The Peri-Pigs PigCast

Veronica and Penelope Pig

Welcome to The Peri-Pigs PigCast. The weekly home for women who have officially reached the "over it" stage of their 40's. Join best friends Veronica & Penelope as they navigate the messy, sweaty, and often hilarious reality of perimenopause, midlife meltdowns, and those days when the mirror feels like a personal enemy. Whether you are feeling like a "Silk Purse" or a "Sow's Ear" today, grab a drink, put on your most elasticated waistband and join the sty. It's loud, it's real, and it's definitely not hogwash.

    Mood Swings, Mad Dreams & Missing Lunches

    This week the Peri-Pigs are diving deep into the hormonal trenches. We get completely hones about the dark cloud of pre-period week, where mood swings leave you feeling like a "horrible, nasty, fat, ugly sweaty pig" riddled with guilt and questioning your entire life's purpose. Between battling insomnia and surviving bizarre, vivid dreams involving pet shops, Rylan Clark, and thieving dog sitters, the brain fog has officially taken over. We're talking about the tragedy of forgetting your prepared healthy breakfast, the horror of past travel blunders, and a very specific perimenopausal epiphany: the sudden onset of onion body odour. Plus, we celebrate the absolute resilience of women who can power through an intense hot flush during a corporate work meeting without missing a beat.

    Nip Slips, Slapping Thighs & Corfu Cocktails

    Nothing says "we’ve arrived" quite like the round of applause your thighs give when you sit down on a sunlounger. The Pigs are abroad! In this episode, we’re balancing the battle of holiday over-indulgence with some unexpected mid-life wins (and sags). Veronica is navigating bikinis that are suddenly too big, Penelope is dodging public indecency charges, and we’re both reflecting on career paths and life lessons after bonding with Sophia from the hotel animation team. Grab a cocktail, mind the rainstorms, and embrace the holiday headspace with us.

    Freeze the Frowns, Pass the Prosecco & Brace for Doggy

    It’s 48 hours until the Piggy Holiday, and the tension is as high as our waistbands! After the dogs caused a studio stir and sent a glass of Prosecco flying, they’ve been officially banished so we can finish the pre-trip prep in peace. Veronica shares her "Dog-Rage" from a 2:00 AM garden standoff and the bliss of a Botox-frozen forehead that’s finally killed off her tension headaches. Meanwhile, Penelope is navigating the sensory nightmare of her Hog-Husband’s bathroom DJ sets and the mystery of "Woofkin Woo," the draught excluder that never seems to stay in its place. We’re discussing the "sausage-skin" look of nude-coloured pants and the liberation of the "Piggy Era." The best part? The Hog-Husbands are coming with us! Hiccups, messy kitchen chairs, and all—the Peri-Pigs are officially going on tour!

  5. Laundry Rage, Social Batteries, and Bare Bottoms

    Laundry Rage, Social Batteries, and Bare Bottoms

    Sometimes the "Hog Husband" just doesn't get the hint—especially when it comes to the laundry pile. Penelope rants about the bedroom chair while Veronica navigates a holiday wardrobe crisis that’s a bit too "cheeky" for comfort. We’re discussing why we don't tolerate nonsense in friendships anymore, the desperate need for "me time," and those sudden pig-brain memory lapses that leave us staring into space. Join us for quizzes, shower-direction debates, and plenty of peri-honesty.

    This Litlle Piggy Went Autopilot

    From hospital hallways to the Butlins buffet (sort of), the Peripigs are finding the humour in the chaos. Veronica share a scary near miss on a pedestrian crossing and her dramatic near fainting episode during her dads treatment. Meanwhile, Penelope is living her best life with zero rage, a hiccuping husband in the spare room, and a low prep approach to the up coming holiday. It's an episode about finding the light when the world feels heavy.

    Gritted Teeth, Sweaty Feet & Swapping Seats

    The holiday countdown is officially ON, but the Peripigs are currently held together by sheer willpower and a prayer. This week, Veronica reveals the painful reality of "stress gritting" her teeth in her sleep, while Penelope is navigating the glamorous new symptom of...sweaty feet (Is any part of us safe?) We're discussing our festering husbands who refuse to change out of their pyjamas, and why Penelope's recent promotion at work is a major win for Piggy-kind everywhere. Plus, Veronica takes matters into her own hands with a DIY haircut, tune in to find out how it went!

    Naked Nights, Vinted Fights & Overwhelmed With Life

    Cover up Piggies! This week we're debating the "naked vs pyjamas" sleep battle (spoiler: We're firmly Team PJ). Veronica shares her Vinted induced spiral and we get deep on "The Invisible Silence" - Why didn't the older women in our lives warn us about this? Plus, we are tackling the guilt of "not doing enough" for our circle and why we've officially retired from meeting new people.
