Welcome to 40ish! Brought to you by the hosts of the award winning podcast Self care Club, Lauren Mishcon and Nicole Goodman -two 40ish women who went searching for a podcast that truly spoke to their age group - Where was the show that captured the sheer, hilarious chaos of midlife? The one that understood the juggling act of teens, aging parents, career pivots, and hormones that have a mind of their own? When they couldn’t find it, they made it. 40ish is the podcast that midlifers deserve. A space where they tackle real dilemmas, rant about the absurdities of aging, and share every embarrassing moment—because if they're living through it, they are damn well laughing at it. And honestly, at this stage of life, comedy isn’t just entertainment. It’s survival. Get ready for candid conversations and a lot of laughter as this funny duo explore middle aged angst and (attempt) to solve all your dilemmas. Follow us on Instagram @40ish.podcast

    Gossip, Gratitude and Sneakerinas

    Today on 40ish: It’s Lauren’s birthday and she’s apparently a fortune teller now. Nicole is feeling grateful for all her ‘get well soon’ gifts and lighting the candle whilst wearing crystals in her bra. We solve a listener dilemma involving overhearing two women casually tearing apart a friend at a party. Do you tell her? Confront them? Pretend you never heard it? Or carry the resentment like a weight around your neck? Plus: where are we with trainers? Specifically sneakerinas. Are they chic? Are they confusing? Are we too old to understand what’s happening to footwear? A listener meltdown finds a midlifer deeply distressed about Asda discontinuing her seeded loaf. Midlife: it’s petty, profound and occasionally 49p more expensive than it used to be.

    Mother’s Day, Midlife Algorithms and Cycle Synching With Your Dog

    This week on 40ish: Nicole returns to work post op, but now she’s officially menopausal and quietly wondering if she’s evolved beyond the podcast. Has she transcended? (short answer, no) Meanwhile Lauren absolutely has not evolved, as her cycle has somehow synced with her dog’s. Yes. The dog. There are hormones in the air and no one feels entirely stable about it. Plus both women mess about kissing celebrities (don’t worry, it’s ai) We tackle a listener dilemma involving a Mother-in-Law who has requested a private Mother’s Day audience exclusively with “the people I gave birth to.” No spouses. No extras. Just the original cast. Is it sentimental? territorial? A ticketed event? Whilst another woman asks if your algorithm is serving you up grouting videos does this make you dull?

    The Sexy Lady Lamp, Two Fridges & The Great Lactose Hack

    Today on 40ish: James is back! giving us a peek inside the internal world of the midlife male brain including a deep dive into his two-fridge conundrum — while Lauren admits she’s spectacularly hopeless at booking holidays. A listener is being tormented by her husband's (quite frankly revolting sounding) lamp and lactose-intolerant folks rejoice — a milky hack promises sweet relief. Expect laughs, relatable fails, and all the midlife messiness you didn’t know you needed. Get in touch!

    DJ Daddy, Dog Groomers and The Surprise Co-host

    This week on 40ish: James stands in for Nicole bringing a whole new male perspective on 40-something life. Lauren asks why is everyone on loudspeaker all the time and why is it always on the Tube? And James gives a thorough rundown of his supplement regime. (Thrilling). One listener shares her dilemma being married to a midlifer who has been reborn as DJ “Daddy” and listener Sarah delivers possibly the most 40ish moment of all: hiding her partner’s birthday cake so well she forgot to give it to him… only to rediscover it three weeks out of date. It’s 40ish - but with added testosterone. (We wish you a speedy recovery, Nicole)  Get in touch!

    Unfiltered - Lamination, Arseholes and the roadside poo

    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.

    Unfiltered - Hollywood Handshakes, Rashes and Public Humiliation

    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.

    Unfiltered - Baristas, George Clooney and The Bubonic Plague

    Today on Unfiltered we are serving hormones, humiliation, Hollywood heartthrobs, and 14th-century pandemics. Lauren has forgotten where she parked the car and Nicole is speechless after hearing someone under 23 declare themselves “Old!” A doctor gets ambushed by a surprise period while wearing a white dress (because thank you perimenopause) and the ladies ponder how they'd react if George Clooney handed them a cappuccino (spoiler: they would have to check he had sweetener), and there's an unexpected history lesson on the bubonic plague.

    Unfiltered - Printers, Posing Nude and Psycho spritzing

    Today on unfiltered, Lauren flirts with the idea of posing nude for a painting in Paris  (but only if it’s giving “airbrushed Kate Winslet on the Titanic” vibes.) Nicole wonders what she could have achieved in life if she weren’t professionally chained to her kitchen like a countertop spritzing psycho. A listener nominates herself for the weekly  Midlife Meltdown Award after a printer breakdown nearly pushes her over the edge - and we ask the question: is a Live, Love, Laugh mug just a passive aggressive threat at this point?
