Podcasts For Those in the 2nd Half of Life
This is the 2nd in a series of podcasts and, specifically, podcasts for those in the 2nd half of life.
If you have not read Podcasts – Why Baby Boomers and Others Should Care, now is the time to give it a look.
In this article, I will give a sample of podcasts that specifically target the baby boomer market.
I originally wrote this blog post in September of 2016. All but one of the podcasts listed in the original post have pod faded, i.e. the producer is no longer publishing new episodes.
These podcasts address different segments of the baby boomer market: retirement, business ownership, boomer life changes, and boomer life experiences.
Let’s get started.

I have appeared on The Retirement Answer Man podcast three times, and it is one of my favorite podcasts. I have multiple clients who listen to this podcast religiously.

Second Act Stories with Andy Levine
Description from iTunes:
Welcome to Second Act Stories, a podcast focused on life and career change. In each episode, we bring you the story of a courageous individual who has made a decisive career pivot and is pursuing a more rewarding life in a second act. The stories are in their own words and the words of friends and family that helped them find a new path. Each episode examines the “before” and “after” phases of a life or career relaunch and offers lessons learned.
I am a big fan of Andy’s podcast. We have collaborated on one episode and I have gotten multiple ideas for episodes from Andy.
The Not Old – Better Show with Paul Vogelzang
Description from iTunes:
The Not Old – Better Show is a radio show that is broadcast over the Internet using podcast technology discussing the hottest issues and topics that fascinate and inform those 50+ age Americans and are of interest and concern to boomers.
Not Old – Better viewers and listeners can “tune in” whenever they want, giving them the freedom to enjoy the show in the gym, in the car, at home or at work.
A SHOW FOR THOSE 50+, BY THOSE 50+, Talk About Better®
Paul and I are big fans of one another. Paul as a podcaster has hit it out of the park (sports metaphor) and I had him tell his story on the Repurpose Your Career podcast.
Experience 50 Podcast for Midlife with Mary Rogers
Description from iTunes:
Men and women in midlife are drawn to Mary Rogers’ honest take on the experiences of the empty nest, aging parents, spending an inheritance, dating and sex, travel, downsizing things, trashing bad habits and figuring out who you want to be now that you really are all almost grow up.
The podcast is always smart, usually funny, and occasionally painfully real in speaking to the cusp of GenX and Baby Boomers.
I am currently in discussions on getting scheduled for an appearance on this podcast.
Repurpose Your Career Podcast with Marc Miller
Description from iTunes:

Any list of baby boomer podcasts has to include my podcast.
