Senior homelessness. Shared housing. Van camping. Told with the humor and dignity these stories actually deserve.
Each episode explores the unconventional ways older Americans are living, surviving, and finding community outside the system.
Seniors who traded mortgages for engines. Some by choice, some by necessity, all with stories worth hearing. The open road doesn't have an age limit.
The Golden Girls wasn't just a sitcom. It was a housing strategy. Co-living for seniors is back, messier and more real than ever.
The fastest-growing housing crisis nobody's talking about with the people actually living it. First-person stories, not policy papers.
"Getting old isn't for sissies. Neither is losing your house. But if you can't laugh about it, what can you do?"
Nomad Gnome treats its subjects like adults, not victims. Humor isn't disrespect. It's how people survive. We just give them a microphone.
There are serious podcasts about homelessness. There are funny podcasts about aging. Nobody is in the middle, where the real stories live. Nomad Gnome goes where the coverage doesn't: into the van, the shared kitchen, the shelter lobby, and finds what's funny, sad, and deeply human there.
Interview-driven episodes with seniors living these lives, not experts talking about them from offices.
Based in one of America's most visible homelessness epicenters. The stories are right outside the door.
Comedy doesn't minimize. It humanizes. If the guests are laughing, we're laughing with them.
Nomad Gnome is changing that. One van, one shared kitchen, one shelter lobby at a time. Coming soon from Portland, Oregon.
