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.

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.
