How To Be 60 with Kaye Adams

• Suzanne Noble: Sex, Seniors & Scheduling It In (Yes, Really)

  On this week’s episode, we’re joined by Suzanne Noble, who isn’t just lifting the lid on sex after 60 — she’s throwing it across the room. From vaginal dryness to scheduling pleasure like a GP appointment, we talk about everything women whisper about but rarely say out loud.Whether you’re single, partnered, or negotiating with a Labrador in your bed, this one’s for anyone who's ever wondered if their libido went into early retirement. We cover why humour often hides embarrassment, how menopause reshapes desire, and what it really means to reclaim your pleasure on your own terms.Because no one tells you that sex in later life isn’t just about hormones — it’s about headspace, honesty, and maybe a little help from vaginal probiotics.Explore more from Suzanne on the Sex Advice for Seniors podcast or read her newsletter on Substack: substack.com/@suzannenobleGet in touch with your thoughts at [email protected].

• David Lloyd: From Radio Exec to Rebel Broadcaster in His Sixties

  David Lloyd was supposed to be winding down. Instead, at 60, he took a gamble — cashing in part of his pension to launch Boom Radio, a station unapologetically made for listeners over 55. In this episode of How to Be Sixty, David shares how he went from corporate radio heavyweight to co-creating a passion project that now reaches over a million listeners. He talks risk, reinvention, working with his partner 24/7, and why ageing doesn't mean fading into the background. It's a brilliant, warm, and unexpectedly funny look at life beyond “retirement.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
