Discussion about this podcast

The Queenager with Eleanor Mills

The Queenager is a podcast with award-winning editor and interviewer Eleanor Mills that explores all aspects of midlife and this ‘age of becoming’, with guests drawn from a contacts book spanning 25 years at the top of UK journalism.

Eleanor is founder of NOON.org.uk, home of the Queenager (the term she coined to positively rebrand women in midlife). The podcast talks to distinguished Queenagers and explores everything from AI to bodies, sex and why women over 45 are being purged from the workforce. This podcast is all about reinvention, starting your next chapter, with the Queenager motto: ‘You are never too old and it is never too late’.

Eleanor creates a more optimistic narrative around the later stages of women’s lives with this podcast and her book Much More to Come, published by HarperCollins. She speaks from experience, having been made redundant from the job that defined her for 25 years before reinventing herself. She now feels happier in her 50s and more purposeful and energised. NOON’s world-first research shows this is true for many other women too. These are stories the world needs to hear.

The first series of the podcast features interviews with Baroness Martha Lane Fox, entrepreneur and technology expert; Dr Nighat Arif taboo-busting expert on midlife health; Dr Lucy Ryan, author of Revolting Women, Why Midlife Women Are Leaving The Workforce And What We Can Do To Stop Them; Dr Sharon Blackie, author of Hagitude and If Women Rose-Rooted; and Liz Earle, bestselling author of A better Second Half; and Laura Tenison MBE, founder of JoJo Maman Bebe and pioneering businesswoman.

Expect quality, amusing discussions around ALL aspects of the Queenager experience.
