    Feb 24 2026
    On this week’s Tuesday People, host Mitch Albom and producer Lisa Goich reflect on the final words of actor Eric Dane, who recently passed away following a brief illness with ALS. During a confidential taping of Famous Last Words in November 2025 with host Brad Falchuk—an interview he understood would be released only after his death—Dane left behind a message for those he loved. Inspired by his farewell, and echoing the wisdom Morrie has shared on this podcast, Mitch reminds us that when planning your estate, don’t forget to leave behind your words for those you love.

  • Episode 249 - "I'd Like to Thank God..."

    Episode 249 - "I'd Like to Thank God..."
    Feb 3 2026
    This week on the Tuesday People podcast, a familiar awards-season phrase sparks a deeper conversation. After attending the GRAMMYs®, Producer Lisa noticed how often winners stepped to the mic and began their speeches by thanking God—and it made her think, God is really busy tonight. Host Mitch Albom connects the moment to the Super Bowl and sports culture, where victory is so often framed as divine favor. But that raises a bigger question: what about the other team? In this thoughtful, gently provocative episode, Mitch and Lisa explore gratitude, faith, humility, and intention. Is it right to thank God when we win? Or is it more meaningful to give thanks for the opportunity, the effort, and to pray for the best outcome for everyone involved? It’s a conversation about belief, balance, and what gratitude really looks like—win or lose. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Episode 247 - Live Every Day As If It's Your First
    Jan 13 2026
    As we begin a new year, the Tuesday People podcast opens with a gentle but powerful reframe: what if, instead of living each day as if it were our last, we lived it as if it were our first? Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s reminder that change in the world begins with change in ourselves, host Mitch Albom invites listeners to step back into a sense of wonder—to notice, to appreciate, and to engage with life without the weight of fear or finality. Rather than focusing on what we might lose, this episode encourages us to rediscover what it means to arrive each day with curiosity, openness, and gratitude. It’s a hopeful, grounding conversation about beginnings, perspective, and the quiet power of choosing how we show up—one ordinary, extraordinary day at a time. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Episode 246 - From Presents to Presence: Making Peace With the Quiet Week After Christmas
    Dec 30 2025
    On this week’s Tuesday People podcast, Mitch Albom reflects on the quiet, often overlooked stretch of time between Christmas and New Year’s — that in-between week when routines pause and the world seems to exhale. While many of us don’t quite know what to do with the stillness, Mitch shares why this “forced vacation” can be one of the most meaningful moments of the year. It’s a chance to rest, read, reflect, and reconnect with ourselves without the usual distractions. Instead of rushing past it, Mitch encourages us to plan ahead next year and treat this week as a gift — a rare moment to slow down, take stock, and appreciate the space before life speeds up again.
