The Big 6-Oh!
by Guy Rowlison & Kayley Harris
The Big 6-Oh! is the podcast that laughs in the face of turning 60. Hosted by radio favourite Kayley Harris and Guy Rowlison — overly confident, tragically proving otherwise — it’s a nostalgic, funny, and occasionally bewildered look at life beyond the milestone. From blue-light discos and fashion crimes to the creeping realisation that we’re now the old ones, this is where memories are revisited, rants are indulged, and the moments that made us who we are get a well-earned replay.

Todays Kids Wouldn't Believe Us
Remember when the biggest risk we took was stretching the cord on the phone down the hallway for a “private” chat, or hoping the headmaster wasn’t in a caning mood that day? In this episode, we laugh about the freedom (and slight chaos) of disappearing all day on our bikes, no tracking, no texts—just a vague “be home before dark.” From garden hose drinks to zero supervision, it’s a wonder we survived… and even more amazing kids today would believe we did.Send us Fan MailSupport the showJoin us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/thebig6oh

Jobs (n' stuff) Your Kids Wouldn't Believe Existed
This week on The Big 6-Oh, we take a nostalgic (and slightly cheeky) look at the jobs and everyday roles that have quietly disappeared — from typing pools to running behind the garbage truck — and the careers our grandkids would swear we made up.

The Big 6-Oh! is the podcast that laughs in the face of turning 60. Hosted by radio favourite Kayley Harris and Guy Rowlison — overly confident, tragically proving otherwise — it’s a nostalgic, funny, and occasionally bewildered look at life beyond the milestone. From blue-light discos and fashion crimes to the creeping realisation that we’re now the old ones, this is where memories are revisited, rants are indulged, and the moments that made us who we are get a well-earned replay.
