    2025/10/14

    The Middle-aged Bodcast is back for Season 5! Raging Rich and T.A. Shelano kick off the new season with some summer reflections - from midlife fitness goals and healthy cooking wins to slow-cooker favourites, travel ideas, and holiday hotel entertainment.


    We compare weigh-ins, talk mental health progress, and share how podcasting has genuinely changed our habits: from DDP Yoga to slow-cooker Sundays. T.A. also reveals he's booked a no-fly rail adventure from Birmingham to Krakow inspired by our Season 4 chat with Atomic Kitten's Liz McClarnon!


    Expect laughs, nostalgia, and honest midlife chat as we head into another season of relatable stories and good-natured chaos.

  • Repost: Isn't it Ironic... Don't you think?
    2025/09/23

    We're going back into our Season 2 archives with another reposted episode. This time we look back at T.A. Shelano's conversation with a colleague who doesn't know who Alanis Morissette is!


    Original Episode Description

    In this lively episode of The Middle-aged Bodcast, T.A. Shelano is thrilled to share his excitement about seeing the legendary Peter Kay live on stage for the first time. The conversation takes a humorous twist when T.A. recalls a colleague who only knows Canadian pop through Justin Bieber, prompting Raging Rich to rattle off an impressive list of Canadian musical legends. The hosts then dive into the holiday spirit, comparing UK and US traditions as they chat about the festive lead-up to Christmas and the unmistakably British celebration of Bonfire Night.

  • Bonus Bodcast: Escape from Batechu Island
    2025/09/02

    In this special bonus episode of The Middle-aged Bodcast, Rich chats with co-host and author T.A. Shelano about his upcoming second novel, Escape from Batechu Island.


    Described as The Hunger Games meets Castaway, the story follows a group of teens trapped in a deadly conspiracy, fighting both powerful enemies and each other in a high-stakes struggle for survival. T.A. explains how the book connects to his debut (The Doctor's Hidden Patients), how it unexpectedly became part of a trilogy, and why you can still enjoy it as a standalone read.


    We also dive into the 100-day writing challenge that pushed the novel forward, the lessons T.A. has learned since releasing his first book, and how events like the Jericho Writers Festival have helped shape his growth as an author.


    Whether you're a budding writer or just curious about the creative process, this bonus episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at writing, resilience, and building new worlds.
