In the latest 'out of the archives' Summer Rewind episode, we revisit our hilarious, sharp and heartfelt conversation with comedian, author and podcaster Jenny Eclair, all about life after menopause, ageing unapologetically, and embracing the next chapter with grit, wit, and a sense of humour.

💬 What You’ll Hear In This Episode:

• Why boredom in your 50s and onwards is a myth – Jenny shares how she’s always busy, never bored, and how developing the “craft hormone” in midlife keeps her creative and curious.
• Menopause and beyond – the emotional rollercoaster, society’s expectations, and what it means to become invisible when the work slows down.
• Men vs Women in ageing – why, by 60, men risk turning into “human Toby jugs”, while women remain their harshest critics.
• From slipper shufflers to death duties – Jenny’s hilariously honest take on relationships, including why she finally got married for practical reasons (spoiler: it's about inheritance tax).
• The joy (and ache) of being or not being a grandmother.
• Turning 60 during lockdown and not being able to use her hard-earned Oyster card for free travel!
• How friendships shift in your 60s — and her candid reflections on not always being the best friend when work got in the way.
• And most importantly, why laughter really is the best medicine for navigating midlife madness.

This episode is a funny, fearless and refreshingly honest look at midlife, ageing, relationships, and identity — with plenty of relatable moments and laugh-out-loud lines.
