The Boomer Woman’s Podcast is a conversation-driven show for women who know that life doesn’t stop at midlife—it opens up.
Hosted by Agnes Knowles, the podcast is now in its 7th season and features engaging conversations with guests whose ideas, experiences, and insights are relevant to Boomer women navigating what comes next. Guests may be any age or gender, but their message is always thoughtful, positive, and genuinely useful.
These are not lectures or quick takes. They’re real conversations—curious, open-minded, inclusive, and sometimes unexpected. You might learn something new, rethink an old assumption, or simply feel less alone in the questions you’re asking.
If you’re willing to be curious, tolerant, and open to different perspectives, you’ll feel right at home here.

Growing up in the conservative Boston area, Madonna Hanna was usually only one of a handful of children of colour in her schools. She was bullied and discounted and her experiences both as a child and as an adult gave her both "thick skin" and a lot of resilience.
On numerous occasions, Madonna "took the high road" because to respond or react, would only sink her to the same level as her antagonists. She led by example both in the east coast fashion business and as a teacher on the west coast.
Most people would find that more than enough to define their life's work but Madonna added athlete, widowhood and acting to her repertoire.
Madonna shares all with deep thought combined with great wit and much humour.
