Melbourne Rants, Café Raves & Old-School Summer Holidays

This week on The Midlifers Podcast, Mez and Fonz dive headfirst into nostalgia, midlife laughs and a very honest Rant or Rave on Melbourne. From unpredictable weather and terrifying hook turns to unbeatable coffee, food culture and world-class events, we ask the big question: is Melbourne still the most liveable city?Then it’s time for Then & Now: Kids’ Summer Fun, as we reminisce about growing up in the 80s and 90s. Think sprinklers on dry lawns, slip ’n slides, water balloons, beach days with vinyl seats and no air con, Sunny Boys, Barney Bananas, backyard cricket and riding bikes until the streetlights came on. How does that compare to kids’ summers today, with splash parks, pools, water guns and overseas holidays?Packed with Gen X nostalgia, Aussie humour and real talk about midlife, motherhood and growing up in simpler times, this episode is a love letter to summer memories - with plenty of laughs along the way.☕ Pop the kettle on and join your favourite midlife duo.✨ BONUS comp for our listeners...tune in to find out more!❗We are on Substack!
