The "Aging Agenda" Show Highlights Retirement Planning for Local Viewers (video)

Brand-new Franklin TV program offers practical conversations on life after 60

Life after 60 does not have to mean scaling back dreams. It can be a time to choose new experiences, make thoughtful plans, and move confidently into the next chapter of life.

Aging Agenda, a brand-new show on Franklin TV hosted by Tony DaSilva, is a locally produced program that explores the important decisions people can make before and during retirement. In a relaxed interview format, DaSilva speaks with local experts about topics such as retirement timing, finances, taxes, wills and trusts, and ways to make the most out of life after leaving a traditional 8-to-5 career.

Episodes of Aging Agenda are available through Franklin TV, YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. Community members interested in practical retirement guidance and meaningful conversations about life after 60 are encouraged to tune in.

Aging Boldfully: Sisters United Against Cancer (video)

Aging Boldfully is a new show on Franklin TV's All Access channel hosted by Susan Rohrbach.  Sisters United Against Cancer are Susan's guests for this recent show.

The show description: 

"Aging Boldfully is about living your next chapter outside of your comfort zone—fully embracing the uniqueness of you.

For many of us, the idea of aging doesn’t appear on our radar until we approach our 60s, when retirement begins to loom. During this time, our attention often narrows to one critical goal: ensuring financial independence. While that focus is important, it can distract us from an equally vital question: What am I going to do with the rest of my life? 

Each of our journeys is unique. Rather than clinging to the tired concept of “retirement,” we have the chance to rethink and redesign this new chapter. What will life look like now that we are the CEO of our own story? 

Aging Boldfully will explore the themes that matter most as we step into this phase—purpose, relevance, resilience, physical health, mental well-being, intentional living, and mindfulness. It will showcase members of our community who are finding meaning, living with purpose, and overcoming obstacles—real examples of what it means to age not just gracefully, but boldfully."

Franklin TV: Independence Day – Part 2!

We all have rights – and obligations.

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 07/05/2026 

Freedoms and Rights. Yes, we all have them. A wonderful thing.

In his 1941 State of the Union address (A hum-dinger IMHO) President Franklin D. Roosevelt championed The "Four Freedoms” as fundamental human rights. These are: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. I would add a fifth freedom as my nod to our general “Pursuit of Happiness”. We get to do what we want, including the pursuit of things frivolous – engaging in pastimes; satisfying our wants and so on. All well and good – in moderation.

(Bungee jumping? Not on my to-do list.)

However, some folks do make poor choices. Such choices can have negative consequences not only for the chooser, but for society as a whole. While society tries to be helpful through public health policies and guidelines, we as individuals have an obligation to play our part. This is the give and take of a free society.

The first order of business once the Constitution was penned – we added Ten Amendments as The Bill of Rights. As comedian George Carlin noted, “They are not The Bill of Privileges, - because privileges can be taken away.”

We do dearly cherish our rights, and many of us are quick to defend our rights in any personal discourse; especially in heated discourse.

That said, I wish the framers of our Constitution also included a companion set of Amendments call ed The Bill of Obligations. Why? Because freedom isn’t free.

When folks hear that phrase they recall the brave souls who gave their last.

However, in this uniquely great country that touts, ‘All Men Are Created Equal’, there are obligations that flow to all of us – equally.

And – as always –

Thank you for watching.
