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.

Something a little different today as Agnes shares and discusses a recent conversation (but one of several) she had with Judith over how the Canadian government is failing its seniors. For now they're calling it Grey Ruckus! It might be a movement you want to join!
Some of the numbers Judith shared from her island home:
removing a tooth: ~$50
remove a carcinoma: ~ $375
cut/colour/blowdry (her hair): ~$25
mani/pedi: $17.50
freshest piña colada in the world: $12
Lovely large restaurant dinner: $17.50
