• CT: The Weekend Wales Tried to Deport Us
    Nov 26 2025

    In this episode we relive the most chaotic girls’ weekend of our twenties—what started as a simple trip to Abersoch turned into bunk-beds, angry mobs, Welsh shopkeepers refusing to look at us, a car crash (mid-vom!), a five-hour detour through 1850s Wales, an accidental night in a pretend rave, collapsing all over Katie’s flat, and finishing with a day out in Weston-Super-Nightmare. It’s the story our friends love, we barely remember, and absolutely no one in Wales wants us to tell again.

  • Ep 11: Because every girl needs a weekend away to remember… or forget!
    Nov 24 2025

    This week’s episode is pure girls-weekend chaos—Katie arrives freshly blow-dried with the wrong-initial mug, there’s ring-piece chat within seconds, and we spiral through driving hell, McDonald’s missions, kids’ hobbies, and the emotional rollercoaster of booking Australia flights. We cover the genuinely terrifying moment Katie injected the wrong insulin and had to chug Lucozade, piano-showcase carnage, Black Friday spam rage, our first ever fan mail, global listeners, and the slow descent into madness as we sip rosé and reminisce about falling out of taxis in our Patsy & Edina era.

  • CT: Running, Rugby & Midlife Madness
    Nov 19 2025

    This week, we dive into the highs, lows, and hilarious realities of midlife challenges. From extreme sports, triathlons, and marathons, to trying team sports for the first time, we explore what it really means to stay active — physically and mentally — as we get older. Along the way, we reflect on societal expectations for women “of a certain age,” share laughs about fun ways to keep moving. Expect candid chats, personal stories, and a healthy dose of humour — because midlife doesn’t mean slowing down!

  • Ep 10: Why Midlife Women (or women of a certain age!) Deserve a Medal This Week!
    Nov 17 2025

    In this week’s episode of Midlife? No Crisis!, we dive straight into midlife chaos: house parties where you know no one, pub-crawl quizzes in torrential rain, midlife tattoos (and tattoo artists who think they know best), old-school piercings, irritating colleagues, whistlers in the office, and the daily fight not to roll our eyes into another dimension.

    We also wobble emotionally over teenagers growing up, revisit our school-sport glory (or non-glory) days, debate whether we’re actually “sporty,” and relive the iconic High Energy rave-style workout classes of the 90s. Add in Christmas films sneaking onto the TV, a Bluetones gig, Pilates pain, and Sarah Cox’s midlife marathon going viral—and you’ve got the full mix.

    It’s honest, and takes a slightly more serious turn this week but it’s the kind of midlife chit-chat you’ll feel right at home with.

  • CT: Raving and misbehaving

    In this episode of Crisis Talks, Katy and Katie revisit the gigs that shaped their teens, the bands that still give them goosebumps, and the festivals that nearly finished them off. Expect stories of dodgy tents, chaotic weekends, and why music still matters more than ever in midlife — even if recovery now takes three business days.

    Nov 5 2025

    From middle-lane drivers and impolite motorists to premature Christmas decorations and competitive parenting, nothing escapes their midlife moan-fest. Joined by loyal listener Jenny’s hilarious voice notes, the pair share relatable gripes, menopausal musings, and plenty of eye-rolls over modern life’s everyday nonsense.

  • Ep 8: Is it wrong to hate umbrellas?
    Nov 3 2025

    In this week’s catch-up, Katie’s recovering from “new COVID,” booking a (worryingly) budget trip to Australia, and face-planting in the mud — while Katy discovers the best massage of her life. Then the pair dive into their Room 101 special, gleefully banishing teenage behaviour, ignorant opinions, umbrellas, and people who eat while walking. Expect laughter, oversharing, and a few questionable life lessons from two midlife mates who really should know better.
