Bring in the Bird!

By: Janet Kaplan-Bucciarelli
  • Summary

  • Over time, and sometimes very suddenly, regular people living their lives get thrust into a caregiving role for their aging parent(s) - and find themselves somewhat disoriented. And isolated. Bring in the Bird is a storysharing podcast for and about adult children accompanying their parents into old age. Know this: you are not alone. There is community here. And humor, heartbreak, information, and inspiration. Janet Kaplan-Bucciarelli, the host and producer of the show, is a Life Transition Coach. Find her at https://www.coachingwithjanet.com/.

  • Episode 2 (Really episode zero): The Prequel to Bring in the Bird
    Jan 27 2025

    This episode tells the story of how and why I started this podcast, and why it's called "Bring in the Bird." Think of this show as a public, yet still quite intimate support group for people caring for elders, each other, and themselves.


    Thanks a heap to Kemper Carlsen (Leverett, MA) for the interview and to Airtone from https://ccmixter.org for the bird sounds.

    Thanks so much to Jenn L. for the gorgeous artwork (based on a photo I took of my mom and me on a winter walk).

    Also, so much appreciation to Molly Flannery for the improvised piano accompaniment and Airtone for the hip bird sounds.
