Men at Home

In Episode 2 of Men at Home, Jason, Rod and Al explore the strange little realities of life after work.

Jason has started forgetting what he went into a room for, while Rod shares his daily brain-training routine — and a few thoughts about the practical challenges of getting older. Naturally, the conversation turns to the things we miss about work, including those wonderfully frustrating colleagues who expected you to solve every technical problem for them.

Then there's the challenge of filling the working day after redundancy. When LinkedIn has exhausted your patience, the job agencies want a small fortune, and Amazon starts looking suspiciously like productive research, what exactly are you supposed to do with yourself?

And finally, the big question: are smart household appliances becoming too smart? Imagine a self-aware dishwasher refusing to empty itself, a fridge reporting on your eating habits, or a biscuit jar keeping count. Welcome to the future — where even the Hobnobs are judging you.

Men at Home is a conversational podcast about redundancy, retirement, work, life at home and wondering what comes next. Two blokes and an over-serious digital anchor find the humour in everyday frustrations.

No advice. No HR department. Just honest conversations, daft observations and a bit of light relief.

What happens when you leave the world of work behind, only to discover that your memory, motivation and household appliances may all be working against you?

Episode 2 coming Wednesday 14th October 2026.

What happens when the job disappears but you're still at home?

In the first episode of Men at Home, Jason and Rod talk about life after redundancy — the awkward bits, the unexpected freedom and the strange new rules of being at home.

There's the guilt of buying something for yourself when you're no longer earning, the increasingly elaborate ways men hide deliveries from their partners, and the peculiar world of LinkedIn, where apparently everyone is passionate, positive and grateful for their "journey."

Al joins the conversation with his own slightly cynical take on unemployment, networking and the sudden transition from working man to Director of Domestic Operations.

No advice. No HR department. Just three voices, a few uncomfortable truths and hopefully a bit of light relief.

An introduction to Men at Home. Finding the funny side of life after redundancy.

A light-hearted weekly chat about new lives after losing old jobs.

Whether you are facing redundancy, planning early retirement, or trying to figure out what comes next, pull up a chair with two men at home making sense of starting over.
