Leave it to Geezer: Aging Successfully in Northeast Florida
A podcast for senior citizens dedicated to staying healthy, growing wiser, and having fun, with moments of mischief along the way. The geographical focus is on Northeast Florida, where Danny Murphy lives. Leave it to Geezer also features Murphy Meditations based on Danny's inspirational blog posts previously published elsewhere.

Finally, Leave it to Geezer features other episodes based on previously published blog posts which have proven to be popular. These include posts from Danny's Fake News blog and from his Great American Success Story blog. As with the Murphy Meditations, Danny has used an AI voice for these episodes.
