The Hot Flush episodes

October 11 S3Ep2: Wheezing your way to confidence
Sometimes revisiting the life goals you wrote down when you were 14 can cause absolute mayhem and nose bleeds. It's like laughter through tears just messier. And midlife confidence is a thing, and in the words of the make-up overlord L'Oreal, you're worth it.

September 29 S3Ep1: Clippity clop, back in the saddle for Season 3
Nothing says reentry after a break than coming back to deeply disturbing human behaviour and questioning your very worth. Luckily there are horsies, friendships, laughter, career highpoints and new lipsticks. The valedictorians of light and shade are back.

September 08 S2Ep12: Series Finale - Look at us learning
It's time to quit the negative self talk and worries about getting older. Also, kitten heeled jelly sandals are not OK and silk evening gowns seem questionable attire to the races. Or maybe we're just envious of boobs and bits not requiring support or absorbent reassurance. A two week break is in the offing. Probably best for all of us.

September 01 S2Ep11: To fat to rave, the inability to recall, and comfort eating
A far reaching conversation from teenage body dysmorphia, to corruption inquiries as a stage for Oscar award winning levels of memory loss, comfort foods - then and now - and the joy of a good mani.

August 25 S2Ep10: Freestylin'
Off script, no script, no notes, FIVE STARS. Girl crushes, the need for a Miss World-esque sash, incriminating voice notes, age-inappropriate behaviour, the need for mapping quality public toilets when rectal integrity is not guaranteed, and more beauty product advice. It's fast, it's loose, it's probably our best yet.

July 14 S2Ep7: The power of sleep, a bird show and latest fashun revival
Kim has bounced back thanks to prescription melatonin but still struggles with words and coherent complete sentences. There is deliberation on the rules when it comes to wearing vintage fur and what it takes for Kayte to strut like she's on a Parisian catwalk. She then takes us on a journey to animal showing - rabbits, rats, birds, and sheep dog trials. And just as we have previously discussed the return of the bush, this week it is the return of culottes. Something for everyone!

July 08 S2Ep6: Tired, fat and lumpy - how you doin'?
A number of TWs - addiction, depression, overdosing, self-administering medications. We are two middle-aged tired, lumpy and bumpy idiots - everything in this podcast is not medical advice.
Kayte celebrates turning 53 by behaving like a ray of sunshine so bright it is almost beyond comprehension while Kim, 53 for seven months longer than Kayte, embodies her true gremlin of sadness, despair, and maudlin thoughts. It's good times.

July 08 S2Ep6: Tired, fat and lumpy - how are you doin?
This episode Kim and Kayte take you on a journey from sweet memories to how there is no such things as "just" a barnacle, particularly when it's on your face. Kayte expands on her theory about what happens when you turn 47, and Kim tries to provide a succinct, coherent, and not too maudlin update on 28 years as a mum to someone with a disability.
