Every Tuesday before visiting Morrie, Mitch would stop to pick up some food from a local co-op his beloved professor loved. We hear Morrie's take on Mitch's weekly bounty, and Mitch's advice on mak...

On today's episode of the Tuesday People Podcast, host Mitch Albom talks about time. The time we have, the time that has passed, and what we do with the (finite) time we are given in this life.

What followed was an accidental discovery that may shed light on what really happens after we die. On today's show, host Mitch Albom is joined by Dr. Ajmal Zemmar from the Uni...

For centuries, humans have chased after the Fountain of Youth. How to look younger, act younger, feel younger. But when we shine a spotlight on the young, we ignore the important wisdom of those who have lived long enough to acquire dec...

In August of 1995, Mitch Albom approached his literary agent about an idea he had for a book. Mitch's agent asked him to put his thoughts down in the form of a letter to the agent, and he would, in turn, share the letter with publishers who might be interested in the story. While going through notes recently, Mitch ran across that letter. A letter he hadn't seen for nearly 30 years. And until today, that letter has never been read or shared with anyone other than the publishers upon whose desks ...

Society and the media love to stir the pot and make us believe we're living in an "us against them" world. There is "our side" and "our enemies' side," and no middle ground in between.

On today's Tuesday People podcast, host Mitch Albom discusses how love, understanding of others, and finding common ground can go a long way toward bringing us together, rather than pushing ...
