Self-Employment Rants & How Romance Novels Got Spicy

from The Midlifers · host The Midlifers - Midlife Comedy and Nostalgia

This week the Midlifers kick things off with a lively chat with some behind-the-scenes housekeeping - including exciting plans for a live show coming up in April. There’s also a bit of feedback from listeners after the recent Whitney vs Mariah Who Did it Better episode - we love hearing from our community, so keep the comments coming in!In Rant & Rave, we chat self-employment. Fonz and Mez dive into the reality of working for yourself - the highs, the frustrations, and the things people don’t always talk about. From the freedom and flexibility to the stress, uncertainty and no time off from the business, it’s a relatable look at the ups and downs of going it alone professionally.Then it’s time for Then & Now, where the Midlifers explore the world of romance novels and how they’ve evolved over the years. From the classic bodice-ripper covers and shy heroines of decades past to today’s far more open, modern and diverse stories, the discussion is packed with laughs, nostalgia and a few cheeky observations about just how much the genre - and its readers - have changed.If you enjoyed the episode, don’t forget to follow, rate and share the podcast with your fellow Midlifers.
