About this listen

Welcome to the Podcast where two women living in Leeds who are in the peak time of life try and navigate it one laugh at a time! Chewing the fat, concluding that life is too short for being good and having serious conversations, so grab your comfy pants, a snack that deserves the name, and join us as we giggle our way through the chaos of menopause, being pissed off (BMP), the things we now find funny and the knobheads of life. Who knew adulting would involve so much confusion and so little applause? Cheers to laughter, good company, and the hope that one day we’ll figure out what ’adulting’ actually means!” 🎙️ Fortnightly episodes - Find us on Instagram

  • Episode 58 - Lane Rage: Pool Edition
    Apr 24 2026

    Dunn takes on swimming… and discovers it’s not just “get in and splash about”, oh no, there are rules. Actual lane etiquette. Who knew? Just as she finds her rhythm and perfects the polite overtake… someone jumps in and ruins the whole thing. Will she go back, or is this the end of Dunn vs the pool?

    We introduce some old WIDLs, including one word that’s both completely gross… and oddly useful if you ever fancy getting out of hospital early 👀

    BMP this week, curly hair. How many products does one head actually need? Bottles everywhere, routines longer than a Netflix series… or do you just leave it and hope for the best?

    Food chat turns serious, a pasty under the spotlight. Specifically… the ear. Why do we love it? Why do we hate it? And what actually is it?

    And on a slightly more serious note… Only Vans (with wind), please stop feeding the weird. You might think you’re helping… you’re probably part of the problem. Thom has thoughts. Strong ones.

    We’re also sharing some great podcasts, Instagram pages we’re loving right now, and taking a moment for Victoria Wood, 10 years on, still missed, still brilliant. ........And so much more.... eyes down, plug us in your ears

  • Episode 57 - When you've got mince to mash
    Apr 10 2026

    Do you share your takeaway, not full-on Smithy level, but Thom admits she’s not sharing her gyozas, while Dunn’s a bit more generous… or does it depend what you’ve ordered?

    Be honest now, did you share the kids’ Easter chocolate… or just “help them out” a little too much?

    We get into the world of Vinted, what on earth is acceptable packaging, and when does it just become just wrong?!

    Plus, what do you do when you’ve only got one loo in the house and your teenager’s in there with their phone like they’ve moved in permanently.

    We also play a round of Break A Take and share the little things people have done this week that made us question... life as we get older

    And Dr Dunn has discovered a spray to stop that “over 40s” smell… apparently it’s a thing, which is slightly concerning for both of us. No burping this episode - but there is mention of a Chode and a d'wang! Think girth

    Mar 27 2026

    We're back in shag manor and there is no podcast barker - all is quiet... well, there is a burp or two What do you like about a rummage? It’s an important question…

    We do try to include a “serious” segment in our episodes — it just doesn’t always stay serious for very long. We’re not here to make life miserable; we’re here to spark a bit of thought, without taking ourselves too seriously.

    We might not have a big platform, but we’re here to make you laugh, cringe, think, and most importantly, relate. So wherever you are, just keep listening.

    In this episode: 👉 Thom asks the all-important question… what’s the difference between dirty and kinky? (Brace yourself.) 👉 Dunn brings some interesting facts to the table 👉 And Thom introduces a new gadget that could change your chin forever

    Oh… and there’s an unexpected appearance from a bottle of Pepsi Max and a touch of acid reflux for good measure. and sohhhhh much more Strap in lads and ladies
