As a valued supporter of our fight to protect Social Security and Medicare, I urge you to check out the latest episodes of the National Committee’s “You Earned This” Podcast.

This free podcast is brought to you by the same people who are working day in and day out on Capitol Hill to preserve and strengthen your earned benefits: The National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare.

Each bite-sized episode features a special VIP guest covering an important topic affecting older Americans and their families and is hosted by Walter Gottlieb, the National Committee’s Director of Communications.

Catch up on our latest podcast episodes now:

• Jon “Bowzer” Bauman on Saving Social Security & Remembering Sha Na Na: Best known for his role on the TV show Sha Na Na, “Bowzer” has gone from Doo Wop revivalist to Social Security activist. He says, “We earned these benefits, and no one should be able to take them away.”

• Senator Harkin Pulls No Punches. Former U.S. Senator and one-time presidential candidate Tom Harkin says seniors and their advocates must go on OFFENSE to protect Social Security from Donald Trump & Elon Musk. Otherwise, he says, they will “terminate Social Security as we know it.”

• SSA Insider Slams Musk & Doge: “Mayhem is Their M.O.” In this exclusive on-the-record interview, former Social Security official Laura Haltzel speaks out against Trump/Musk/DOGE abuses at SSA from an insider's eyewitness view. She says that "Mayhem is the M.O." of the new Administration — and that employees and the public are being hurt
  

• Former New York Times Reporter & Author Ann Crittenden Cares About Caregivers. Ann Crittenden says it’s time to start valuing our country’s family caregivers — and stop punishing them financially for staying at home to provide care.
  

We know that you are busy, so our podcast episodes are no longer than 15-20 minutes each, making for a brisk and brief listening experience! We hope you download and listen to each free episode when you have the time.

P.S. Right now, the National Committee is waging a full-scale battle to protect Social Security and Medicare from billionaire Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Please support our urgent fight with a generous gift today which will be put to immediate work on your behalf to pressure lawmakers to stand up to Musk and DOGE and reject harmful cuts and radical “reforms” that could impact your earned benefits and the administration of those benefits.
