Confessions of the Plastic Addicted - feat. Black Mantle

Today, Midlife Heresy commits the ultimate midlife sin: competence. For our very first guest episode, we’re joined by the masterminds behind Black Mantle to discuss how grown adults end up spending their precious evening hours edge-highlighting tiny plastic shoulders. We dive deep into hobby origin stories, confront our collective Piles of Shame, and ask the hard-hitting questions: Are airbrushes essential tools or just expensive propaganda? Why does everyone secretly want to drink the paint water? Plus, Matt and Lucas pitch some groundbreaking (and deeply unhinged) new product ideas, including an alarm system designed to save your £30 brush from a caffeine-induced death. Grab a beverage, hide your grey plastic, and join the heresy.
