Hudson Pride was a blast! In this episode, Liz and Rosie talk about our 2025 Pride events and why these public celebrations are so important, and not just for the LGBT+ community.

We’ve taken a page from Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ “Wiser Than Me” podcast, where she interviews famous older women about their lives, and today’s interview subject is…Liz! Listen in and get wise with Liz!

Join us as we make our movie, actor, and actress predictions for the 2025 Academy Awards! (Warning: two swear words were mistakenly inserted here while quoting a line from Anora!)

Two old ladies watch Super Bowl 59, but only one really knows what’s going on in the game! Still, we had fun - and there’s always the commercials. Join us for our 2025 Super Bowl watch party - until the halftime show anyway. PS - congrats to the Philadelphia Eagles!! A game well played.

Who doesn’t remember the little fruity candy that popped out of a character’s mouth of a Pez dispenser? Join us as we stroll through the Pez Visitor Center in Orange, Connecticut and learn about the origins of this iconic treat, whose manufacturer is almost 100 years old!

Imagine traversing the backroads of Westchester County, New York and Connecticut in near total darkness as you navigate your car along winding dirt roads, following a cursory list of directions designed according to a code you just learned that night. It’s the Westchester Sports Car Club’s Halloween Road Rally, and these 2 old ladies gave it a go! Take this journey with us and see how we did!

We’ve finally found a new podcast recording platform! Thank goodness for Podbean. We’re trying out new background music too so let us know your thoughts! Sit back and listen to this episode, fresh from our couch in Mount Kisco, New York.

This episode is bare bones (no musical accompaniment), but for good reason. It’s been a few weeks since we created a podcast because one old lady misjudged her walking and took a bad fall, breaking her wrist and injuring other assorted parts of her body. But she’s on the mend, so we squeezed out a new episode for you loyal listeners! Sit back and hear about our experience at the Arcadia Folk Festival in Easthampton, Massachusetts in August 2024.

It's Season 2 of 2 Old Ladies Walking! Our podcasting platform has made some revisions, so we have had to also. What do double twists, midair splits, and aerials have in common? They're all things we can't do, and that's why we're not on the US Gymnastics Team in the Paris Olympics. But Simone Biles is! Join us as we cheer for Simone, Suni, Jade, Jordan, and Hezly - the US women's gymnastics team - as they compete in the 2024 Olympic Games. Be sure to listen for Liz's live guitar playing at the beginning and end of the episode!

With an entrance right on the main drag in the town of Watkins Glen, situated at the southern tip of Seneca Lake, the magnificent Gorge Trail of Watkins Glen State Park will leave you awestruck! Climb the 832 steps with us created by the Civilian Conservation Corps and enjoy the wonders of nature and the rock-carving beauty of water.

What do two old ladies, two park carriage roads, and one giant pile of animal scat have in common? They all came together on Independence Day 2024! Join us as we climb to Patterson’s Pellet and speculate about the source of that mysterious poop. And you can read more about New Paltz on DykeDrives.net!

We are enamored with Maine! And as a vegan and vegetarian, it has nothing to do with lobster - but lots to do with ice cream and carriage roads! Take a stroll with us on one of the iconic carriage roads of Acadia National Park as we chat about our trip “Downeast” (otherwise known as Honeymoon Part A - Part B to follow in a few weeks!)

From fishing and camping supplies to swimwear, outerwear, and their world-famous duck boots, stroll with us through the multilevel flagship store of LL Bean in Freeport, Maine! (Listen to the end to find out what the LL stands for!)

Stroll with us as we navigate the roads and trails of the U.S. National Arboretum in DC, chatting about ice cream, Thai food, and Corinthian columns!

What were Rosie and Liz like when they were teenagers? Find out on this episode. Bonus points if you can identify all the birds you hear as we stroll!

Stroll with us along the Erie Canal in Rochester, New York as we share our insights about vegan Whoopie Pies, LGBTQ caterers, and wedded bliss. (We promise we didn’t swim in the canal – the swishing sound you’ll hear is just our coats!) Read more about Rochester on DykeDrives.net!

We’re just weeks away from the Academy Awards and it’s too cold to walk, so this episode was recorded from our couch as we talked about this year’s Oscar nominees. What a great season - let’s go to the movies!

Join us on a stroll around Hessian Lake at Bear Mountain State Park on a sunny early February day.

Too cold to walk today! Take a road trip with us up Route 22 to visit the town of Pawling as we chat about our new podcast artwork, wedding tastings, New Year’s resolutions, good yarn, and the Dancing Bear Cafe!

Stroll with us through our home town of Mount Kisco, New York on a winter’s night. Amble past the bargains of Home Goods, the British wares of The Hamlet, the soothing aromas of Village Social restaurant, and the other sights and sounds of The Big Little Village of Westchester County.

Enjoy a casual stroll on the Pocantico River Trail to the 13 Bridges Trail to the Eagle Hill Trail as we chat about favorite holiday food memories, toasters, and Santa. SPOILER ALERT: Do not listen to this episode if you believe in Santa!

Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture is a nonprofit farm and educational center in Pocantico Hills, New York. The Rockefeller family donated the 80-acre property to become Stone Barns and its associated restaurant. Visitors can view stone walls and sweeping pastures as they stroll its meandering pathways. Walk with us as we chat about mattress shopping, wedding planning…and sheep!

A change of pace in honor of small business shopping weekend: this week’s walk takes us through the aisles of Elephant’s Trunk Flea Market in Brookfield, Connecticut on a crisp post-Thanksgiving day. Will we find trolls? Vintage milk bottles? Handkerchiefs? Join us to find out what we see! (Please excuse the occasional microphone echo and static, as we are still learning how to use our sound recording devices!)

The Walkway Over the Hudson, which opened in 2009, is a former railroad bridge that was transformed into a highly used walkway for walkers and cyclists. On this crisp day in November 2023, it was extremely windy, and we apologize in advance for the disruption it causes in the middle of the podcast, despite our new wind – shielding microphones!

Walk with us on the Auburn Trail in Rochester and learn what Spag 40 was all about! (Note: we thought this was the Genesee Valley Trail when we were walking on it, but we were later corrected!) You can access this trail from Elmwood Avenue, between Monroe Avenue and I-590.

A stroll along the Ashokan Rail Trail in West Hurley, New York. Note that this was our maiden podcast. It was a completely spontaneous idea, so there was no formal editing. You will therefore hear the crunch of the trail, the sound of the leaves, and the interference of the wind. We hope to adjust for these kinds of issues in our next episode!

Meet Rosie and Liz, 2 old(er) ladies who love to walk!
