60! There must be some mistake?
The Big 6-Oh!
09/19/24 • 28 min
The Big 6-Oh! podcast, hosted by childhood friends Guy Rowlison and Kayley Harris, takes a nostalgic look at growing up and life at 60.
Having first met at Epping West Public School, they’ve known each other for nearly five decades and in their first episode, the duo reflects on the journey from their carefree primary school days to the surprising reality of turning 60.
From schoolyard antics, navigating friendships, and the hilariously awkward moments of their youth, Guy and Kayley embrace the mixed emotions that come with hitting the 'Big 6-Oh'.
From the perks — seniors' cards and priority parking — and the less glamorous aspects of getting older, they explore how life changes and what it means to "age" in a modern world where there are no rulebooks for growing old.
