Aging Boldfully: Steve Sherlock (video)

Aging Boldfully is a new show on Franklin TV's All Access channel hosted by Susan Rohrbach. I am honored to be Susan's first guest for this new 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: Dog TV! Yes, there is one

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 11/16/2025

Srsly!  It’s a streaming channel dedicated to producing programs about and for –

dogs.

https://www.dogtv.com/programs/

For me, some details about Dog TV are – fuzzy.

That said, they came to us for an assist. Magnolia Harter, age 13, is a Franklin resident. Sadly, a while back she lost her lovely dog Crosby to cancer. She wrote a book about it.

She’s raising money for cancer research by baking dog treats – Crosby’s Crunchies. That’s where we come in. We have a TV kitchen.

Magnolia (right) demonstrates how her crunchie doggie treats are blended and baked. Her dedicated dog posse showed up to help crank ‘em out.

And crank, they did. Productive bedlam. DogTV will release their movie in Spring.

Simple ingredients:

Oatmeal, bananas, peanut butter. 

Blend, bake for 25 minutes.

As doggie treats go, they’re quite yummy.

And – as always –

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for listening to wfpr●fm.

And staying informed at Franklin●news.
