In this episode, Adam and Keith take a blunt look at the slow death of language, where love now means “I quite like this app update”, and hate means “this mildly inconvenienced me for eight seconds." The chaps also get triggered by... being triggered. About This Podcast Two middle-aged British authors, Adam Eccles and Keith A Pearson, highlight the trivial triggers of midlife angst.

In this episode, Adam and Keith unleash the Lady Rage, tackling the lack of pockets in women’s clothing, perimenopausal brain fog, and men’s (alleged) gift-buying inadequacies. It also serves as a reminder that sometimes in life, the smartest move is to shut up and offer chocolate.

The less-than-dynamic, middle-aged duo return with their very own Middle Raged Budget — a 10-point plan to “fix” Britain.

A dose of middle-aged humour about a world where we no longer own anything — we just rent, subscribe, and renew forever. In this episode, Adam and Keith hark back to the days when we bought music on cassettes and CDs, doorbells just chimed, and software came on a disc... usually in a nice box with a weighty manual. Now we lease or subscribe to everything: music, software, cars, and even bloody doo...

A burst of midlife humour as Adam and Keith explore the absurd world of exercise gadgets that promise six-packs but deliver buyer’s remorse.

A dose of dry British humour about the disappearing art of simply doing your bloody job.

A wise man once said, “Opinions are like arseholes, in that everyone has one." In this episode, Adam and Keith give their opinion on... opinions.

Human societies have evolved over millennia, passing significant milestones such as the Classical Age, the Scientific Revolution, the Enlightenment, and the Industrial Age.

In this episode, Adam and Keith delve into the world of Help & Support - a misnomer if ever there was one. The chaps cover every frustrating element from waiting on hold to companies delegating support to their own customers via forums.  Send us a text Support the show Join Adam Eccles and Keith A Pearson as they highlight the trivial triggers of midlife angst.

In this episode, Adam and Keith tackle the subject of disclaimers and consumer advice - almost all of it completely absurd. Why are we told to drink responsibly by companies peddling alcoholic beverages, and who gets to decide what constitutes 'responsible'? Are we heading towards a world where the Alcohol Police patrol the tables in every Wetherspoons? Maybe. Warning: This episode may c...

In this episode, Adam and Keith focus on the fact that social etiquette is on the wane. With many, many examples, the chaps begin by listing their specific gripes about society's selfishness when it comes to using mobile phones and driving.

In this episode, Adam and Keith question why so many aspects of modern life are immeasurably more complicated than they need to be.

In this (extended) episode, Adam and Keith discuss a subject they're vaguely qualified to rant about - books.  If you've ever considered writing a book, or you're an avid reader with a passing interest in how a book ends up on your Kindle, you might learn something interesting ... emphasis on the word 'might'.  Send us a text Support the show Join Adam Eccles and Keith A P...

In this (late) episode, Adam and Keith share their respective gripes with mobile phone apps.
