Youth is wasted on the young—and perfect is boring.

Need to kick your own ass back into relevance? “Less kvetch, more stress!” says veteran DJ and Aged to Imperfection co-host Chico Scott. Aka an apt MO for this 2023-born local podcast battling middle-aged malaise with mischief and mirth for hipsters and quipsters of a certain age seeking enlightenment—often with the help of “whippersnapper guests.” Tune in as middle-aged hosts—and lifelong cohorts—fetch fresh POV and goofs on the vagaries of life and pop culture via self-lacerating humor on topics from fashion faux pas to accumulated clutter to aching bodies (raise your hand if you hurt your neck sleeping) and more. “To paraphrase a poet, we’re raging against the dying of the hipster light,” says co-host and writer/entrepreneur Billy Warden. “We’re more than eager to reboot everything from our lingo to our basic life assumptions. But it’s a process—hopefully an amusing one.” You’ll find us laughing. Produced by Little Raleigh Radio, stream on Spotify

Juicy nugget: Episode 9, “Oversharing the Best Parts: Are you starting a podcast as part of a midlife crisis or do you have something important to say?” On this epipod, “whippersnapper” guest Earfluence Producer Cee Cee Huffman stages an intervention: …  Snippet worth sharing from “middle-aged” co-host: “A [15-year-old] kid looked at me and said, ‘Why is it that everyone your age wants to get on a microphone and tell all of the rest of us how life should be done?’” (Jer Warren)
