The Mid•Point with Gabby Logan

Denise Lewis had an Olympic Gold medal and three lovely children and then at the age of 46 she decided to have another baby. While caring for a toddler at 47 she also found herself taking her teenage son to a BLM march and realising that she hadn’t really had frank conversations about race with any of her children until now. Dr Pixie McKenna joins to talk about the hormonal changes we experience in midlife. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Andrew Cotter might have had one of the most successful Lockdowns of all time, using his award winning commentary skills to entertain the internet with the help of his Labrador’s Mabel and Olive. At 47 he’d had itchy feet, lockdown forced his creative comedic brain into overdrive and a new venture was born. Jim Hytner Global COO of IPG Mediabrands joins in to discuss how to get your ‘lockdown’ business idea off the ground.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Michael Johnson may be a retired sprinter, but his journey is far from over.

Ian Marber joins us to talk about nutrition, and how to start paying into your nutritional pension.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Claudia Winkleman can’t wait to turn 50! The Cambridge educated Saturday night TV host will not fight ageing “grow your fringe longer” and is content “I have enough friends and I am not trying a new restaurant an hours drive across London with a ‘fun’ couple I met on holiday”. The key to a successful life for her is the ability to power nap, so Gabby and Claudia are joined by Sleep guru Nick Littlehales. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

John Bishop gave up his job as a pharmaceutical rep at 40 to become a full-time comedian, the result of one of the most successful mid-life crisis decisions ever.
