2023 is the 4th Season of The Boomer Woman’s Podcast, formerly the Two Boomer Women Podcast. The theme for 2024 is ”That was then. This now. Create your own next chapter.” Each episode is a conversation between me – I’m Agnes Knowles, your host – and a guest who talks to a subject that, someway, somehow, is relatable to Boomer Women. The guests can be any age, any gender, as long as their message is positive, informative, pertinent to our demographic. You, dear listener, might need to be open-minded, curious, tolerant, inclusive… and if you are, you will enjoy these conversations, maybe learn something, and I encourage you to share each and any episode!
