Tim and Giles, two later middled-aged types, share thoughts about winding down work, retirement, and what to do next…as well as other nonsense. After nearly 40 years of work, and being fortunate enough to finally close down the emails and log off the laptop, what are the options and opportunities for the next chapter? Having a plan is half the battle. Or is it? Hear the real-time thoughts of two men who are finding out what it means to finally call it a day at work, and face exactly that indefinable “thing” The podcast will probably explore lots of other rubbish. Hardly expert analysis, just some real, honest chat that gives a little insight to what goes through the mind of 50-somethings still trying to work it all out… To get in touch email the show at whatdowedonow2026@gmail.com or follow us at: https://x.com/whatdowedonow26 https://www.instagram.com/whatdowedonow26/

    5. Gigging

    Giles has been gigging at the Royal Albert Hall, where he made friends with a tall Dutchman. Tim discusses outdoor gigging. They both explore what gigging means to them past and present, and how it will definitely form part of the future. Listener discretion is advised for some awful puns.

    4. Golfing

    Tim has never played golf in his life. Joined by a dear friend and expert golfer, Rob, Giles and Tim explore the wonderful—and baffling—world of golf. They discuss trying to shift Tim from a hardened golf sceptic to golf-curious: how do you actually start, is it as maddeningly difficult as it looks, and why on earth should anyone take it up? They mostly stay on topic, though they ramble on as usual. Don't say we didn't warn you. Emails welcome whatdowedonow2026@gmail.com

    3. Volunteering

    Giles and Tim ramble through the idea of volunteering. Giles regales listeners with his football management prowess and explores the Wilmslow Scarecrow Festival, while Tim attempts to open Giles's mind to the wider world of volunteering. They also dive into lidos a little, before Giles eventually volunteers for something. We can only apologise to anyone who accidentally presses play.

    2. Pottering

    Tim and Giles discuss the art of Pottering. What does it mean, how is it done, and why hinges play such a vital role? Goodyear Advent calendars and ecclesiastical outfitters are also covered, alongside listener feedback and a few new content ideas. Listener discretion is advised, mostly due to incompetence.

    1. Shake Down Done

    Tim and Giles stumble around setting up the podcast, ignoring the advice they've found and having no idea what on earth they're going to discuss. They also chat about what hasn't been keeping them busy. If anyone is listening, apologies in advance. Recorded 8th October 2026
