In this episode, we start with a laugh about podcast hellos, stag dos we’ll never talk about, and even a fake product pitch (say hello to the Pilates Anally Retentive Probe – yes, really). But soon we dive into the real heart of the chat: retirement.

We question whether the word retirement even makes sense anymore. Is it about stopping work, or is it about finding freedom? From floristry classes and camper van dreams to parents clinging to old financial mindsets, we explore how midlife has shifted our view of money, work, and what comes next.

Expect honesty, humour, and a few big truths about pensions, planning, and why most of us just want the freedom to choose what we do next.

Listen if you want a laugh and a comforting reminder that friendships don’t have to be perfect — they just have to be real.

Katy and Katie catch up sober, candid and very midlife. They explore how friendships evolve — from schoolmates to parenting phases — why some last and others drift, the effort (and mercy) required, and the small rituals that keep people connected. Warm, funny and honest — perfect for anyone who’s kept a friend through life’s messiness.

Listen if you want a laugh and a comforting reminder that friendships don’t have to be perfect — they just have to be real.

Katy’s “49th” birthday bash leads to sore heads, questionable drinking logic, and a debate on whether you can actually die from a hangover. Expect memories of jungle juice and teenage Magaluf holidays - and why our parents might be to blame for it all.
