How To Be 60 with Kaye Adams

• Cheryl Fergison: My Head’s Still 25 — But My Body’s Not Having It

  On this week’s episode, we’re joined by actress Cheryl Fergison — forever known to many as Heather from EastEnders — who opens up about turning 60, the decade of upheaval she’s survived, and why this milestone might just mark her true comeback.From cancer and food banks to trolls and tabloid takedowns, Cheryl reflects on the tough years since Albert Square — and how her younger husband, her son, and a hard-won sense of humour have kept her going.Also in this episode: Kaye confesses to texting through a spin class (yes, really), Karen finally gets new shoes (not hers), and we wonder aloud — do we share too much with our kids, or not enough?Because no one tells you that ageing doesn’t feel like ageing — until your knees start shouting louder than your Spotify.Get in touch with your thoughts at [email protected].

• Midweek Catchup: This Is 60 Now — And It Looks Nothing Like Our Mums

  On this week’s Midweek Catchup, we’re talking about how turning 60 today is a whole different beast — less pinnies and perms, more denim cut-offs and dodgy car keys. From grandmothers on ponies to short hair politics and the surprisingly emotional weight of a fringe, we unpack how getting older has changed — in looks, in attitude, and in spirit.Get in touch with your thoughts at [email protected] tickets for our live show at the Edinburgh Fringe at https://tickets.gildedballoon.co.uk/event/14:5856/ Hosted on Acast.

• Mark Steel: Cancer, Comedy & Calling Time on the Small Stuff

  On this week’s episode, we’re joined by comedian and broadcaster Mark Steel, who brings his signature wit to a chapter of life no one volunteers for: cancer. Diagnosed with throat cancer in 2023, Mark talks candidly — and hilariously — about mucus tsunamis, rebellious ward neighbours, and the dark comedy of the critical care unit.But this isn’t just about illness. It’s about what changes — your tolerance for whingeing about builders, your appreciation for a good view, and maybe even your relationship status. Because when the doctor says touch wood, you stop assuming there’ll always be time to fix things.Whether you’re laughing through fear, falling out over hair dye, or just wondering if you’ve become your town’s version of Wrexham… this one will hit you in the heart, then in the ribs.Get in touch with your thoughts at [email protected] can catch Mark on tour throughout this year.

• Midweek Catchup: Counting Springs, Snuggles, and Bowls of Porridge

  On this week’s Midweek Catchup, we’re deep in the joys (and jolts) of ageing as Kaye and Karen swap sun damage confessions, dream of cosy nights, and face the ticking clock of life after 60. Inspired by Jo Good’s honesty about turning 70, the conversation spirals from speckled décolletés to major life rethinkings — downsizing, new clothes, state pensions, and whether counting snuggles instead of springs makes the passing years feel a little sweeter.Whether you’re feeling fired up to carpe diem your sixties or still clinging to your thousands of bowls of porridge, there’s solidarity (and a few laughs) here.Get in touch with your thoughts at [email protected].
