Kicking the Bucket Listening Club (Hampton Branch)

MARCH 30 - MAY 18 | 6-7:30PM 8-WEEK SERIES

Hampton Branch - Austin Public Library

It's like a book club for your ears! Come and tune in together to listen to a dramedy fiction podcast and explore end-of-life decisions with humor and heart. Following the episode take part in a guided discussion with Kicking The Bucket creators.

Come to just one or two or all eight in the series! Each episode can stand alone without needing to have attended each week.

Kicking The Bucket is a dark comedy fiction podcast (like an old-fashioned ‘radio play’) that offers a fresh take on elder care, aging, and end-of-life autonomy through a story that tickles the funny bone and tugs at the heart. It is a bold, timely, and hilarious series that sparks conversations, challenges societal norms, and ultimately, redefines what it means to grow old on your own terms.

Join Dolores and Howard, our daring octogenarian duo with more spunk than spring chickens, as they plot their grand exit from life — on their own quirky terms. Alzheimer’s and cancer are their uninvited guests, but before their children can say "nursing home," Dolores and Howard are making a break for it, in ways that are as laughably imperfect as they are inspiring.

We'll return weekly for the 8-week series!
