My Dinner With Menopause

8 women at dinner talk about their fears and realities concerning menopause. One has "graduated," the rest pre-menopausal. As stories and questions emerge, "guests" come to the table: a sex therapist, an alternative medicine practitioner, and the producers mother among them. The program concludes with the "Menopause Rag" on piano. Originally broadcast on Soundprint, "My Dinner With Menopause" was the recipient of the CPB Gold Award for Documentary and is the producer's most requested program. Producer Karen Michel values learning about life processes and sharing the discoveries and is especially glad to have interviewed her mother for advice on getting older, as she is no longer in the land of the living. Ellen Michel's essential advice, near the end of "My Dinner With Menopause": never give up sex.
