From the chokehold of the iPod Classic to the growing craving for offline listening, they explore why old tech might just be the next best thing.Of course, they couldn’t not debrief Coachella 2026 — including the Justin Bieber moment. What’s going on, what are the vibes, and why does it feel like festivals aren’t about the music and experience anymore?And finally, Lilli shares her long-time love of Allison Bornstein and how she’s implementing real changes to her wardrobe — shopping her own closet, building new outfits, and completely shifting how she gets dressed. ​​It’s a thoughtful reset that’s genuinely changing the way she approaches style.Follow us on Instagram @suddenlythirtypodcast to stay up to date with what we’ve been up to, behind the scenes and future episodes.Subscribe to the Suddenly Thirty Substack where we collate all the things we’ve been into this week and share them with you.
