20/40

Can one person make a difference to the world? To another person? Kirstie and Jen discuss altruism, volunteering and whether their media roles count as a contribution. They also talk about people who have made a big difference to them - and their choices are not who each other were expecting.
20/40 is a podcast celebrating conversations and friendship across generations. Your podcast hosts are Kirstie Fitzpatrick (the 20 something) and Jen Seyderhelm (the 40 something). Kirstie and Jen met while working in the media. Initially their catch ups were defined by work roles which required sharing current affairs and news with each other. It didn't take long before they found they were seeking each other out on personal matters - relationships, family, social life, health, work and more. They discovered an abundance in common and the twenty year age gap a bonus rather than hindrance.
Kirstie and Jen would love your feedback, thoughts and ideas towards an upcoming "Ask Us Anything" episode.
Please also share your pets, past and present so we know their names too. You can contact us via our Facebook page 20/40 or email [email protected]

Neither Jen or Kirstie can imagine a world without their pets. They also think it terribly unfair that pets don't live as long as their humans. Both have lost pets in traumatic circumstances that they've never forgotten. You never forget your pets; they're family.

Fun. Jen savours the fun in her life. Kirstie's not sure what having fun means exactly. They discuss their changing attitudes towards both fun, joy and being funny, how different situations bring out different aspects of themselves and how they both LOVE grocery shopping!
Then, the fun really begins with Jen and Kirstie doing an exercise where they have to describe themselves and each other in three words. Conscientious anyone??
What three words would you use to describe yourself?
What three words do you think others would use?

Want to feel old? Macaulay Culkin is 40. Mullets (and god forbid SKULLETS) are in again and Kirstie doesn't know who Jen's teen idol Andrew McCarthy is.
In this episode Kirstie and Jen discuss phones, cars, chain letters, pen pals, travel, fashion and how all this has changed over their lifetimes.

Jen wonders whether having everything in common is a good thing in relationships or whether it is more important to be at a similar point in life's journey. Kirstie appreciates goals, values and kindness in friends, Jen likes those who question and are proactive in creating change, even befriending such people on social media. Same, different or similar path - what do you look for?
