This week on How to Be 60, Kay and Karen are joined by two brilliantly unfiltered voices: beauty journalist Nadine Baggott and radio host/fashion YouTuber Jo Good. They dive into the raw realities of ageing -from solo living and post-menopause sex to bold fashion choices and why staying visible is an act of defiance. Expect sharp insights, irreverent laughs, and zero sugar-coating. It’s a no-holds-barred conversation about living unapologetically, embracing change, and throwing out the rules about what women “should” be after 60.

On this week’s Midweek Catchup, we’re fresh from the Easter fog and diving into the glorious chaos of post-holiday reflections — from dodgy egg pouches to a Japanese knife so sharp it’s been deemed a danger to national security (or at least Kay’s fingers).
We’re talking:
Age-inappropriate presents (hello, 12-year-old egg cups)Men who try with gifts (rollerblades at 40, anyone?)Why some health presents just feel like a passive-aggressive diagnosisAnd the dark art of the last-minute Sainsbury’s Easter aisle scrambleBecause no one tells you that turning 60 means you might genuinely be delighted by a battery-powered de-bobbler — or that someone might gift you a toasty maker shaped like a cow.
Whether you’re loving the dark chocolate diet loophole or quietly resenting your polar bear fleece, this one’s for you.

What happens when a woman who built a $276 million empire loses it all—and then starts over? Susan Powter, the fierce force behind Stop the Insanity, joins us to talk about fame, betrayal, Uber Eats, and unstoppable rage. Her story is a bold reminder that it's never too late to reinvent, rage, and rise.
In this episode, Susan opens up about her raw journey—from 90s megastar to gig worker—and why she’s proud of where she is today. She shares the emotional toll, the power of rage, and what it means to age unapologetically in a world that often tries to silence women.
She’s now reclaiming her story with a new memoir, And Then M Died: Stop the Insanity, a deeply personal account of loss, survival, and transformation. Plus, with a Jamie Lee Curtis-backed documentary in the works, the revolution will absolutely be televised.
We’d love to hear what you think: email us at [email protected], and don’t forget to rate, review, and share. To follow Susan’s next chapter—including her upcoming live-streamed reality series—connect with her on Instagram @officialsusanpowter.

On this week’s Midweek Catchup, Kaye and Karen compare notes on Berlin kebab streets and Tokyo toilet symphonies — and ask the big question: has planning holidays ruined the joy of getting lost?
Whether you’re the spontaneous type or someone with a colour-coded itinerary, there’s something here for you — from near misses with German nightlife to unexpected egg sandwich revelations, rogue corns, and slightly-too-cozy reunions with your daughter’s ex.
Because no one tells you midlife travel might be less about raunch and more about heated seats.

On this week’s episode, we’re joined by Suzanne Noble, who isn’t just lifting the lid on sex after 60 — she’s throwing it across the room. From vaginal dryness to scheduling pleasure like a GP appointment, we talk about everything women whisper about but rarely say out loud.
Whether you’re single, partnered, or negotiating with a Labrador in your bed, this one’s for anyone who's ever wondered if their libido went into early retirement. We cover why humour often hides embarrassment, how menopause reshapes desire, and what it really means to reclaim your pleasure on your own terms.
Because no one tells you that sex in later life isn’t just about hormones — it’s about headspace, honesty, and maybe a little help from vaginal probiotics.

Whether you’ve been with us from the start or just found us via a rant about fruitcake, this episode is a thank you. Because no one tells you how much can change after 60 — or how good it can still be.

On this week’s episode, we’re joined by West End icon and Olivier Award-winner Ruthie Henshall, who opens up about the invisible weight of grief, the unpredictability of ageing, and why being “the nice judge” isn’t always easy.
From losing her sister to suicide, to rediscovering her voice after a decade-long struggle, Ruthie speaks with striking honesty about loneliness, single parenting, and feeling invisible at 58. But this isn’t a sob story — it’s a deeply human one. There’s also lipstick drama, ghosting on dating apps, and a warning about Berlin art galleries (don’t say we didn’t tell you).
Whether you’re rethinking your next chapter, missing a partner you never had, or just wondering what the hell to do with an orange lipstick, this one’s for you.
