About this listen

"Are We Too Old For This?" is a podcast by Rob and Jennifer, who are probably too old too enjoy the things they talk about: Books, TV, Movies, and more. Be warned: Although we talk about kid stuff, this podcast is not for kids. Hey, several studies have suggested a link between swearing and higher intelligence! Besides, sometimes when you're talking about cartoons or picture books, you've just got to cuss. Art Social Sciences

  • Episode 3: "Stardew Valley"
    Feb 4 2020

    Rob and Jennifer wonder if they're too old for Stardew Valley -- not that this charming and deceptively simple game is for children, but it's probably for younger adults, not "crusty, middle-aged Gen-Xers," as Jenn puts it. There are SPOILERS for the game's narrative. There are also nostalgic tears and references to Meat Loaf and Les Miserables. Don't forget to stick around after the discussion for a sneak peek at Southland Books' cool online store AND a little bonus tidbit at the end.

  • Ep. 2: "The Wind in the Willows"
    Jan 21 2020

    Rob and Jennifer wonder if they're too old for the classic children's novel The Wind in the Willows, with its dreamlike tone, its veddy British setting and its pagan gods. Bonus drinking game: Everytime Jennifer says the word "weird," take a drink! On second thought, don't; she says that word a LOT in this episode.
