Specifically for Seniors is for those of us who have reached an age where we have time to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea together at a coffee klatch in cyberspace. We are a group of mature adults who are interesting and interested. We are connected and active. And at Specifically for Seniors we talk about anything and everything that is of interest to us. So sit back, relax - grab a cup of whatever you like and spend a half-hour or so listening to the guests on our podcast talking about subjects that concern, delight, inform or just make us laugh.

The Three Ladies
This is the story of three remarkable women - a 79 year old champion weight lifter and body builder, an 88 year old holder of the Guinness Book of World Records for the oldest working female comedian and a 103 year old blue ribbon prize winnng baker. Each woman has a different story to tell but each will serve as an inspiration and will share their secrets for a long, health and active life. So sit back, relax, and get ready to be inspired by the wisdom and resilience of these incredible women.
We promise you will have some laughs and come away with a new prespective of what being older than 75 really means. Despite their ages, these women continue to challenge stereotypes about age, break multiple ageism tropes, and prove that it's never too late to pursue one's passions, achieve one's dreams and live life to the fullest.
