The Big 6-Oh!
The Big 6-Oh! is the podcast that laughs in the face of turning 60. Hosted by radio favourite Kayley Harris and Guy Rowlison — overly confident, tragically proving otherwise — it’s a nostalgic, funny, and occasionally bewildered look at life beyond the milestone. From blue-light discos and fashion crimes to the creeping realisation that we’re now the old ones, this is where memories are revisited, rants are indulged, and the moments that made us who we are get a well-earned replay.

Remember when the biggest risk we took was stretching the cord on the phone down the hallway for a “private” chat, or hoping the headmaster wasn’t in a caning mood that day? In this episode, we laugh about the freedom (and slight chaos) of disappearing all day on our bikes, no tracking, no texts—just a vague “be home before dark.” From garden hose drinks to zero supervision, it’s a wonder we survived… and even more amazing kids tod...
