Podcast With True Substance!

As an avid listener what I enjoy about this podcast is how it’s engineered for all age ranges. As a younger listener I find the podcast not only enriching but enjoyable to share with those I hold dear in their older age. Paul Vogelzang offers truly kind and exhilarating content that reminds me of stories of President Roosevelt fireside chats. I highly encourage giving a listen! The most exciting episodes I’ve noticed have been ones with the Smithsonian Associates! Check out the “Spies” piece which was really cool to listen to after my first spy museum visit! You won’t regret it!

Daniel S. Oleson

“This is the first show I’ve listened to about the 50+ age, boomers… The show talks about top issues boomers face, like employment, careers after 50 years old and other great topics.”

Mr. Clever

“With so many podcasts for 20-somethings, it’s nice to find one for people who are 50+. If you’re looking to create a better life for yourself, you will really love this. Great host and great info. Paul is a very personable host that is a pleasure to listen to”
