Raj Pander is phuckin 40 and she's lost her voice. It turns out that even though she wanted to do nothing for her 40th, her friends had other plans...Raj gets into the representation of women in their late 30s/early 40s in film as according to the internet, Anne Hathaway is "too hot" to play a 40 year old in The Idea Of You, even though she's 41. And apparently, being 40 means she shouldn't be wearing "shoulder bearing" dresses. Has anyone ever see Moonstruck? There 's some Met Gala tea. Raj tries to figure out why she didn't want to do anything for her 40th, so she's asked her friends how they plan to celebrate theirs and what they thought 40 would look like vs what it actually will look like...

Raj Pander shares the Almost 40 origin story, her love for the "woman scorned" genre and tries to find out why it's rude to ask a woman her age. There's also some Cowboy Carter, Swiftie and Mariah Carey chat. And she's pretty sure she's taken something Annie Mac said out of context...Email almost40thepodcast@gmail.comFollow @almost40pod @_rajpanderLinks:Mariah Carey hitting the high notes @ The Celebration Of Mimi Live from Las Vegas https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeH9AKK8/ Hosted on Acast.

Raj Pander is a lot of Almosts. Almost a promising young woman (she got told she was too old for a job). Almost a wifey for lifey (she’s a divorcee - according to Indian Matchmaking/Sima Aunty that makes her “disadvantaged”). And she’s Almost 40 (and hasn’t got a clue). Single. Living at home with her parents. Still watching TV shows made for teens. Still swearing on work calls. Still has an unhealthy obsession with pop culture. She’s getting older, but not necessarily wiser (s/o to Taylor Swift for relatable lyrics). Raj is heading for a milestone birthday and has no interest in celebrating it. But she’ll talk about milestones on this podcast, not just the ones we associate with age, WE decide what a milestone is around here! On each episode, Raj and her guests will get into 3 milestones from their lives and whatever else is on their mind.Who said you’ve got to have your shit together by a certain age?Email almost40thepodcast@gmail.com and follow us on socials @almost40pod @_rajpander Hosted on Acast.
