  • Unfiltered - Lamination, Arseholes and the roadside poo

    Unfiltered - Lamination, Arseholes and the roadside poo
    2025/08/05
    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.

  • Sex, Storage Bags & The Meddling MIL

    Sex, Storage Bags & The Meddling MIL
    2025/07/31
    This week on 40ish: Lauren’s found joy in vacuum storage bags (yes, really), while Nicole’s ready to stage an intervention over Lauren’s hyper-efficient email deletion habits. Meanwhile, one listener is deeply regretting her choice of holiday companions after a villa-sharing couple won’t stop having very vocal sex in the paper thin walls of their Spanish holiday home. One mum is trapped in a Cornish nightmare where her mother-in-law seems to think she gave birth to the kids - and isn't afraid to parent like it. It’s overbearing, oversharing, and a solid reminder to never share a villa unless earplugs are involved.

  • Unfiltered - Babybels in the bra and Bendover Tuesdays

    Unfiltered - Babybels in the bra and Bendover Tuesdays
    2025/07/29
    Today on Unfiltered; Nicole is asked if she can really trust Lauren and has us all asking: What exactly are “Bendover Tuesdays?” Lauren is close to meltdown as she attempts to tackle paperwork at midnight. One woman cannot keep up with the ravenous appetites of her children who are ransacking the cupboards during the school holidays and the ladies report on a recent study showing that midlifers are really stepping it up in the bedroom - well, they try to, but they are interrupted by a teenager who really doesn't want to walk the dog. It’s parenting, paperwork, perimenopause... and a Babybel down your bra. Just another Tuesday. Enjoy!

  • Blood Tests, Sexy Exes and Husbands Hiding in the Loo

    Blood Tests, Sexy Exes and Husbands Hiding in the Loo
    2025/07/24
    This week on 40ish, Lauren and Nicole ponder how many more blood tests they can possibly endure before qualifying as human pin cushions (answer: It’s a lot welcome to midlife!). Meanwhile, a listener takes umbrage at her husband’s suspiciously long (and very conveniently timed) bathroom breaks. Meanwhile, a woman debates whether to rekindle things with an old flame who slid into her DMs like it’s 2005. Should she message back… or just block and bless? Tune in for all the midlife drama, unsolicited advice, and trademark oversharing.

  • Unfiltered - Hollywood Handshakes, Rashes and Public Humiliation

    Unfiltered - Hollywood Handshakes, Rashes and Public Humiliation
    2025/07/22
    Today on Unfiltered: Paul Hollywood confesses to being in a permanent midlife crisis, and honestly bitch? Same. Lauren admits she'd kill for a Hollywood handshake, while Nicole wants nothing to do with his French stick (make of that what you will). A listener shares a traumatic tale of being exposed on the loo in a public café thanks to her daughter and an ill-timed door swing. The week’s Midlife Meltdown Award has a strong contender: a woman who accidentally sent a photo of her rash to the entire family group chat. Spoiler: It’s not fungal, Margaret. Classic Unfiltered chaos—oversharing, public humiliation, and just enough rash chat to make you check your privacy settings.

  • Nip Slips Bowel Pics and Jacket Potatoes

    Nip Slips Bowel Pics and Jacket Potatoes
    2025/07/17
    This week on 40ish, things get a little… exposed. Literally. A listener shares a pool party nip slip in Ibiza that was witnessed by her ex, a teenager with a phone, and an 81-year-old with very good eyesight. Meanwhile, Nicole is wrestling with her Glastonbury FOMO (or is it actually JOMO?), and Lauren can only recall one thing from her own Glasto days - a jacket potato she ate in 1997. Iconic. A listener wants to know the rules on family WhatsApp groups after a dilemma that involves a colonoscopy and a very public family overshare (why, Dad… just, why?) It’s classic 40ish mayhem: inappropriate stories, unexpected life lessons, and enough second-hand embarrassment to make you grateful you stayed home.

    Unfiltered - Padel Rackets, The Golden Girls and Getting Jiggy With It.
    2025/07/15
    On today’s unfiltered: Nicole is devastated to discover she’s been sold a “special needs” padel racket. Could it be that she’s not the epic padel demon of her dreams on court? Meanwhile, Lauren’s hanging with her spiritual friends The Golden Girls. Why can we remember every lyric from 1998 but not the one crucial thing we were supposed to do this morning? Her solution? Writing reminders directly on her arms. It's giving desperate. It's giving resourceful. It's giving ink-stained. Plus, a listener goes nuclear over an automated telephone system. You’ll want to press something, possibly your forehead against a wall. So please…Press 1 to listen to this show.Press 2 to spiral with us about memory, padel, and the robot lady who definitely doesn’t understand your voice command.
