The Middle-aged Bodcast

In this episode, we’re joined by the inspiring Saffron, host of the podcast BOOKED and founder of the upcoming website Indiosyncrasy, both dedicated to promoting and supporting independent authors.

Saffron shares her experiences of life as a Brit in the USA, from cultural quirks and her mother-in-law’s cooking to her excitement about making proper British pigs in blankets during her best friend’s Christmas visit.

We chat about how technology, like video calls, helps her stay connected with loved ones across the pond and dive into the creative world of BOOKED and Indiosyncrasy.

Things get cheeky as we discuss the number of times Richard Osman gets name-dropped on her podcast - Richard, leave us some room for success!

T.A. Shelano marvels at Saffron’s relentless drive, comparing it to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s motivational philosophy, while the trio debates the ethics of using AI to recreate deceased celebrities like Michael Parkinson for modern interviews.

It’s a fun, thoughtful, and inspiring episode that’s not to be missed!

Welcome to Single, Married, Brummie! That’s right - Raging Rich has given the Bodcast a cheeky rebrand for this special episode featuring the fabulous Jessica and Tara, hosts of the brilliant Single, Married, Guiri. Jess and Tara share hilarious and insightful stories about life as expats in Andalucía, from navigating cultural quirks to dishing on dating and dining abroad.

We dive into what it really means to be a 'Guiri,' share a good laugh over everyone suddenly going sober, and bond over our shared disbelief that someone doesn’t know who Alanis Morissette is.

Of course, we couldn’t resist giving the ladies a crash course in Brummie culture, including a lively discussion about T.A.’s bull logo, a shoutout to the iconic Ozzy the Bull, and our best (and most questionable) efforts to boost Birmingham tourism. With tales from Andalucía, Brummie charm, and plenty of laughs, this crossover episode is one you don’t want to miss!

On this week’s episode of The Middle-aged Bodcast, Raging Rich and T.A. Shelano chat with the inspiring Aimee P., a devoted mother and passionate runner.

Aimee opens up about her incredible fitness journey, sharing how she balances running with family life and offering practical advice for anyone looking to take up the sport. Aimee reflects on some of her proudest moments, including completing the London Marathon to raise funds for a brain tumour charity in honour of her brother’s best friend. She also reveals her plans to tackle a festive charity park run - complete with a Christmas turkey for every participant - alongside her sister, who isn’t a runner but is stepping up for the fun and challenge (and turkey).

The laughs come thick and fast as Aimee shares her funniest running stories, including the chaos of her birthday park run, and T.A. and Aimee recall resisting the temptation of pizza at a recent birthday gathering (unlike Rich, who admits he’d have caved without a second thought). To cap it all off, T.A. delights everyone with his Arnold Schwarzenegger impression, adding a dose of comedy to this heartfelt episode.

Full of humour and inspiration, this episode will leave you ready to hit the ground running - or at least cheering on those who do!

In this episode of The Middle-aged Bodcast, Raging Rich and T.A. Shelano welcome Sarah, who dives into the ups and downs of dating in your 30s and 40s. From hilarious dating stories to navigating fake profiles, Sarah shares her take on free vs paid dating apps and why she prefers meeting in person over online connections. Plus, Rich opens up about his "Worst first date ever" in a tale you won't want to miss!
