OF FAMER Kathy Valentine (The Go-Gos), Good Booty by Ann Powers, and On Bowie by Rob Sheffield.
Pack 3: a Thank-You Project bundle, with a signed copy of my book and some other goodies thrown in there too.

I’ve loved getting to know you through your contributions to the Listeners’ Stories episodes – your teenage jobs, your first concerts, your pandemic grief and gratitude. Feels only fair to put myself in the hot seat for a change.

So leave your question in the comments or email dj@midlifemixtape.com or drop it into social media on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram. If you’re particularly interested in one of the prize packs feel free to mention it too. I’ll pick winners at random, to be announced in the 100th episode.

Now I need to research a signature cocktail, make sure we have enough ice, and start hanging the streamers for June 22nd. Can you believe it?!
