  • Deep questions lead to deep answers - great food for thought!

    I really enjoy Jane’s podcast because it’s thought provoking and she brings on seasoned, sassy, and interesting guest.

    I really liked the episode with Clare Beckton because we are both a fierce stand for those who re in my language - Refiring not Retiring, and in her words, Rewiring not retiring!

    So much wisdom in these short conversations!

  • Listened to it twice

    I’ve enjoyed every guest and followed a few suggested podcasts. Today, “Is this the rest of my life?” I replayed and listened to the entire conversation twice. Loved and shared it. Looking forward to future guests.

  • Consummate Interviewer

    Just listened to “Rewirement, Not Retirement.” Jane is the consummate interviewer. Every question asked was exactly the one I wanted the answer to next. It was a beautiful, flow, well thought out and interesting.

  • Suggestion for Topic: The Ethels - AARP

    I recently heard Boomer Banter talk to two ladies about The Ethels, and I’d recommend The Ethels as a topic for your podcast, to help women connect and find new friends. I am a member of an Indianapolis chapter and it is a great way to meet like-minded women and new friends.
