• Resumen

  • Raj Pander is a lot of Almosts. Almost a promising young woman (she got told she was too old for a job). Almost a wifey for lifey (she’s a divorcee - according to Indian Matchmaking/Sima Aunty that makes her “disadvantaged”). And she was almost 40 when she started this podcast.


    Single. Living at home with her parents. Still watching TV shows made for teens. Still swearing on work calls. Still has an unhealthy obsession with pop culture. She’s getting older, but not necessarily wiser (s/o to Taylor Swift for relatable lyrics).


    Raj recently celebrated a milestone birthday, so we get into milestones on this podcast - not just the ones we associate with age, WE decide what a milestone is around here. On the guest episodes, Raj and her guests will get into 3 milestones from their lives, discussing their expectations of them vs the reality. And on the Almost Assessments, you'll hear guests taking a fake assessment taken by a “nurse” who asks the most annoying (and sometimes offensive) questions women get asked on a regular basis, leading to an unpredictable conversation based on their answers.


    Who said you’ve got to have your shit together by a certain age?

  • Almost Written by Judd Apatow
    Aug 2 2024

    Judd Apatow has mentioned that 40 year olds have a tendency to re-watch "This Is 40," so now that I'm 3 months into my 40th era, I thought why not? Join me as I figure out how turning 40 in 2012 compares to hitting that milestone in 2024. I totally forgot Leslie Mann's character was OBSESSED with telling everyone she was younger than her actual age, so I asked the squad to tell me about the times they've lied about how old they are. We also get into being a Mum in your 40s...


    I've decided I'm DONE with overpriced concert tickets (erm hello hi Diljit Dosanjh) and I want Gen Z to keep some of our secrets (they're really outing us for using the thumbs up emoji as a silent f*** you). Ummm and why is a child getting nail extensions at the nail salon. Come on, let us have nice things sometimes.


    Got shit to say?

  • Almost Assessment: Poppy Jay (Brown Girls Do It Too)
    Jul 27 2024

    Award winning Podcaster, BAFTA nominated Director and Raj's soul sister Poppy Jay (Brown Girls Do It Too) steps into the Nurse's office for an Almost Assessment (a faux doctors assessment based on the most annoying/offensive questions women are asked on a regular basis). Poppy reviews 11 dating apps - including Raya, talks us through her preference for open relationships and why she is cool with being an ANGRY BROWN WOMAN! Raj has been inspired by Shannen Doherty's funeral blacklist and has found another reason to be triggered by Sima Aunty (Indian Matchmaking).


    RIP Shannen - DYLAN AND BRENDA 4 EVA xoxo

Raj is not happy with the Ambanis. Surprise, surprise.
