Raj Pander is a lot of Almosts. Almost a promising young woman (she got told she was too old for a job). Almost a wifey for lifey (she’s a divorcee - according to Indian Matchmaking/Sima Aunty that makes her “disadvantaged”). And she’s Almost 40 (and hasn’t got a clue).
Single. Living at home with her parents. Still watching TV shows made for teens. Still swearing on work calls. Still has an unhealthy obsession with pop culture. She’s getting older, but not necessarily wiser (s/o to Taylor Swift for relatable lyrics).
Raj is heading for a milestone birthday and has no interest in celebrating it. But she’ll talk about milestones on this podcast, not just the ones we associate with age, WE decide what a milestone is on this podcast. On each episode, Raj and her guests will get into 3 milestones from their lives and whatever else is on their mind.
Who said you’ve got to have your shit together by a certain age?

Almost A Swiftie
This is a Taylor Swift Eras Tour SPECIAL baby!
Raj is off to see TayTay in Liverpool so she's having conversations based on some of her favourite ERAS. We get into what everyone is still doing now, that they once thought they would be too old to do (we're all still feeling 22 and Red), how life would be different if we were men (shout out to The Man), our thoughts on Karma (Midnights is my favourite) and cutting off friends when there's bad blood (1989).
Annnnddd there's more dating horror stories... ft. Pilar Nalwimba, Poppy Jay, Rav (Panjabi Hit Squad), Sara Orritt, Sheetal Parmar

Almost Assessment: Nikkita Beghi (Two Chickpeas In A Podcast)
Podcaster Nikkita Beghi (Two Chickpeas In A Podcast) checks in with Nurse for her Almost Asessment (a fake doctors assessment where women are asked THE MOST ANNOYING questions they get on a regular basis). Nikkita gets into why she thinks brown men are the best kissers, her first date stories and that Sex And The City theory either known as the taxi cab theory or the bus theory (we aren't sure). Raj shares some dating horror stories from Tiktok (her algorithm is messy) and she's watching Love Island again...
If you have thoughts on brown men being the best kissers, Joey Essex being on Love Island or anything else from the episode, email almost40thepodcast@gmail.com

Almost Older & Wiser
Raj Pander is phuckin 40 and she's lost her voice. It turns out that even though she wanted to do nothing for her 40th, her friends had other plans...
Raj gets into the representation of women in their late 30s/early 40s in film as according to the internet, Anne Hathaway is "too hot" to play a 40 year old in The Idea Of You, even though she's 41. And apparently, being 40 means she shouldn't be wearing "shoulder bearing" dresses. Has anyone ever see Moonstruck? There 's some Met Gala tea. Raj tries to figure out why she didn't want to do anything for her 40th, so she's asked her friends how they plan to celebrate theirs and what they thought 40 would look like vs what it actually will look like...
Send over your hot takes on The Idea Of You, how you're celebrating your milestone birthdays and if the ending of Desperate Housewives make sense to you
