In this episode, Adam and Keith dismantle The Great Nostalgia Lie. From cassette-loaded video games to caravan holidays and the Argos catalogue, were the “good old days” really that good — or just a bit shit?

In this episode, Adam and Keith root around the back of the cupboard to unearth pointless or poorly thought-out gadgets. From the steam mop to the Sony Discman, there's an awful lot of rage-worthy tat to cover.

A wise man once said, “Opinions are like arseholes, in that everyone has one."

In this episode, Adam and Keith give their opinion on... opinions. From the petty or plain-stupid one-star reviewers to co-workers who feel compelled to share their unsolicited, and usually unconstructive, thoughts.

This week, Keith is reporting live from across the pond — making this the very first transatlantic episode of Middle Raged! 🇺🇸✈️🇬🇧🇮🇪

Join Adam and Keith as they dive into the quirks, chaos, and contradictions of American life, comparing it (grumpily, of course) with the UK and Ireland.

From monster-sized trucks and relentless air conditioning to the shocking cost of Marmite in the States, no topic is safe from the withering glare of the middle-aged, mildly furious duo.

Human societies have evolved over millennia, passing significant milestones such as the Classical Age, the Scientific Revolution, the Enlightenment, and the Industrial Age.

Alas, those centuries of progress have come to a screeching halt.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Age of Incompetence.

In this episode, Adam and Keith delve into the world of Help & Support - a misnomer if ever there was one. The chaps cover every frustrating element from waiting on hold to companies delegating support to their own customers via forums.
