Backyard Oasis is a local podcast designed by and for older adults living in the beautiful Pioneer Valley of western Massachusetts and produced in the multimedia studios at Greenfield Community College in Greenfield, MA. Backyard Oasis reaches out to older adults who seek knowledge to help them live more thoughtfully, healthily and happily; who hope to inspire others with their ideas; and who serve their communities in the interest of greater good. Join us frequently in the Backyard Oasis for wide-ranging conversations with a diversity of people who are growing older… and want to talk about it!
Created by Dennis Lee, Denise Schwartz, Chad Fuller, Christine Copeland, and Judy Raper. Produced by Alex Audette at Greenfield Community College’s Teaching and Learning Innovation Center.
