Julia Louis-Dreyfus: 本播客源于她对老年女性声音缺失的关注，旨在提供一个平台，让她们分享人生经验，包括死亡、悲伤、野心等主题。她选择播客这种媒介，是因为它能促进深入、轻松的对话，避免了传统电视节目中妆容和观众带来的压力。节目的主题选择主要取决于受访女性自身的生活经历，但她也会围绕一些共同话题展开讨论。与老年女性的对话让她更愿意分享自己，改变了她以往的私密作风。她认为老年女性‘不再在乎’的态度并非消极，而是摆脱了虚伪，更真实地表达自我。她认为应对人生困境的关键在于人际连接，而当今社会的隔离感正在造成负面影响。 Kara Swisher: 就茱莉亚的播客和电影《星期二》进行提问和讨论，并探讨了她对喜剧、衰老和政治参与的看法。
