40ish

• Slippers, Buddymoons & Graham Norton

  Welcome back to the brand-new season of 40ish! On today’s show, Lauren is on a mission to figure out: where exactly are we with slippers? Are they chic? Are they tragic? Meanwhile, Nicole is determined to keep those gym endorphins flowing; even if it means hobbling around the studio like a gladiator who lost to a foam roller. We’ve also got a bride-to-be who wants to know if a “Buddymoon” is a red flag or just group fun 2nd time around. And, because life isn’t fair, Graham Norton has started a podcast that sounds suspiciously familiar to ours… and the worst part? He’s obviously really good at it. So, buckle your slippers (or sneakers), because we’re back, we’re caffeinated, and we’re diving right in!

• Avocados , Gut Health and The Big Wash

  This week on 40ish Lauren confesses her deep (possibly unhealthy) love for The Big Wash, while Nicole revels in the rare and glorious joy of 11 child-free days at home. Meanwhile the listeners are chiming in with their weekly woes:One wonders how to avoid feeling invisible in middle age. Another has somehow pulled a muscle in her actual armpit, whilst Nicole discovers the answer to everything - just eat an avocado. Whatever midlife mayhem is occurring for you, you’re not alone.

• Viagra, Pillow Menus and It’s Called ‘Fashion’

  Welcome back to the brand new season of 40ish!  This week Lauren has bought a functional rubber mac and is feeling super smug whilst Nicole is struggling to see as middle age has trashed her eyesight. One woman goes the full Martin Lewis calculating the ‘cost per shag’ now her husband is taking Viagra and wonders if the money could be better spent. And in a tale of midlife bravery gone hilariously wrong, a warrior takes on a rude young shop assistant… only for karma to deliver the ultimate backfire. Midlife is messy, funny, and, let’s face it, expensive. Come laugh about it with us. Because otherwise you’d cry.  This episode is sponsored by London Nootropics Get 20% off at LondonNootropics.com with the code 40ISH To book tickets for our live show in October click here: https://cheerfulearful.podlifeevents.com/festival/40ish---live-from-cheerful-earful-podcast-festival-16-oct-2025-tickets?clientside_routing=true We love to hear from you!

• Unfiltered - Lamination, Arseholes and the roadside poo

  Today on Unfiltered Charlize Theron is bragging about her one night stand with a 26yr old. Would you? Could you be bothered? Lauren laments about lamination and Nicole’s still reeling from a 7:30am convo involving... arseholes. Yes, actual ones. One woman’s Spanish getaway takes a very public turn when her friend faces a roadside toilet emergency—with no loo in sight and a car full of horrified (and hysterical) mates. Think Top Gear meets perimenopause panic. Unforgettable, unfiltered, and just a little bit traumatic.
