Episode 261 - Cycling Through the Seasons of Life Aug 25, 2026

Show notes

This week on the Tuesday People podcast, as Mitch Albom sends his children from Haiti back to college, he reflects on the seasons of our lives and how quickly we move through them. From the springtime of youth to the later seasons that come with age, it’s natural to sometimes wish we could cycle backward. But there’s no going back, only moving forward. We lived those seasons, and they helped make us who we are. Instead of longing for what has passed, Mitch reminds us to look toward the seasons we haven’t experienced yet and all that may still be waiting for us. Wherever you are in the cycle of life, be present for it, embrace it, and make this season the best one you possibly can.

Episode 260 - I'm Fine Aug 18, 2026

Show notes

This week on the Tuesday People podcast, Mitch Albom explores what may be the world’s biggest lie: “I’m fine.” Mitch looks back on how Morrie was the first adult who truly encouraged him to open up about his feelings, sharing clips of the two reminiscing about those important moments together. It’s a lesson that extends to how we communicate with our own children. How do we create a space where kids know they can tell us what they’re really feeling? Mitch talks about starting those conversations early, listening without pressure, and allowing kids to feel like opening up is their choice—not an obligation. Sometimes the most important thing we can do is make sure the people we love know they never have to pretend they’re “fine.”

Show notes

On today's episode of the Tuesday People podcast, as we conclude our three-part "Dear Grad" series, host Mitch Albom shares one final piece of commencement advice: take chances. Growth rarely happens inside your comfort zone. By embracing what's unfamiliar, meeting people who are different from you, and experiencing the world beyond what you already know, you begin to better understand both yourself and others. Mitch reflects on the important difference between simply seeing life and truly feeling it, and why choosing the unfamiliar can lead to a richer, more meaningful life. Different isn't something to fear. Different is good.

On last week's Tuesday People podcast, Mitch Albom shared the first piece of advice from his commencement message to new graduates. This week, he continues that conversation with a simple but powerful challenge: disconnect. In a world where so much of life is lived through screens, Mitch explores what happens when we put down our phones and reconnect with the people, places, and moments right in front of us. An online life is not a real life. Join us as we discuss the value of being present, witnessing the world with your own eyes, and discovering how much brighter life can be when you unplug.

Show notes

What advice would you give a high school graduate standing at the doorstep of adulthood?

Episode 255 - The Motherless Mother's Day Club May 12, 2026

Show notes

On this week’s episode of the Tuesday People podcast with host Mitch Albom, we ask a difficult question for so many: How do people who are motherless celebrate Mother’s Day? Mitch reflects on the idea that even when our mothers are no longer physically with us, they remain woven into who we are. The way we love our children, show kindness to friends, face challenges, or view the world often carries their fingerprints. Listeners are encouraged to make a list of the qualities, traditions, lessons, and pieces of themselves that came from their mothers, and to use that list every year, not only to remember their mothers who have passed, but to celebrate the women who still live on within us every single day.

Show notes

On this week’s episode of the Tuesday People podcast, host Mitch Albom returns with part two of last week’s conversation, gently exploring one of life’s most difficult questions: how do you keep going in your grief when your prayers feel unanswered, and the answer from God seems to be...no? With shared words of wisdom from Morrie, Mitch reflects on faith in the face of loss, the quiet strength it takes to move forward, and the possibility that even in silence, there may still be meaning. When the path ahead feels uncertain, what carries you through—and what does it mean to keep believing anyway?

Episode 252 - In Celebration of the Local Apr 07, 2026

Show notes

On this week’s episode of the Tuesday People podcast, host Mitch Albom invites us to slow down and celebrate the heart of where we live—the local traditions, foods, and gatherings that give our towns their soul. From neighborhood rituals to the flavors and faces we grow up with, Mitch reflects on what makes each place feel like home, and questions why, in a world of growing convenience, so much is being smoothed into sameness. It’s a warm, thoughtful reminder to hold on to the character, quirks, and community that make our hometowns truly special. And to ask ourselves, what do we lose when everything starts to look the same?
