Boomers Revolt

Hosted by Cheryl Becir ·

Hosted by Cheryl Becir — who launched the show at 69 after decades leading nonprofits — Boomers Revolt is about reinvention in the second half of life: refusing to age quietly and treating getting older as a plot twist rather than an ending. Each episode takes its cue from an iconic song to explore identity, relevance, visibility, and starting over on your own terms.
