Older And Bolder Season 2 Episode 40: Blissful Baby Boomer with Margie Taylor

LISTEN HERE!

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 40 of Older & Bolder with Debbie McCulloch. We're joined by the multi-talented Margie Taylor, a name synonymous with creativity and eloquence. Margie, who has graced the airwaves for three decades as a radio host, newscaster, and producer, invites us into the rhythmic cadence of her life's journey, spanning the breadth of Canada and crossing the Atlantic in pursuit of her broadcasting dreams.

In an era when the voice of a woman reading the news was a fresh sound, Margie not only embraced this role but flourished, interviewing a myriad of guests and evolving alongside the dynamic landscape of radio journalism. Her career is a tapestry woven with vibrant threads of change, challenge, and charisma.

Beyond the microphone, Margie reveals a compelling draw towards the written word that she could no longer ignore. The transition from spoken to written stories led her to become a celebrated author. She shares the poignant tale of penning a novel rooted in the tragic death of a friend—a mystery from the seventies that beckoned her to explore and expose the truth decades later. This journey through fact and memory showcases her meticulous research and the emotional depth of revisiting a somber past.

Margie opens up about the personal peaks and valleys that have shaped her narrative—from the profound impact of her mother's battle with multiple sclerosis and early demise, to her vibrant stints in theatre, and her impactful role in education, teaching English to new Canadians. Her story is one of humour, wisdom, and profound insight, particularly into life's later decades.

Join us as Margie Taylor delves into her life of creativity, courage, and unwavering commitment, and offers a window into the soul of a woman who has lived boldly and inspired many.
