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.

On this week’s Midweek Catchup, we mark three years of How To Be 60 — 180 episodes, one very fancy cake, and more honest chat than we ever expected.

We answer your questions: Are we actually friends? Are we scared of each other? Do we still have a sex drive? Plus reflections on motherhood, mortality, and what we’d do differently in the lead-up to 60.

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.

Whether you’re silver and proud or still hitting the bottle (of dye), this one’s for you.

Because when it comes to going grey, it’s never just about hair.
