• Capes, Loafers, and Vinted Fails

  This week on 40ish it’s midlife shopping gone wrong. Lauren suffers a Vinted fail while Nicole debates whether she’s officially lost the plot after lusting over a Supergirl-style caped top. The great loafer debate of 2024 has returned from the dead. Lauren’s bought a pair, and Nicole is strictly forbidden to comment (good luck with that). Meanwhile, a listener writes in full of Halloween regret: her Morticia Addams costume was a hit… until she realised she was the only one dressed up at the office Halloween party. Now she’s convinced she looked like a middle-aged tart — her words, not ours. It’s fashion faux pas, spooky shame, and a caped crusade through the chaos of midlife. We love to hear from you!

• Pumpkins, Paranormal Activity & Panic Buys

  This week on 40ish: It’s Halloween, and things are getting spooky. We can’t decide what’s scarier: Lauren’s truly terrifying childhood tale, or Nicole juggling three different costumes for her daughter’s Halloween events. A listener wants to know do you believe in the paranormal? She’s got some seriously creepy goings-on in her new home. Meanwhile, two other women are in full seasonal meltdown: when did pumpkin carving become an elite sport, and why do kids’ costumes cost more than actual adult clothes? (Witch, please, we are too tired for this shit)  It’s ghosts, glitter, and gory amounts of prep - welcome to Halloween, midlife edition. We love to hear from you!

• Awkward Invites, Admin & The Green Bin

  Today on 40ish: The ladies are feeling truly middle aged. Nicole’s eyesight has decided to take early retirement, while Lauren laments the sheer amount of time it now takes just to look presentable -never mind actually nice. A listener wants to know: what do you do when you’re invited to the hen night but not the wedding? (Awkward doesn’t even begin to cover it.) Meanwhile, another listener is officially over adulthood being 99% admin and 1% fun. We’re talking endless logins, two-factor authentication, portals for everything (and don’t even mention the green bin sticker)  It’s a midlife meltdown… with reading glasses.

• Secrets, Spreadsheets and Storming Out

  Today on 40ish: Nicole’s got a new padel partner;  there’s a shared spreadsheet involved and Lauren’s not thrilled. Meanwhile, the listener inbox delivers peak drama: one listener’s torn between exposing a friend’s secret affair and staying loyal, while another has a full-blown meltdown at her own birthday party. It’s sports, secrets, and seriously messy situations. We love to hear from you!

• Les Mis, plastic bag hoarding & subscription hell

  Today on 40ish: Lauren and Nicole debate if there is anything worse than being asked to share a “fun fact” about yourself. In happier news, they’re dusting off their theatre binoculars and declaring their undying love for Les Misérables as they gear up for the 40th anniversary show; while still vividly remembering seeing it when it was new. (Yes, we’ve officially become the “we saw it first” generation.) Meanwhile, one listener wonders if her bags in bags in bags situation counts as hoarding (spoiler: yes, but it’s a shared affliction), and another finds herself in full-blown subscription hell trying but failing to locate her favourite show. It’s giving midlife. It’s giving relatable. It’s giving… empty chairs at empty tables. We love to hear from you!
