The Psychology of Grandparenting August 10, 2006

Host: Armand DiMeleGuests: Catherine, David Travland, Keith, Sante

Grandparents are everywhere in family life yet almost nowhere in psychology literature. Armand DiMele builds a case for why grandparenting deserves serious study, examining how grandparents transmit love, jealousy, and dysfunction across generations, illustrated by callers sharing their own grandparent stories.

Honoring Others with Good Words Undated

Armand DiMele, joined by co-hosts Ben Starr and Giullian Gioiello, builds on a Joel Osteen sermon to argue that speaking well of others, directly or behind their back, is a small act with outsized power. Callers share personal rituals, childhood games, and friendships that prove the point.
