Old Man Strength: EP 7.2 Erin Kiernan

Old Man Strength: EP 7.2 Erin Kiernan

In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Old Man Strength, we sit down with Erin Kiernan, longtime journalist and anchor at WHO-TV 13, to talk about far more than headlines and newscasts.

Erin takes us back to the very beginning — growing up, discovering her passion for journalism, and the path that led her to a career in television news. From her early days in the industry to becoming a trusted voice in Iowa homes, she reflects on the lessons, challenges, and growth along the way.

The conversation then turns deeply personal as Erin opens up about her son Michael’s autism diagnosis — the moment her world shifted, the learning curve that followed, and how it reshaped her perspective as both a mother and a professional. She shares the emotional reality of navigating parenting, advocacy, and public life all at once.

We also dive into Erin’s decision to step back this past summer, her venture into using social media as a platform for awareness and honesty, and how advocacy has become a central part of her purpose. Finally, Erin looks ahead to the future — what it holds for Michael, for her family, and for continuing the conversation around autism with empathy and understanding.

This episode is raw, honest, inspiring, and a reminder that true strength often shows up off-camera.
