The BBC is a British institution but what does all the recent rumpus mean for it’s reputation and future - is it an indicator or an instigator of polarised modern culture!

Midlife Mixtapes Episode 035 - High Performance
1y ago · 1:22:09
This week Chris, Phil and JP discuss high performance in Big Al’s absence - what do we think that means in our own work and lives across the military, government and industry… what have we given up to be high-performers, if that’s what we are? Was it worth it? We take a little spin through the news of the day - mainly deciding the UK’s got itself in a bit of a state but at least there’s finally a lot of good movies and tv out! feedback@podcastclubhouse.co.uk Insta: @midlifemixtapes
Midlife Mixtapes Episode 034 - The Afterlife
1y ago · 1:07:12
A more sombre tone this week as Chris, JP, Ali and Phil attempt to talk about the afterlife but end up talking about death and… associated topics like ghosts, ouija boards and psilocybin! It’s may be not all that funny but neither’s assisted dying becoming a real possibility in the UK. The big story of the week isn’t funny either. But we are watching some good stuff if you last till the end! feedback@podcastclubhouse.co.uk Insta @midlifemixtapes
Midlife Mixtapes Episode 033 - The Lottery
1y ago · 1:24:45

1y ago · 1:23:40

We then contemplate the fact that the world seems determined to move into World War III for some reason before deciding it’s all a bit too bleak and the apocalyptic dystopia is better left to Hollywood than real life. Please.
Midlife Mixtapes Episode 031 - Booze
1y ago · 1:19:01
This week JP, Ali, Phil and Chris talk about booze. Where did it begin, the most brutal hangovers and injuries and what we drink now versus back in the day. The news is all too grim so we skip that and instead focus on JPs obsession with the “Dave” channels’ bottomless barrel of B-list panel game shows!
