Claire discusses the Silver Linings podcast. It is hosted by The Old Gays, who became a TikTok sensation and are all about serving wisdom, laughs, and a little lovingly earned side-eye after decades of love, loss, and fabulous survival. Hope you give it a listen and that you enjoy it as much as I do.
