このコンテンツについて

Two generations. One friendship. Endless things to learn from each other.


2Y2O is where two lives, thirty years apart, meet in conversation. One of us is
23, an actor at the start of adulthood, still chasing dreams and making mistakes. The other is 53, an osteopath who pivoted her career after leaving the security of banking behind.
Together, we explore the questions, choices, and changes that shape us - from love and careers to health, money, and identity. Our friendship proves that wisdom and curiosity flow both ways. If you’ve ever wondered how life looks from the other side of the age, culture & sometimes class gap too, this podcast is for you.

  • 02 - Pre-Drinks vs Night Bus: Going Out Then and Now
    2025/10/30

    Two women, two decades apart, two completely different Friday nights.

    😅 In this episode, Annie (23, drama-school grad, proud non-clubber) spends the evening watching the Downton Abbey film with her parents and a cinema full of delighted OAPs, while Anji (53, osteopath, ex-banker, secret raver) is out at Annie Mac’s “Before Midnight” - dancing hard and still home by 10.30pm.

    From 90s nights out with no mobiles, night buses and hoping a random minicab was legit, to today’s WhatsApp group-chat pre-drinks, Uber safety features and drink-spiking worries, they compare what’s easier now, what’s scarier, and what never changes: going out is really about connection.

    In this episode:

    • pre-drinks vs “we just met you at the pub”
    • how on earth people arranged dates before phones
    • getting home in London: then and now
    • why spiking has changed the vibe for Gen Z
    • dancing in your 50s (and loving it)
    • why it’s fine to be 23 and prefer a cosy pub to a club

    🎧 Too Young For This, Too Old For That — friendship across generations, with plenty of eye-rolling at each other’s references.

  • 01 - From Banking to Backbones: Choosing Passion over a “Proper Job”
    2025/10/30

    Annie (23, actor, just out of drama school) and Anji (53, osteopath and ex-banker) get honest about one of the messiest adult questions: do you pick the secure, sensible path… or the thing that actually lights you up?

    They swap origin stories - Annie ditching the uni conveyor belt to audition for drama school while all her friends headed to Exeter and Durham, and Anji leaving a well-paid, high-status banking career to retrain in her late 30s - and compare what it really feels like to work in an uncertain industry (acting) vs to walk away from a very certain one (banking).

    In this episode:

    • what it was like to graduate straight into touring Jane Eyre in China
    • why Anji’s 1994 Barclays grad scheme felt like “a job for life”
    • side hustles that actually feed your creative work
    • parents, privilege and permission to take a risk
    • passion vs security (and why you might be able to have both)
    • “do your best, forget the rest” - their shared motto

    Perfect listen if you’re 23 and panicking you don’t have it all sorted, or 53 and wondering if you’re “too old” to start again. (Spoiler: you’re not.)
