Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast

In this unforgettable episode of Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast, Andy sits down with two residents of Kavod Senior Life whose life stories are filled with resilience, heartbreak, humor, and hope. Beverly shares an incredibly emotional journey through childhood abuse, addiction, domestic violence, and ultimately finding faith and sobriety. Her story is one of survival, forgiveness, and discovering purpose after unimaginable trauma. Today, she dedicates her life to helping women facing the same struggles she once endured. Then, sociology professor Tim Diamond brings decades of wisdom—and plenty of laughs—to a wide-ranging conversation about healthcare, Social Security, climate change, education, aging, and what younger generations should know before it's too late. Along the way, he reflects on near-death experiences, teaching around the world, and why conversation is still one of humanity's greatest tools. This episode is a powerful reminder that every person has a story worth hearing, and that some of life's greatest lessons come from those who've lived the longest.

David Shaw (The Revivalists) joins Andy for one of the most honest conversations we've had in a long time.
Instead of promoting a record, these two dive into the stuff that actually sticks with you: anxiety, fatherhood, burnout, creativity, taking risks, finding happiness, and what it means to reinvent yourself in the middle of life instead of waiting until it's over.

Check out our new partner JamCut to change the way you create videos. It's video editing for musicians made simple. 
They talk about:
• Why "midlife crisis" should really be called a midlife awakening
• Learning to trust yourself when life forces big decisions
• Songwriting, imposter syndrome, and creating music that reflects who you are now
• Mental health, breathwork, saunas, sleep, and recovering from burnout
• Why comfort can become a trap
• Touring, family life, and finding joy in the little things again
• The signs the universe gives us when we're willing to pay attention
It's funny, vulnerable, philosophical, and packed with the kind of conversation that usually happens after the microphones are supposed to be off.
If you've ever wondered what successful artists worry about when no one's watching, this one's for you.
