All Access - The Mid-Century Tour

Society EN ↓ 4 episodes

From all All-Access passes, to passing on social obligations. After spending decades working in the music industry, seeing the sun rise from tour buses and concert venues, we discuss the glorious pivot from 'I’m on the list' to 'I'll stay home.' From herding rockstars to herding dogs, kids, and dodging dinner plans. If you're a 40+ perimenopausal female, going to be one, or know one, and your bedtime is now earlier than a headlining band's set time, this podcast is for you.

Once Upon A Musical Life 04.03.2026

Once upon a musical life, we were backstage, working with bands, and staying up all night as if sleeping was optional. In this episode, we're on our way to a concert and think back on the lives we lived in our 20s and 30s, working in the music industry, running meet-and-greets, following tours, and somehow existing on adrenaline and truck stop snacks. It was chaotic and magical, but wildly uns...

I Forgot Where I Was Going With This... 18.02.2026

In this episode of All Access: The Mid-Century Tour , we discuss "dressing your age", the importance of embracing new technology as a woman over 40, and the eternal debate: gray hair, embrace it or erase it? We were also joined by three dogs, one dead microphone, and an editor on the brink. The audio is chaotic, the topics are real, the laughs are intentional, the sound quality… not so m...

The B-Side: Life Unplugged, Unfiltered, and Unapologetic 04.02.2026

Introducing Birdie and JenX. They met in the music industry and, after having countless conversations about life, growing older, changing priorities, long-term friendship, parenting (dogs/kids), perimenopause, grief, joy, being neurodivergent (card-carrying members of the ADHD club), and choosing more nights in than nights out, they decided to share their thoughts with an audience. It’s real life,...
