Duplex Planet
''The Duplex Planet'' is a zine edited and published by David Greenberger since 1979. It contains transcriptions of his interviews with elderly residents of senior centers and "meal sites" in the Massachusetts area. For many years, the zine focused on the residents of the Duplex Nursing Home, located in Boston.

A series of personal commentaries drawn from Greenberger's experiences with this body of work has aired regularly on National Public Radio's " All Things Considered".
