  • Ep. 35 - Pay Forever, Own Nothing
    2025/10/27

    In this episode, Adam and Keith hark back to the days when we bought music on cassettes and CDs, doorbells just chimed, and software came on a disc... usually in a nice box with a weighty manual.

    Now we lease or subscribe to everything: music, software, cars, and even bloody doorbells.

  • Ep. 34 - The Gym Gear Graveyard
    2025/10/10

    A burst of midlife humour as Adam and Keith explore the absurd world of exercise gadgets that promise six-packs but deliver buyer’s remorse.

    In this episode, Adam and Keith discuss ten exercise gadgets that promise beach body results but inevitably end up in the garage or on Facebook Marketplace. Unsurprisingly, they get a little ranty about the promised results of each product.

  • Ep. 33 - The Dodgy Diet Debate
    2025/09/27

    A slice of middle-aged comedy about the bizarre world of weight loss — where logic goes hungry and common sense starves to death.

    In this episode, Adam and Keith tackle weight loss and the ridiculous diets designed to hack our basic biology... badly. From tapeworm pills to cabbage soup, the chaps rage, rant, and despair at the lengths some people will go to in order to shed a few pounds.

  • Ep. 32 - The Bare Minimum Economy
    2025/08/31

    A dose of dry British humour about the disappearing art of simply doing your bloody job.

    From dishwasher installers who don’t install dishwashers to conveyancers who treat deadlines as vague suggestions, it feels like nobody actually does the job they’re paid for anymore.

    When did doing the bare minimum become standard practice?

  • Ep. 31 - The Great Nostalgia Lie
    2025/08/16

    A sprinkling of rage and middle-aged humour as Adam and Keith question whether our cherished memories of the past are genuine — or just the byproduct of selective amnesia.

    In this episode, Adam and Keith dismantle The Great Nostalgia Lie. From cassette-loaded video games to caravan holidays and the Argos catalogue, were the “good old days” really that good — or just a bit shit?

    2025/08/03

    A round of middle-aged banter as Adam and Keith unveil their tongue-in-cheek manifesto for a saner, sweary-but-sensible Britain.

    To mark the thirtieth episode, Keith and Adam are launching The Middle Raged Manifesto - their no-nonsense list of laws they'd pass if anyone were stupid enough to vote them into power.

    2025/07/20

    In this episode, Adam and Keith root around the back of the cupboard to unearth pointless or poorly thought-out gadgets. From the steam mop to the Sony Discman, there's an awful lot of rage-worthy tat to cover.

  • Ep. 28 - Opinions Are Like Ar*eholes...
    2025/07/07

    A wise man once said, “Opinions are like arseholes, in that everyone has one."

    In this episode, Adam and Keith give their opinion on... opinions. From the petty or plain-stupid one-star reviewers to co-workers who feel compelled to share their unsolicited, and usually unconstructive, thoughts.
