Our podcast, which released 94 episodes between 2018-2024, provided a deeper look into the professional and personal lives of various members of the OLLI at UNT community. These episodes are now archived in UNT's digital library as part of the OLLI at UNT Collection.
In each episode, host Susan Supak showcased her talent for bringing out interesting facts about OLLI members, as well as the instructors who teach OLLI courses. She also interviewed notable UNT alumni and retired faculty/staff.
Susan Supak was previously the host of the Library Out Loud podcast at the Albert Wisner Public
Library (AWPL) in Warwick, New York. Since retiring from a successful career in public
relations and relocating to Texas with her husband, she has become an enthusiastic
supporter of OLLI at UNT. When we asked why she chose to become a member, Susan told
us: "The numerous scientific studies that highlight the connection between lifelong
learning and community involvement with maintaining cognitive and mental health make
OLLI at UNT the most fun and exciting 'preventive medicine' we could ever want. It's
a dose of interesting classes, bright people, and fun activities!"
Susan also co-hosts the Authors Out Loud interview series with Dr. Jean Greenlaw, featuring in-depth discussions with acclaimed authors of all genres.
