  • Peter Andre, Doggy Dress Up and Fire Pit Flirtation

    Peter Andre, Doggy Dress Up and Fire Pit Flirtation
    2025/10/02
    Today on 40ish: Nicole is nostalgic for Peter Andre (yes, mysterious girl, waterfall etc) and has officially lost patience with people who think we need their full autobiography before getting to the lasagna recipe. Meanwhile, Lauren is incandescent with rage over a dog in a velour tracksuit. (No, really. A DOG. IN VELOUR. Let that sink in.) And if that weren’t enough midlife madness, our listeners are bringing the drama too: one woman is wondering if she should cancel a holiday after someone else’s husband got a little too flirty around the fire pit. Honestly—this is middle age, not Love Island, dude. Grow up! We love to hear from you!

  • Affairs, Armchairs & ATM Rage

    Affairs, Armchairs & ATM Rage
    2025/09/30
    Today on 40ish: Lauren has a full on rant about people who linger at cashpoints - what the f are they doing? Whilst Nicole is confused yet slightly aroused at her husband refilling the peppermill and putting the eggs away in the right place. (domestic foreplay is real, folks). Our listeners don’t hold back either: one is juggling an affair with a married man and an S&M fling with her gym buddy - we call that multitasking at its finest. Whilst another woman is left questioning her youth after realising her “favourite sofa spot” is basically a shrine to middle-aged comfort. Step away from the side table, Lindsay.

  • Earlybirds, Booby-ganoush & Bedroom boredom

    Earlybirds, Booby-ganoush & Bedroom boredom
    2025/09/25
    Today on 40ish: Nicole makes a shocking confession: she’s officially joined the early-bird dinner brigade (yes, she’s that person eating dinner at 6pm). Meanwhile, Lauren struts around a party… only to later realise she’s been working the room with food splattered across her boob. Our listeners bring their own gems too: one wonders if it’s borderline obsessive (or just practical) to do a full-on spring clean before family descends, and another shares the mortifying tale of a husband who nodded off halfway through… well, you know. Spoiler: it wasn’t Eastenders. It’s midlife chaos, awkward giggles, and reassurance that you’re never the only one. We love to hear from you!

  • From Grazia to Good Housekeeping & Contemplating Crocs

    From Grazia to Good Housekeeping & Contemplating Crocs
    2025/09/18
    This week on 40ish Nicole has serious concerns as Lauren contemplates if Crocs are a valid life choice. One woman is panicking after slagging off a fellow school mum on the wrong whatsapp group (the horror). And we’re asking the big midlife question: have we officially swapped Grazia for Good Housekeeping as our guilty-pleasure reading? It’s all the weighty questions that you never knew needed answering.

    Menodivorce, Menstrual Cups And Jon Hamm’s Bulge
    2025/09/16
    Today on 40ish: Menodivorce is on the rise (and honestly, we get it). One poor woman goes twelve rounds with a rogue menstrual cup at a dinner party she will never forget. Meanwhile, Lauren is on an intense quest to source the perfect salt pig (don’t ask, just nod), and as for Nicole? She’s utterly undone after a listener sends in a photo of her forever crush, Jon Hamm, in jeans so tight they should come with a health warning: viewer discretion warning! But for all you nosey parkers…https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/660410732849086089/ Midlife, as always, is equal parts chaos, cravings, and crushes - and we are here for it.

  • Slippers, Buddymoons & Graham Norton

    Slippers, Buddymoons & Graham Norton
    2025/09/11
    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!
