The Material Girls

"Knitted together” is more than a trite play on words when used to describe a group of mature women who meet weekly to make quilts and blankets and advanced projects. In a rural town in Upstate New York, seniors Norma Messer, Chloe Van Aiken, Pam Hassett, Pat Cunningham and Gail Benmosche are the “Material Girls” who weave deep friendships and transparently share the ups and downs of their lives. They have lots of laughs as well from “needling” each other, but levity is only part of their story. They are skilled and the treasures they create are lasting ones for everyone from newborns to newlyweds. Listen to them spin some yarn on The Age Sage.

About the Podcast

The Age Sage
with Robert J. LaCosta
Seniors to seniors…Whether Generation Z, Millennial, Boomer or beyond, the common denominators of every stage of life is explored as host Robert J. LaCosta interviews seniors about how they got to where they are and how they are continuing to crush-it in their mature years. LaCosta is known as THE Senior Editor because he has interviewed seniors for the past three decades and is perhaps the longest-running writer in this narrowest of niches. This podcast affords him the opportunity to pass along the same sagely wisdom that he has received from elders and has admired during his thirties, forties, fifties and now. LaCosta is a Board Certified Hearing Instrument Specialist who has helped over 10,000 seniors overcome hearing impairment. He draws deeply from the intimacy and privilege of those relationships.
