The Hot Flush

A number of TWs - addiction, depression, overdosing, self-administering medications. We are two middle-aged tired, lumpy and bumpy idiots - everything in this podcast is not medical advice. Kayte celebrates turning 53 by behaving like a ray of sunshine so bright it is almost beyond comprehension while Kim, 53 for seven months longer than Kayte, embodies her true gremlin of sadness, despair, and ma...

It turns out Kayte's declaration of eyebrow maximisation was only about waxing. We talk threading and how perhaps updated beauty treatments are just not that bad. Or painful. Kim still hasn't found a pair of jeans - her courage in this quest is untold. Except on the podcast, where it is profuse. More make-up recommendations, and a serious chat about the adjustment to being a mum to adults. Learn m...

This week Kayte ranks her top three funerals and shares the strict instructions for her own passing. In a complete turn of events, Kim is still moving and goes on and on about it. We meant to talk about the power of music on mood but forgot, so keep an eye out for that in Ep5. There are readers' questions and our Product of the Week. Let's go! Learn more about your ad choices.

Kim and Kayte deliberate on the difference of a story or a list of very boring facts. They call in the big guns of beauty and farshun (Jack) and Kim scores a make-over, taking at least 6 months off her appearance. Dream jobs, worst jobs, the latest health updates, and how Kayte's cat keeps cloning itself. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Kayte finds the shortcomings of Chat GPT when it comes to solving restlessness, we discuss the merits and deficits of an open fire, Kim reflects on moving following a medical misadventure, we reminisce on the awards we have won and how we're now using the modern iteration of Oil of Ulan (now Ulay to unify global branding, apparently). But most of all, Kayte makes Kim try a lip "stain" recommended...

After an unintended five week break, Kayte and Kim are back with tales of medical misadventure, confusing (ex) ABC royalty Sarah McDonald with sugar hater Sarah Wilson, finding a fountain of youth in Bali for $6, how much Prince loved the puss and so much more.

A bumper edition as we bring Season 1 of The Hot Flush v2.0 to a close. Kim monologues about the NDIS, Kayte monologues about friendship and delivers the second of our regular 'Products we love' segment (a record for us) - in Season 2 we might actually make it regular. Maybe. We go through a haul of readers' questions, laugh like witches stirring a cauldron, and all the usual nonsense. Learn more...

Kim comes across as completely sane by revealing her imaginary arch nemesis, Kayte is well and truly over being her new GP's latest science experiment. We travel down memory lane, Kayte reflects on her brushes with fame, Kim explains the joys of the Puffing Billy, and we commiserate on the challenges of getting a wee sample.

Kim forgot to take her dexies and Kayte is waiting for the Coloxyl to kick in, which means there is no better time for Kim's oversharing, Kayte's crankiness, unsolicited medical advice, and relationship guidance. Get on board. (NOTE: In this episode we talk about medical conditions and treatments. We are not doctors or medical professionals in any way so please do not use our advice for any medica...
