In this hilarious and heartfelt podcast, award-winning comedian Nelly Thomas and guest co-hosts offer sex, relationship and dating advice from the other side of 40. Like many people, Nelly got “Covid Divorced” after a long relationship and not only was it not a disaster, it was best for everyone involved. Turning 40 is something faced with dread by some but Nelly has a different take - this is when you really come into your own. Nelly and her guest co-hosts will help you navigate the highs and lows of break-ups, dating, relationships, sex and everything else in-between. Guest co-hosts so far include Cal Wilson, Harley Breen, Mel Buttle, Scott Brennan and Geraldine Hickey.
