In this episode, the 50-plus lesbian duo return with peak London chaos energy. We kick things off at the crack of dawn — not through choice, but through life forcing us up before civilisation. From there, it’s a spiral into the economic horror story of modern football tickets, where the price of a single match could fund a small holiday.

Naturally, we take refuge in the pub… only to discover the pints are now priced like fine art. This leads us into a full rant about London cost-of-living delirium, commuter madness, and the ongoing criminal epidemic of people with suitcases on the Tube at rush hour.

It’s a classic Downtown Hangout episode: grumpy lesbians, overpriced booze, commuter trauma, and the kind of observational fury only women over 50 can deliver with this level of comedic precision.

This week on Downtown Hangout, we dive straight into the deep stuff — like whether it’s appropriate to wear Adidas to a lesbian wedding (spoiler: yes). Cath talks about the poem she wrote for said wedding — it's giving Jane Austen in Air Max. tell us if you want Cath to read it in the next episode.

We also time-travel back to 90s centre courts as Cath digs out her prized tennis autograph collection — Steffi, Boris, all the legends. Expect questionable fashion choices, heartfelt memories, and just the right amount of side-eye.

Topics include:

– Trainers at weddings: style crime or lesbian rite of passage?

– Old-school romance: Cath’s wedding poem reveal

– 90s tennis icons and retro fandom

– A sprinkle of nostalgia, comedy, and sporty gay chaos

In the latest episode of Downtown Hangout, two seasoned dykes shoot the breeze over chips, gravy, and the queer crisis of finding anywhere decent to go (for older woman). Cath gets into mudlarking on the Thames (spoiler: it’s less glamorous than it sounds), and we wonder—where exactly are the lesbian spaces once you hit midlife and don’t fancy TikTok or techno?

From council flat cuisine to unfiltered nostalgia, this is community radio vibes with no filter, no sponsors (YET!!) , and no apologies.

“We’ve aged out of nightlife and into numb knees—so we’re making our own scene.”
