Sian Reeves: The Acid Yellow Dress - Caring for Dad, a Hairdresser Con, and Turning 60
21/05/2026 | 50 mins.
On this week's episode, we're joined by Sian Reeves — actor and host of the Who Cares? podcast.

Sian talks about caring for her poorly dad, what it costs (£4-7k a month), and the Loose Women appearance years ago she didn't make because she'd been conned out of eight grand by a hairdresser and was too ashamed to come on and say it. Plus the acid yellow mini dress she bought in France that she's still not sure she'll wear.

Sian's Who Cares? podcast is wherever you listen.

How To Be 60 is at the Edinburgh Fringe, 7-9 August, Gilded Balloon at the Museum: https://tickets.gildedballoon.co.uk/event/14:7161/

Midweek Catchup: Grief, Therapy and a David Tennant Selfie
19/05/2026 | 19 mins.
On this week's Midweek Catchup, Kaye Adams and Karen MacKenzie mark the death of Scott Hastings at 61, six months after he joined How To Be 60 to talk about losing his wife Jenny. Karen also opens up about starting counselling, and why "how are you?" is a question people only ask when they want the easy answer. Plus a David Tennant selfie, the great kitchen debate, and a teddy bear made from a mink coat.
Whether you're processing something big yourself, or just tired of saying you're fine when you're not, this one is for you.

Cally Beaton: Wrong Medication, Wrong Career, Wrong Country. Right Decade.
14/05/2026 | 54 mins.
Cally Beaton was a high-flying TV exec, a single mum of two, and quietly falling apart in her 40s. Then Joan Rivers looked her in the eye over dinner and told her to try stand-up. Two weeks later, Joan died. Two weeks after that, Cally walked on stage. Now she's touring, bestselling, and says her 50s have been the best decade yet. Plus: the perimenopause misdiagnosis that had her on the wrong medication for nine years.

Cally Beaton’s Sunday Times Top 10 bestselling book ‘Namaste Motherf*ckers' will be released in paperback on 21 May. Her nationwide tour of the same name continues with extended dates across the UK until the end of November. For more information and tickets, visit Cally Beaton’s official website

Midweek Catchup: A Year On, And It's Only Just Hitting
12/05/2026 | 25 mins.
On this week's Midweek Catchup, Karen marks a year since her breast cancer diagnosis and admits she's only just starting to feel it. Because no one tells you that you don't process it while you're in it.
Plus: Kaye's hearing aid has started whistling (her daughter keeps clocking it, much to Kaye's denial), Karen has befriended Amanda the pharmacist, and the great fringe debate returns.
Friday's guest: telly exec turned stand-up Cally Beaton, with her paperback Namaste, Motherf**kers out this week.

Plus, her debut cosy crime novel Shrink Solves Murder is out May 7th.
