The Fall of the West, Marriage, Love, Monogamy, God, and More | W/88 Year old woman Reg Podcast #62

In this week’s episode, I welcome my 88 year old granny to the show.
She talks about relationships - with god and humans, focusing mostly on the dynamic of change, how she has noticed values and practices in the area of relationships shifting with time. We’ll cover bits including divorce, modern dating practices, promiscuity, monogamy, Christianity and how the values stemming from this faith affect people day to day. To her mind, society has become far more individualised than she remembers, and this is a change she bemoans, but has come to accept.

Perhaps the most touching part of this week’s piece is her account of loss. My Grandad unfortunately died of Covid in March 2020, and for my Granny, this was one of the most devastating things she’d ever been through. Here she holds our hand, taking us through how this experience felt for her - at a time where there was no longer someone to hold her hand - and we really get to see how it affects someone to lose a partner of 63 years.
I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed producing it. Peace.
