Show Notes

Thanks for checking out the Jerry and Gerald Podcast. Jerry and Gerald tells the story of me, at 47 giving myself advice at the ages of 10-12. Set in the early 1980's, I use true stories from my youth, and blend in choices for young Jerry to make. The mailman, Gerald, gives Jerry advice, and Jerry starts to see that maybe the mailman knows a bit more than he is letting on. In this episode, Jerry receives a postcard from his Dad, who is working in New York. He's disappointed, and wishes there was something more, and Gerald advises him that maybe he should give his Dad a break. 

What is Jerry & Gerald?

Jerry and Gerald tells the story of 10-12 year old Jerry and his family in the 1980’s through the eyes and ears of Gerald, his mailman - who happens to be Jerry's older self. Jerry faces many problems in his young life, starting when his parents divorce. I would say most of the subject matter is PG, but we will warn you before any episode that could be potentially upsetting for youngsters. This podcast is not only therapy for me, but hopefully will help both kids and parents see the other’s perspective and use laughter as a pretext for communication on sensitive subjects.
