Episode 42 is now ready for your listening displeasure. You know where to get it by now, but if you don't... middleraged.uk/episodes/

Episode 42 is in the can and should land on your preferred pod platform within the next 48 hours.

Just a heads-up - due to forces beyond our control, we're pausing production of the next episode for a while. It's not a permanent pause, so we'll be back in February... at some point. Thanks for your patience. Keep raging. 🤬

In this episode, we take a blunt look at the slow death of language, where love now means “I quite like this app update”, and hate means “this mildly inconvenienced me for eight seconds." We also get triggered by... being triggered. 🥴 middleraged.uk/episodes/

@Julespickford Even we can see the error of this husband's ways. He should have gone for the Ninja Foodi 15-in-1 Multi-Cooker - a fantastic device that would enhance any kitchen. But, a simple rice cooker? No wonder his wife was disappointed!

@middleraged. This! 😡

If you have a modest social media presence (1,000+ followers) and fancy joining us for a rant, applications for guest spots are now open - middleraged.uk/guests/ Feel free to share this post, or tag anyone you'd love to hear on the Middle Raged Podcast.

In our very first guest episode, Keith talks to author and self-appointed grumpy bugger, Jason Ayres (@TheTimeBubble). As part of a new series of episodes - in which guests propose bills for the Middle Raged Manifesto - Jason enters the chamber to discuss his petty gripes. middleraged.uk/episodes/

@Julespickford We're digging the rage, Jules, and frankly, we'd much rather be told what to buy. Happy New Year. 😏

@MiddleRaged Right! 😡Firstly marzipan is the food of Gods. Secondly, I repeat NO gift for a woman should have a plug on it - YOU will buy a hair straightener when she wants a curler. Thirdly, buy what you are told. I am secret Santa for myself every year. It works! Happy Christmas! 😉

In this episode, we unleash the 'Lady Rage', tackling the lack of pockets in women’s clothing, perimenopausal brain fog, and men’s (alleged) gift-buying inadequacies. middleraged.uk/episodes/

@its_mr_0 "For millennia to come, my death and rising will be celebrated with a three-month consumption of Cornish biscuits. And chocolate eggs."

@MiddleRaged To add to the post-Christmas rage, just seen this in the local Big Tesco

Episodes 39 and 40 are both in the can, and they'll be delivered to your podcast player of choice on the 27th of December and the 4th of January. Think of them as belated (and probably unwanted) Christmas presents. 😁 In the meantime, ho, ho, bloody ho. 🎅

For our next episode, we're discussing 'Lady Rage', which is not a euphemism, we'd add. It occurred to us that some of our female listeners might not want to disclose their rage points on a public forum, so if you have one, you can also submit it via our website - anonymously, if you prefer. middleraged.uk/contact/

Get it later and pay extra for the privilege. Great shipping incentive there, Amazon. 😏

@Julespickford An on-topic AND seasonal rant - definitely going on the list. 😁

@MiddleRaged As said before ……the sheer ineptitude of men at buying gifts.🤬Do better.

A message from our spokesman...

@Julespickford There are still 10 days before Christmas, so we chaps aren't in gift-buying mode yet. Check back around 4pm on Christmas Eve. 😁

@MiddleRaged Lads! I would like to see you talk about Christmas shopping. Last year I told you about Ashley who bought an anti-aging kit for his 28yo wife wrapped in kitchen towel. Mike? A vase from a garden centre with a crack in it with Esso flowers in it. How hard is it?😤

Coming up next on Middle Raged ... @MiddleRaged

@Hart10Tony Mate, we all like a slice of Battenberg, and we're all partial to a Malteser, but this is an abomination. A bastard child.

@MiddleRaged Two of my favourite things in one packet! What shop should I be running to? 😋

We warned against this, and still they keep coming...

This man makes a valid point. Please give him a share. 😏

Ladies, we need your help with Episode 39. Tell us your top rants only women would understand. Big stuff, small stuff, petty stuff — whatever makes you think, “Yep… only another woman would get this.” We’ll pick the best ten and do our very best to listen, learn… and almost certainly misunderstand your point.
