A more sombre tone this week as Chris, JP, Ali and Phil attempt to talk about the afterlife but end up talking about death and… associated topics like ghosts, ouija boards and psilocybin! It’s may be not all that funny but neither’s assisted dying becoming a real possibility in the UK. The big story of the week isn’t funny either. But we are watching some good stuff if you last till the end!

Ever wondered what it would be like to win the lottery? This time we do just that and consider how we’d behave, who we’d tell and what extravagant purchases we’d make. We also look at some stats that show it’s not necessarily a great thing to win a lottery. Then we get into some topical stories like Syria, the US election and the recent murder of an American Health Insurance CEO and reflect on what it all adds up to, if anything…

It’s Christmas! The boys rummage around under the tree to recall their favourite Christmas moments and presents… Chris makes a controversial suggestion about which holiday is the best and we all marvel at JP’s impressive recall when it comes to 80s cartoon theme tunes!

This week JP, Chris, Ali and Phil dive into the world of video games and their history (or not really history) with games consoles… The conversation somehow takes a hard left or two before we wrap up debating whether or not we’re all just living in a simulation like Elon Musk thinks we are. The we discuss some of the key news stories in typically sober fashion before looking at what we’ve been watching, reading or listening to that’s any good… or kind of okay in the case of Gladiator 2.
Midlife Mixtapes Episode 009 - Travels
Feedback@podcastclubhouse.co.uk
This week, Big Al is missing so Phil, JP and Chris get into their travels - best trips, embarrasing moments and what’s left to see! We canter through a few radioactive news subjects before abandoning that and instead focus on the large amount of very good TV there is to watch just now… much nicer than wars and politics - even though the shows are mostly about wars and politics.
Midlife Mixtapes Episode 008 - Money and Debt
This week the boys get into matters of money and debt - inc the best and worst money they’ve ever spent! Then we talk a bit about the economics of climate change and electric vehicles before finishing with a quick round up on what we’ve been watching, reading or listening to.
Midlife Mixtapes Episode 006 - Internet and AI
This week the boys discuss AI and the internet - going back to their first experiences of dial up and hotmail email addresses through to their (ahem) cutting edge use of digital tools today… including the dawn of consumer AI and whether that’s a whole new thing or just the next iteration of the internet-as-plumbing for humanity. As ever we also talk about a big new story and what we’ve been watching or listening to.
Midlife Mixtapes Episode 005 - Conspiracy Theories
The boys gather and discuss their favourite conspiracy theories, why they’ve taken hold in popular culture and what that says about us humans… then we discuss the main news stories of the day and what we’ve been watching, listening to or reading.
Midlife Mixtapes Episode 004 - Jobs
The boys gather to discuss their various journeys into the world of work - where it all began and how much the workplace has changed since 2002/3. Then we consider the new Labour government’s idea to enshrine the “right to switch off” in law alongside our thoughts on some of Gen Z/ Gen Alpha’s refusal to comply with “normal” workplace expectations… Finally we talk about what we’ve been watching, reading or listening to.
Midlife Mixtapes Episode 001 - University
The boys talk about life at University, what's in the news and what they're reading, listening to or watching.
