40ish40ishBlood Tests, Sexy Exes and Husbands Hiding in the LooThis week on 40ish, Lauren and Nicole ponder how many more blood tests they can possibly endure before qualifying as human pin cushions (answer: It’s a lot welcome to midlife!). Meanwhile, a listener takes umbrage at her husband’s suspiciously long (and very conveniently timed) bathroom breaks. Meanwhile, a woman debates whether to rekindle things with an old flame who slid into her DMs like it’s 2005. Should she message back… or just block and bless? Tune in for all the midlife drama, unsolicited advice, and trademark oversharing. To buy tickets for our live show in October...2025-07-2436 min40ish40ishUnfiltered - Hollywood Handshakes, Rashes and Public HumiliationToday on Unfiltered: Paul Hollywood confesses to being in a permanent midlife crisis, and honestly bitch? Same. Lauren admits she'd kill for a Hollywood handshake, while Nicole wants nothing to do with his French stick (make of that what you will). A listener shares a traumatic tale of being exposed on the loo in a public café thanks to her daughter and an ill-timed door swing. The week’s Midlife Meltdown Award has a strong contender: a woman who accidentally sent a photo of her rash to the entire family group chat. Spoiler: It’s not fungal, Margaret. Classic Unfil...2025-07-2241 min40ish40ishNip Slips Bowel Pics and Jacket PotatoesThis week on 40ish, things get a little… exposed. Literally. A listener shares a pool party nip slip in Ibiza that was witnessed by her ex, a teenager with a phone, and an 81-year-old with very good eyesight. Meanwhile, Nicole is wrestling with her Glastonbury FOMO (or is it actually JOMO?), and Lauren can only recall one thing from her own Glasto days - a jacket potato she ate in 1997. Iconic. A listener wants to know the rules on family WhatsApp groups after a dilemma that involves a colonoscopy and a very public family overshare (why, Dad… just, why?) It’s...2025-07-1735 min40ish40ishUnfiltered - Padel Rackets, The Golden Girls and Getting Jiggy With It.On today’s unfiltered: Nicole is devastated to discover she’s been sold a “special needs” padel racket. Could it be that she’s not the epic padel demon of her dreams on court? Meanwhile, Lauren’s hanging with her spiritual friends The Golden Girls. Why can we remember every lyric from 1998 but not the one crucial thing we were supposed to do this morning? Her solution? Writing reminders directly on her arms. It's giving desperate. It's giving resourceful. It's giving ink-stained. Plus, a listener goes nuclear over an automated telephone system. You’ll want to press something, possibly your forehead...2025-07-1536 min40ish40ishBBQ, Birdwatching and Bedroom AnticsThis week on 40ish: Lauren has a keen interest in birdspotting, because nothing screams midlife like getting excited about tits… the feathered kind. Meanwhile, Nicole is experiencing a full-blown sandal crisis—too strappy, too orthopedic, not enough ankle support, why is summer footwear so emotionally taxing? One listener is sweltering through a heatwave, but her husband’s libido is showing no signs of cooling down. She’s hot, bothered, and not in a good way. Cold flannel, anyone? And what exactly is a midlifer supposed to do when your young, trendy neighbours make BBQ their entire personality? Is there a polite...2025-07-1042 min40ish40ishUnfiltered- Dropped Pins, Disappointed friends and DesperationOn today's unfiltered: Nicole is in need of directions - literally and Lauren’s attempt to rescue her using a dropped pin goes just about as well as you’d expect. Spoiler: it makes everything worse, mostly because she is too busy being chatted up by a stranger to assist. Elsewhere, Lauren is in full-on meltdown mode after trying (and, let’s be honest, failing) to install an automated watering system—aka a classic Blue Job gone rogue. Plus, we’ve got a listener’s meltdown as she involves herself in Lauren’s puppy raising. (Brave). It's emotional, it’s relatable, and...2025-07-0839 min40ish40ishBotox, Bras and BunionsThis week on 40ish: Nicole fears that she has aged out of Botox. What is a woman to do if you can't afford the full Kris Jenner facelift? Meanwhile, Lauren is freeing the nipple for comfort, feminism and because it’s too damn hot.  Over in listener land, one of you has questions about feet (we’re cautiously intrigued), while another is dealing with a passive aggressive friend - and we all know the first rule of Passive Aggressive Club is... oh whatever, it doesn’t matter. It’s sweaty, saggy, and slightly unhinged; just the way we like it. 2025-07-0340 min40ish40ishUnfiltered - Baristas, George Clooney and The Bubonic PlagueToday on Unfiltered we are serving hormones, humiliation, Hollywood heartthrobs, and 14th-century pandemics. Lauren has forgotten where she parked the car and Nicole is speechless after hearing someone under 23 declare themselves “Old!” A doctor gets ambushed by a surprise period while wearing a white dress (because thank you perimenopause) and the ladies ponder how they'd react if George Clooney handed them a cappuccino (spoiler: they would have to check he had sweetener), and there's an unexpected history lesson on the bubonic plague.

Will she find the perfect two-piece, or is it time to just set the girls free and go full Euro-topless? Meanwhile, Lauren is locked in mortal combat with a new TV setup, and frankly, the HDMI cable might win. A listener wonders: is it weird to take your own pillow on holiday?  And another writes in about a full-grown mummy’s boy. We say: Oedipus, schmeedipus — as long as he’s not still breastfeeding, it’s fine. Join us for questionable wisdom, topless beach strategies, and midlife dilemmas we mostly ma...2025-06-2640 min40ish40ishUnfiltered - Jeans, Genes, and Generational dreadToday on Unfiltered: Nicole’s midlife meltdown is simply this: teens. Full stop.  Lauren’s in a crisis over a swimsuit return - but the real issue? She’s turning into her mother. (Love you, Jackie). A listener is lost in a denim dilemma and meanwhile, ex supermodel Linda Evangelista tells an interviewer that she won’t date as she doesn’t want to hear anyone breathing, and honestly?

Nicole’s makeup has mysteriously vanished, and she needs to cover her newly grey eyebrows. Meanwhile, one listener is fed up being lied to by her friend about being on Ozempic (We all know green tea does not make you lose two stone!) and another woman is in a Tupperware stand-off with her mother-in-law. She knows it’s petty - but she wants it back. It’s midlife dilemmas, pet peeves and the usual business.  To buy tickets for our l...2025-06-1937 min40ish40ishUnfiltered - Printers, Posing Nude and Psycho spritzingToday on unfiltered, Lauren flirts with the idea of posing nude for a painting in Paris  (but only if it’s giving “airbrushed Kate Winslet on the Titanic” vibes.) Nicole wonders what she could have achieved in life if she weren’t professionally chained to her kitchen like a countertop spritzing psycho. A listener nominates herself for the weekly  Midlife Meltdown Award after a printer breakdown nearly pushes her over the edge - and we ask the question: is a Live, Love, Laugh mug just a passive aggressive threat at this point?

Nicole is feeling super smug after securing a parking space right next to the venue and proving her wrong.

Meanwhile, Lauren sustains the most 40ish injury possible: she hurts her neck... in her sleep. A listener asks whether dating a man on two wheels is a red flag or just midlife logistics, and a 48-year-old gym-goer is left mortified (and damp)  after an unfortunate incident in front of her trainer.
