The Seniors Booth

Talk to Us

Talk to us — we're listening.

THE SENIORS BOOTH — a comfortable, safe space to just sit and talk. And more importantly, to listen to one another.

Press Start recording and talk. No account. No password. You can listen back before you send it, and record it again if you like.

Your phone or computer will ask permission to use the microphone. Tap Allow — that is what lets us hear you.

You can still write to us instead:

Message Us on Facebook

This booth never asks for your phone number.

Let’s share our journey through the golden years together with other seniors.

The Senior's Citizen is a podcast by seniors, for seniors — real conversation, good news, and your stories. Step into the booth, sit down, and talk. The Operator is listening, and what you say here becomes the show.

Free, always. No sign-up. No password. Nothing to buy.

▶ The Film — Welcome to the Booth

Our host welcomes you in, in his own voice. The film is playing below — tap the brass button to hear it from the start, with sound. (Under three minutes.)

I Need Help

Tap here first if something is wrong. One tap reaches real help — emergency, crisis, and elder-abuse lines staffed by real people.

This booth is not an emergency service. If someone is in danger, call 911 now.

EMERGENCY — 911If you or someone near you is in danger right now. Tap, and your phone will dial. 9-8-8Canada Suicide & Crisis Line — call or text, day or night, if you are in crisis or not safe in your own head. 1-866-437-1940Seniors First BC (SAIL) — elder abuse or neglect, or if someone is taking advantage of you. Open 7 days a week.

Stay calm. You did the right thing coming here. Take your time, breathe, and make the call when you're ready.

If it's a scam happening right now: hang up, call the number on the back of your bank card yourself, and tell someone you trust. That's Fraud Watch rule number one.

Nobody here will ever ask you for money, banking details, or personal information. If anyone ever does, in any call or message, that is not us. Hang up.

Vancouver to Halifax · June 1 to September 1, 2027

From Vancouver to Halifax, we stop and talk to seniors along the way, where they live and have their being. Every stop is an event. Every person who comes out is a story to tell — a story to tell as part of our collective wisdom.

Talk to us — we're listening.

The announcement film — 47 seconds, with sound.

The Story So Far

The Shared Journey

We all started on the same street. The world changed its clothes, but lost its voice. The voices are still here — and here's a booth where they're kept, and heard, and never lost.

The Roots · The Victory Garden

His grandparents' grandparents, beside the garden that fed the street. A world that grew its own food and knew its own neighbours — the innocence, before it was lost.

Home Movies · The Sixties

It starts at home. A kid, a bike, a street where everybody knew your name. A family at the table. The way it started for all of us — and the music is already playing.

1955 — 1980 · An Ordinary Life

A young man, a car he kept running with his own two hands, and the radio playing the years going by. The girl beside him changes. The haircuts change. The music changes. He drives on.

1980 — Today · The World Got Loud

Careers rose. Money got tight, then tighter. We lost people. The world sped up into a mess none of us voted for — and somewhere in the noise, we started to drift.

The Destination

The journey ends at a phone booth from the past. Step inside, and close the door. First they listen — really listen. Then, only then, the applause. He's not drifting anymore.
