    Picky Bits, Adulting & the Memorial Bench
    May 1 2025
    This week on 40ish, Lauren is installing a memorial bench (a bit pre-emptive for someone who is still living) whilst Nicole has a crash course in adulting when a youngster crashes into her car. A listener is fed up being used as a free Uber service by her colleagues and a prawn ring turns into a boxing ring when angry words are exchanged after a nice “picky bits in the garden” afternoon goes horribly wrong. Grab your carrot sticks and hummus and tune in for a serving of midlife meltdowns. We love to hear from you!

    Apr 29 2025
    This week on Unfiltered. Nicole spirals into an existential crisis in Costco when she convinces herself Lauren is about to dump her. Meanwhile Lauren is making a total fool out of herself during a business lunch in a moment so 40ish it could go in a text book. Plus, there is a post Easter meltdown (quite literally) when a chocolate egg hunt goes awry. Tune in for rants, questionable advice, and the usual midlife chaos! We would love to hear from you!

    Apr 24 2025
    This week on 40ish, Buckle up, buttercups as Nicole declares herself the 'best hostess in the universe”' while Lauren is preoccupied with rhubarb. Plus, we've got a listener who's seeing red after her daughter is subjected to an awkward encounter, and a mum who's bemoaning the decline of basic manners.

    Apr 22 2025
    This week on unfiltered hold onto your decorative cushions, folks! We've got a celebrity dropping (mildly paranoid) truth bombs about the great cushion debate, and let's just say, he’s not holding back. Meanwhile, Nicole fears her co-host may be on the turn after Lauren's sudden transformation into a bra-displaying, crazy dog-buggy lady during their walk. Plus, we're diving deep into the existential crisis of laundry that... just doesn't smell right. Tune in for chaos, cushions and the scent of regret. We would love to hear from you!

    Today on 40ish: Nicole is amazed when Lauren casually reveals she has been immortalised as a Snapchat meme (whatever that is…they’re still figuring it out, but apparently it's cool) Plus we tackle the big stuff as a listener has a huge midlife career decision to make and one woman asks the age -old question: is it ok to settle for the nice guy? Tune in for the laughs, leave with questionable life advice.

    Unfiltered - Calf strain, retail shame and where did I put that bike?
    Apr 15 2025
    This week on unfiltered, Nicole has sustained a middle aged accident whilst playing the most middle aged of sports. Lauren obtains short lived retail glory after obtaining the “it” pair of loafers at M&S only to realise that she hates them and a listener questions if she is in perimenopause after an accidental bike sale. (Spoiler alert, yes) We would love to hear from you!

    Unfiltered - Zebras, Unicorns and Phone Calls
    Apr 8 2025
    This week on the podcast, Nicole is grappling with a truly horrifying problem—people who call instead of texting like civilized humans. Meanwhile, Lauren is furious at her culinary failure - damn that air fryer. We’ve got plenty of listener feedback, and, in a plot twist we never saw coming, a listener needs help deciding if an adopted zebra is a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift. We have opinions. Tune in for rants, questionable advice, and the usual midlife chaos! We would love to hear from you!
