In this hilarious and heartfelt podcast, award-winning comedian Nelly Thomas and guest co-hosts offer sex, relationship and dating advice from the other side of 40.
Like many people, Nelly got “Covid Divorced” after a long relationship and not only was it not a disaster, it was best for everyone involved. Turning 40 is something faced with dread by some but Nelly has a different take - this is when you really come into your own. Nelly and her guest co-hosts will help you navigate the highs and lows of break-ups, dating, relationships, sex and everything else in-between. Guest co-hosts so far include Cal Wilson, Harley Breen, Mel Buttle, Scott Brennan and Geraldine Hickey.

This month you're getting Nelly solo - fresh on the heels of her birthday, a solo holiday and a NEW LOVE. Nelly gets into some great culture shares, she talks about what it's like to start dating again at 51, and how to holiday alone. She takes some incredible listener calls and gets into a hard but necessary discussion about abuse perpetrated by women.

Author and ABC personality Jacinta Parsons came out of a very long-term relationship a few years ago and swore off dating. Then she met a bloke in an airport lounge and now they're loving each other sick, mate! Jacinta's dating story is like a rom-com that wrote itself. We talk about this, her INCREDIBLE NEW BOOK and, we take a brilliant listener call about being taken advantage of (to put it mildly) in an awful se*ual liason. Some if it is hard stuff, but so moving and relevant. I know you will love this episode - it has lots of laughs and tears. Just like we like it around here.

Nelly and Adam also talk about aging, we get an update on Adam's new adventures in Ethical Non-Monogamy, life admin and some other stuff.

This month we are joined by T-Rex - the President of the Melbourne chapter of the iconic Dykes on Bikes. T-Rex and I chart her journey from dirt-bike farm-girl to two marriages, some difficult relationships and ultimately, to finding herself and her person. T-Rex's journey is that of so many of us - a long and winding road to self-discovery and happiness with some pot-holes and fox burrows in between. You'll be inspired to find your own patch.

THE FABULOUS ADAM RICHARD is back with Nelly to tackle some listener letters and questions that they didn't get to last time. These range from how to set up your profile, to dating while s*x-starved to community to parenting whilst living with a mental illness. As always, they are hilarious and highly inappropriate.

One of our favouite homosexuals is back to help Nelly answer some straight lady questions from listeners. Why? Because, why not. Scott has been sitting in the sh*t and we get into that. We take questions on hooking up with a work friend, sex toy etiquette and, how to enjoy big events on your won. We also take an inspiring call about dating in a regional area, later in life. A beautiful episode with a dear friend of both Nelly and the Dear Nelly Community. You'll love this one - a ripper start to 2025.

In addition to your guaranteed monthly episodes, Nelly will now drop in solo and/or with a guest to talk sh*t and take listener letters when she has time. We start today with a very long episode with Nelly's old mate The Fabulous Adam Richard. Adam and his long-term partner have just opened up their relationship and Adam is loving some aspects and finding others challenging. They GET INTO IT. Nelly and Adam also take some wonderful listener letters.
It's a long one - listen in two parts or go on a really long walk.

This month Nelly has had a rough time and so she's decided to embrace the joy, mess and debauchery of life by making an entire episode out of dating stories. You'll hear the good, the bad and the ugly and if you don't cry/laugh multiple times, go get your pulse checked. An absolutely glorious episode.

In this ep, Nelly drops in to ponder how toxic people rely on silence and how liberating it is when you find your voice. She also muses on how egocentric we are when it comes to divorce, dating and all the things. She invites you to WWRPD - what would Ru Paul do - and ask yourself how important your current situation is in the Grander Scheme of Things. So you got divorced - sure it's huge, it's also nothing in the Big Picture view of human history and even, of your life. You can put the shame, worry and fear down. She also take wonderful call from a woman who was sitting right in the shit and is out the other side with a full bush and a new lease on her (sex)life. Bravo!

Nelly turned 50 last week and she drops in to take some birthday calls and talk about the bug 5-0 milestone.

Bec and I talk about being long-term-single, how to flirt (or not) and why rending to your own garden is the most important thing. We take a great listener call from someone who is NOT embracing being single and a letter about a pash n' dash. A great ep with a golden girl of comedy.
