Too Young for This, Too Old for That

And they are back with a long episode! Money, money, money - and why nobody taught us how to handle it. Anji (ex-banker, now self-employed) and Annie (24, hustling across acting and content) get into the conversation we're all supposedly not meant to have: salaries, savings, pensions, charging your worth, and why financial literacy should be on the curriculum. Expect credit card roulette stories,...

M&S is one of our favourite intergenerational shops - so why can't we agree what size we are anymore? Annie picked up the same top in an 8, a 12 and finally a 14. Anji can't squeeze into a "14" at all. This week we get into vanity sizing, why inconsistent sizing does your head in, the catwalk that ruffled feathers, and why a national institution really needs to just serve a woman's body. We still...

After a whole month apart, Anji and Annie are finally back in the same room - and they're letting you eavesdrop. In this week's Gen in 10, they catch up on compassionate leadership training, a soul-restoring women's retreat in rural Wales, acting auditions (we can't say what for), brand work, A-levels, dissertations, and a piece of ancient Vedantic wisdom that perfectly sums up wha...

Madonna's in the crowd. Trudeau's eating noodles with Katy Perry. The Old Chellas are cheering people in with signs. And Anji is in a feather boa. This week's Gen in 10, we're asking: how old is too old for Coachella? Spoiler - it's not about age at all. It's about owning it. We settle the Trudeau debate, give Madonna a (mostly) free pass, wonder what would happen if it was Keir Starmer in a backw...

Join Anji & Annie for their inaugural Agony Aunt edition. In this episode, the As answer a range of tricky questions: - What to do when your Mum leaves breathy voice notes - If it's ok to clap once the plane lands - Is an 8year age gap too much in a relationship - And what does an upside-down pineapple on a cruise-ship door mean??? Laughs, connection and the unique 2Young2Old approach to t...

Do Annie & Anji still like eachother? After 6 months together - what do they value about their friendship? Would they be friends if they were the same age? What are the similarities & differences between them? Will they decide to continue the podcast after this episode? Take a listen...

Anji and Annie discuss THE intergenerational topic of the week - Netflix's Age of Attraction. . . One not to be missed!

Our first ever guest joins the podcast - and it’s someone very special to us. Denise Nurse is best known as the face of Escape to the Country and BBC Morning Live , but her journey started in corporate law before she built and sold her own business and stepped into the world of television, coaching and entrepreneurship. In fact, Denise is also the reason Anji and Annie met in the first place - whi...

2006 a bit of a mind-blower? Don't worry, Annie and Anji are back to put the world to rights.

Welcome to Gen & 10, the little sister podcast series to ‘Too Young For This, Too Old For That’, where we explore generational topics in just 10 minutes. In our first Gen & 10 episode, we dive into nostalgia and ask why Gen Z seems to be bringing so many 90s trends back. From iconic films like Pretty Woman, to 90s fashion, music, and cultural moments, including the lasting influence of Pri...

At some point — usually far later than we’d like to admit — we realise our parents are actual human beings. Not just “Mum” and “Dad”, but former teenagers, dreamers, professionals, people with full lives before we arrived. In this episode, we explore that strange shift: from being raised to slowly raising back. We talk about strict versus laissez-faire parenting, living at home in your twenties, c...

Send a text Fear of Missing Out is usually talked about as something to fix, quieten, or grow out of. But what if FOMO is actually trying to tell us something important? In this first episode of Season Two, we explore FOMO across generations - from the pressure to “be on track” in your twenties to the looking-back and taking-stock that comes later in life. We talk about comparison, ageing, social...

Send a text In this final episode of Season One, we pause. Instead of diving into a new topic, we look back at what it’s been like to create this podcast - as two women from different generations who barely knew each other when we started. We reflect on the moments that surprised us, the conversations that stayed with us, and what we’ve learned about work, mental health, money, confidence and conn...

Send a text In this festive episode (also available in video on YouTube) Anji and Annie sit down to talk about what Christmas has meant to them across different stages of life. From childhood memories and family traditions to the pressures of presents, social media and modern expectations, they explore how Christmas evolves as we grow older. Together, they reflect on faith, community, generosity a...

Send a text Christmas is meant to be magical… but somewhere between the Secret Santas, scented candles and panic-buying “tat,” the whole thing has got a bit commercial. In this episode, Anji and Annie sit down for an honest conversation about gifting - what feels meaningful, what we actually remember and why sometimes the best presents aren’t things at all. From PictureHouse memberships and Nation...

Send a text Anji and Annie dive into the world of generational labels - Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, and the freshly-minted Alphas. Are these categories helpful, or just another way of putting people in boxes? From snowflake stereotypes and “out of touch” clichés, to early-2000s phones, COVID micro-generations, work ethic, entitlement, politics, and the tattoos that apparently give eve...

Send a text One cried in toilet cubicles, one grew up on TikTok therapy. Here's what happened next.  In this episode, Anji and Annie dive into how mental health has shifted across generations - from crying in loo cubicles in the 90s to therapy TikTok, wellness trends and the pressure to constantly ‘do the work’. Annie opens up about her own mental health journey, Anji shares candidly about gr...

Send a text Who would’ve thought a 23-year-old actor and a 53-year-old osteopath would become besties? In this episode, Anji (53) and Annie (23) unpack friendship across generations: the roles we play, how fast bonds can form, curating vs collecting pals, “season and reason”, and what happens when friendships drift—or end. They swap stories from NCT mum-tribes to drama school mates, ask whether me...

Send a text This week, Annie and Anji unpack the big one - confidence . From audition nerves to corporate boardrooms, they explore what it really means to own the room : is confidence something you’re born with, or something you bluff until it sticks? Anji shares stories from her banking days and a few unforgettable cringe moments, while Annie recalls the drama-school highs, lows and how teaching...

Send a text Two women, three decades apart, two completely different Friday nights.  😅 In this episode, Annie (23, drama-school grad, proud non-clubber) spends the evening watching the Downton Abbey film with her parents and a cinema full of delighted OAPs, while Anji (53, osteopath, ex-banker, secret raver) is out at Annie Mac’s “Before Midnight” - dancing hard and still home by 10.30pm. From 90...

Send a text Annie (23, actor, just out of drama school) and Anji (53, osteopath and ex-banker) get honest about one of the messiest adult questions: do you pick the secure, sensible path… or the thing that actually lights you up? They swap origin stories - Annie ditching the uni conveyor belt to audition for drama school while all her friends headed to Exeter and Durham, and Anji leaving a well-pa...
