Waving or Drowning™ is a weekly humorous podcast about the struggles of the “invisible” people: all consumers in America, women over 50, any human being over 80 and those unmarried ,“Single for a Reason” people. Audio, video personal stories and short fiction about the rants and raves of living the invisible life in the multimedia age.
Can you tell me the last time you needed to cleaver an egg, stuck in the carton, with a pizza cutter?
No, I didn’t think so. This is why readers may enjoy my daily blog, titled, “Single for a Reason™.”
Steady readers of my blog should handily discover the reason for the title. But, more importantly, it may also reveal why solo living has its own charms as well as challenges, even though none are tax deductible.
Plus, Singledom is increasing along with the aging baby boomers. In 2005, it was estimated by the US Census that there were 89 million unmarried or single Americans and no one seems to market to us except hydraulic and enlargement specialists and, frankly, we’ve been there done that years ago.
The name “waving or drowning” is inspired by a poem by Stevie Smith where the character realizes that she’s been in water far too deep, far too cold, and for far too long, but when she raises her arms for help, people on the beach simply think she is waving ‘hello”.
The blog is daily and the podcasts are weekly. Any ideas on how to reach a larger audience would always be welcome at pbc@patcoakley.com.
